yet he is already at 8.2% in SC and climbing daily at 538 Celerity Feb 2020 #72

He shouldn't even be included in the polls there. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #75

remains to be seen what his final % is, write-in totals can sometimes be surprisingly high Celerity Feb 2020 #76

This is a far different situation. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #77
