For months, the press and the Republican establishment alike have been expecting the Trump bubble to implode. Now that it’s clear Trump isn’t going anywhere, we’re seeing stories about a long slog of a campaign or even a brokered convention. But there’s a very real possibility that, far from those kinds of days of reckoning, Donald Trump could actually “run the table.”

Bernie Sanders could play spoiler in New Hampshire GOP primary

Bernie Sanders might be Donald Trump’s best friend in New Hampshire.

Donald Trump would win New Hampshire easily if the election were today (which it isn’t)

Donald Trump leads the Republican field in New Hampshire by a two-to-one margin, according to a new CNN/ORC poll in the state. More than two-to-one, actually; Trump has 34 percent to Ted Cruz’s 14.

Donald Trump has a 20-point lead over his nearest Republican rival in New Hampshire, according to a CNN/WMUR poll released Wednesday. But that rival is now Ted Cruz, thought to be a more formidable contender in Iowa.

Trump has 34 percent support (a 2 percent bump from December), followed by Cruz at 14 percent, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush at 10 percent and Rand Paul, Chris Christie and John Kasich each tied at 6 percent.

For South Car­o­lina Re­pub­lic­ans, Char­le­ston is the state’s es­tab­lish­ment strong­hold, where old money and stately man­sions rep­res­ent the party’s fisc­ally con­ser­vat­ive wing.

In most pres­id­en­tial primar­ies, the es­tab­lish­ment’s in­sider clout and con­nec­tions tra­di­tion­ally trump the cul­tur­al con­ser­vat­ism in the rest of the state.
