US politics continues to give off a smell faintly redolent of rotting fish and ammonia
A lot of small town Republican voters, looking for a tiny sliver of excitement in their drab lives (even if it's a WWIII caused by the collapse of the Global System), have got on their obesity scooters and pick-up trucks and gone out and voted for Donald Trump instead of some Indian lady in the South Carolina Republican Party Primary.
The final vote count was:
Donald J. Trump 451,905 (59.8%)
Nikki Haley 298,674 (39.5%)
This was actually a good result for Haley, as it was better than the 30-to-50 point lead that Trump had in earlier polls, and means that Haley can stay in the race a bit longer, in prime position to benefit from a possible collapse in the Trump campaign caused by ongoing "lawfare" attacks on him or more drastic action by the Deep State, who clearly don't want him to even win the nomination.

WTF! The Bulwark are stealing our takes...
Assuming, of course, that the same Deep State waging law fare against Trump didn’t put a finger on the scale in favor of Jeb!(2.0).
