This is a special edition of the podcast on the results of the #SCPrimary. It is important to realize that while the voters clearly picked Donald Trump over the rest of the field, there are certain things that they did not vote for that need to be brought out into the light and talked about.
The GOP field is now down to 6 main candidates as they head to South Carolina. This is where the showdown between personalities and principles will finally happen, which is why we at Conservative Review are holding our Conservative Convention in South Carolina.
Will the PERSONALITY candidates show they have any substance behind their act?
Will the PRINICPLE-based candidates hit the main stage and show they can win?
Finishing 3rd is now better than winning.
In politics Bronze has become the new Gold. Who knew that finishing 3rd was so compelling and great? Well, after Iowa, you would think that to finish 3rd is the best thing a campaign could do, evidenced by the way the media played up Marco Rubio finishing third, while discounting all the reasons Ted Cruz won. Interestingly though, just days prior to the Iowa Caucuses, the media gave Cruz little chance of beating Trump, but even Donald’s 2nd place finish was met with little fanfare. Daniel and Joe break down why this happened and what it means moving forward.
