We shall see how it plays out in the polls in the next few days, or better yet, in the primary that is only six days away.
I'm wondering if Trump is so confident of his lead for the nomination that he's starting to campaign more for the general election.

Trump doesn't campaign, he is either performing or bullying. Working like a charm most of the time but he does need to hire a debating coach or two after yesterday's performance.

He's campaigning outside the box.

Trump Hints At Independent Run
"“Cruz has become unhinged and is lying with the hopes that his statements will go unchecked until after the election and he will save his failing campaign,” Trump said on Tuesday.
Now, Trump says the RNC must condemn Cruz’s attacks, or be in violation of the loyalty pledge he signed in September. Under that pledge, Trump promised the RNC that he would not run for president as an independent if he doesn’t win the party’s nomination next year. In return, the RNC apparently promised Trump that they would treat him “fairly.”
“The RNC is in default,” Trump said during a press conference on Tuesday. “When somebody’s in default, that means the other side can do what they have to do. … We’ve warned them twice, and they don’t listen.”" TP

I heard that press conference today. The threat was unmistakable.
The other thing he did was begin a stealth campaign to divide the Black and Latino communities by saying that he wanted the Dreamers to be Americans, not illegals. He wanted to create opportunity for real Americans, not strangers. He then launched into a diatribe about black unemployment and lack of opportunity.
Not real subtle, is he?

It doesn't look like Trump's full out assault on Gee Dubya's legacy and bitch slapping Ted Cruz around has hurt him one bit in SC.

However, I have a theory.
I think it won't hurt Trump very much because I think that deep down inside, in places they don't talk about at parties, these working class white people that support Trump know that Bush screwed them, they just don't want to admit that they were duped.
