South Carolina Won’t [Yet] Give JEB! the Family Advantage in 2016

How DARE you hick morons not vote for me!

Wilbur J. Cash must be turning over and over in his grave at the lack of deference today's "post-modern" South Carolinians are showing to their rightful Crown Prince.

(IJReview) - South Carolina helped deliver both President’s George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush to the White House during their respective primary elections.
In 2016, however, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush may need to work much harder to win votes in the early primary state.
In South Carolina, George H.W. Bush won back his lead after he landed a disappointing third place in the Iowa primary. In 2000, George W. Bush face a similar challenge after reaching only second place in New Hampshire. South Carolina restored the Bush victory again. Today, suggests Politico, the third primary state might not offer the same safe haven to Jeb Bush.
Some GOP voters have balked at the idea of yet another Bush in the White House:
 “There’s going to be some resistance to a Bush III here,” Fred Payne told Politico. Payne had once backed George W. Bush 15 years ago, but is now uncommitted.
Most voters in South Carolina believe that the field for the Republican nomination is wide open. While Bush and Walker lead official polls, there is still a lot of interest at the grass roots level for candidates like Dr. Ben Carson, former Texas Governor Rick Perry and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.
