Exit poll results from South Carolina showed more than half of voters felt "betrayed" by the Republican Party. RNC Chairman Priebus argued that it was not reflective of his party, but instead of more widespread anger at the federal government and politics in general.
The party would be ready to support Donald Trump if he won the nomination, despite his past support of Democrats and many liberal positions.
Trump has emerged as the front-runner by winning over roughly a third of Republicans in the early voting states and in preference polls, packing his rallies with men and women, evangelical Christians and military veterans, blue-collar workers and wealthy retirees.
Voters give Trump the best marks for competence and decisiveness, which were important to more than 9 out of 10 Republican voters.
Ed McMullen, a Trump co-chairman in SC, rejected the impression that Trump's supporters are only a bunch of "lower-income, angry white men" and "rednecks," pointing to a series of campaign events in recent days at exclusive golf resorts and gated communities in South Carolina that attracted wealthy retirees and business leaders.
The party is changing from the bottom up. Just a thought.
