Trump Won With ‘Falwell Factor’ in South Carolina

Donald Trump owes Jerry Falwell Jr. a big fat wet kiss.

Trump’s big win Saturday night falls largely on the shoulders of the son of the late great Jerry Falwell Sr.

After New Hampshire, I wrote Trump would “march South” triumphant, leaving that moderate, independent-leaning New England state and do surprising well in conservative, evangelical South Carolina.

There were some doubters. Cruz had done exceptionally well in Iowa, due to the evangelical voters.

But Falwell, a Southern Baptist, and his Liberty University, the South’s leading evangelical university, would weigh more significantly with evangelical voters in the Palmetto State, I argued.

And the exit polls prove that Trump won South Carolina because of a seismic shift of evangelical voters away from Cruz to the billionaire. (Read more from “Trump Won With ‘Falwell Factor’ in South Carolina” HERE)
