From Aljazeera:
"Trump appears to be well ahead in the South Carolina Republican primary," said Louis
DeSipio, the director of the Centre for the Study of Democracy at the University of
California, Irvine. "As long as it remains a multi-candidate race, he seems able to
hold on to about a third of the vote, enough to 'win'. Should the field drop to two,
he would probably be at more of a disadvantage."
