As The Battle Heads South, Candidates Know South Carolina Can Thin The Herd

NEW YORK – February 12, 2016 – Coming out of New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary with Trump’s big win, Rubio’s tough loss, Kasich's huge leap, and Fiorina’s and Christie’s exits, the candidates know the results in South Carolina could shake things up again. The fifth episode of THE CIRCUS: INSIDE THE GREATEST POLITICAL SHOW ON EARTH, “The Winnowing,” airs this Sunday, February 14 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME. Can Kasich capitalize on his Granite State success? Will South Carolina continue to be the Bush family stronghold it once was?
