This Saturday, February 24th, will be going live right around 8.30 p.m. Eastern. That's this Saturday, February 24th.

chances are that this is going to be the death knell of the Republican primary in South Carolina.

And we should talk about it. So if you haven't already, go to patreon.com slash my Craig
