=== Alaska's Harsh Winter (04:31) ===

[00:00:00]  Hello everybody, Dennis Prager here, coming to you from Seattle, Washington.
[00:00:06]  I spoke last night.
[00:00:08]  It's a wonderful church here, I'll mention it later.
[00:00:12]  We're going to put up the video of the pastor interviewing me.
[00:00:15]  It'll fascinate you, I think.
[00:00:17]  Also, I spent four days in Fairbanks, Alaska, where the average temperature in the winter is minus...
[00:00:26]  15, often minus 25, sometimes minus 50. I actually, I'm not joking, I hit a hot spell because the temperature got up to 4. So I didn't experience what I really wanted to, and I also missed the northern lights.
[00:00:44]  If you don't know about that, it is one of the phenomena of nature that people strive to see in the Arctic areas, very northern areas in the winter.
[00:00:55]  Four nights in a row, it didn't show up.
[00:00:58]  And that's why the French have a saying, c'est la vie.
[00:01:04]  Anyway, welcome to the show, everybody.
[00:01:06]  Dennis Prager with you.
[00:01:10]  And Donald Trump won another resounding victory.
[00:01:14]  And this was in South Carolina, which is Nikki Haley's state.
[00:01:18]  Nobody is surprised.
[00:01:21]  The question...
[00:01:24]  That needs to be addressed is, will he win?
[00:01:32]  And of course there's no way to know.
[00:01:34]  That's obvious.
[00:01:36]  But I read a very interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal on this issue, and I'd like to just offer you some thoughts with regard to that.
[00:01:57]  Hmm, okay.
[00:01:59]  Let's see here.
[00:02:00]  Sorry, folks.
[00:02:01]  When you're on the road, there's a lot more to do.
[00:02:06]  It's a very important series of questions with regard to the victory.
[00:02:16]  Then I have the terrible murder of this precious young woman in Virginia.
[00:02:26]  By an illegal immigrant, but I'm first here.
[00:02:31]  In South Carolina, this is Wall Street Journal, 16% of Republicans in the GOP primary said they would be so disappointed if Trump were the nominee they wouldn't back him in November.
[00:02:45]  A potentially dangerous signal that he could have trouble rallying his party behind him.
[00:02:51]  That compared with about 20% of Republicans in New Hampshire's primary and 15% of Iowa who said they wouldn't back Trump in the general election.
[00:03:01]  Another danger sign, Trump lost to Haley in two of South Carolina's three most populous counties, Charleston and Richland, as well as Beaufort County.
[00:03:11]  Those are the only counties in the state in which residents with a college degree make up 40% or more of the adult population.
[00:03:20]  Trump also lost among voters with postgraduate degrees, typically professional class workers, and he lost among voters with a yearly household income of $100,000 or more.
[00:03:34]  So, I have railed against Republicans who won't vote for Trump, the never-Trumpers, for five years now.
[00:03:48]  To think that the Democrats will do more good for the country than a Trump administration in the face of his having been president for four years is 100% irrational.
[00:04:04]  It is based on a feeling of revulsion at his behavior.
[00:04:10]  Which, by the way, I do understand.
[00:04:17]  Every human is a package.
[00:04:19]  And the Trump package versus any Democrat package.
[00:04:25]  How could you be never Trump?
[00:04:26]  I'll have more on that and about the poor young woman who was murdered.
