“Four GOPers, One Showdown: Can Haley Emerge as the Winner?

The South Carolina GOP Presidential Primary is just weeks away and the pressure is on for the four remaining candidates, Governor Haley, Governor Kasich, Senator Cruz, and Senator Rubio, as they prepare for Sunday’s debate.

All eyes are on Governor Haley, as she attempts to come out on top in the polls this week. Presidential hopefuls usually seize the opportunity to make a good impression on South Carolina voters during this notoriously competitive state, and Haley is looking to use her natural home-state advantage to her best advantage.

The debate on Sunday promises to be an energetic one as the candidates battle for the South Carolina prize. For the political veterans, Governors Kasich and Haley, the event gives them the opportunity to test their parsed out strategies against the younger and more outspoken Senators Cruz and Rubio.

For Governor Kasich, he has the advantage of having served as leader of Ohio, a state close to South Carolina in terms of demographics and nuances. He has been slowly but surely gaining momentum, and thus far he has won over many Republican primaries. Being the establishment-oriented candidate, he needs to have a leader-like presence and shine among the four.

Senator Cruz strives to make a name for himself in the South. Coming out strong in the Iowa and Texas primaries, he is looking to turn those victories into votes in South Carolina and project himself as a viable choice as GOP Presidential Candidate.

Senator Rubio, perhaps the biggest celebrity contender, voted the “most likable” by voters, is the surprise favorite as of late. He hopes he can make the most of his momentum to shine in the debate and come out on top as the clear GOP candidate choice.

All of the candidates are focused and focused, and Governor Haley is no exception. With her competitors seeking to maintain and increase their lead, she needs to set herself apart from the others and make an impression on the viewers during her impending 60-minute face-off.

The GOP Primary for the South Carolina state will be key in the party’s decision-making for the Presidential Election. All that remains is for the four candidates to make their best impressions this Sunday as Governor Haley seeks her breakout moment.
