He knew he’d do so poorly that he spent the day in South Carolina, where he’ll make perhaps a desperate last stand, and hope to survive until Super Tuesday on Feb. 5

“This is where we make our stand. This is where I have chosen to make my stand,” Thompson said at a campaign stop.

The South Carolina GOP primary is on Jan. 19, a week before the Democratic primary in the state.
