In South Carolina on Saturday the GOP establishment stacked the audience against Trump despite his massive lead in the polls.
The local Republican party chairman, Chad Groover, told local reporters the debate tickets were distributed to donors and party operatives.
The GOPe gave the tickets to donors and party insiders.
And it showed — Listen to the introductions – Once again establishment candidates Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio had the audience stacked in their favor.
On Sunday Donald Trump blasted the GOP for its ticket distribution.
Loved the debate last night, and almost everyone said I won, but the RNC did a terrible job of ticket distrbution. All donors & special ints

Trump then called on the Republican Party to distribute debate tickets to the general public and not lobbyists.
Tickets for future debates should be put out to the general public instead of being given to the lobbyists & special interests – the bosses!
