Due to the way South Carolina allocates it's delegates, Trump won all 50 of them with only 33% of the vote.

Trump is leading the delegate count in the Republican presidential nomination.

The billionaire businessman hauled in all of South Carolina's 50 delegates in Saturday's primary, giving him a total of 67. Sen. Ted Cruz has 11 delegates and Sen. Marco Rubio has 10.

The South Carolina results marked a major disappointment for Cruz, whose path to the nomination requires strong performances across the South. The Texas senator finished well behind Trump in the state known as the gateway to the South - despite Cruz's appeal among evangelical Christians and his southern roots.

Based on the way the state's delegates are apportioned, neither Cruz nor Rubio won any in what is shaping up as a three candidate race.
