No surprises here. They announced it immediately when the polls closed. So not even close. Bernie didn't even have a watch party in SC. I assume he is already out of SC.
I've said for a long time that Bernie Sanders was going to lose this one.
About the only think left of interest would be the turnout.
The thing about Sanders is he didn't even try to win in SC. Is he actually trying to become President?
"Help Me, Obi-Wan Trump. You're My Only Hope" against the establishment hand picked candidates.
And there it is, vote for the female and not the one most qualified for the job. That is a problem in this country. Some people vote race and gender instead of qualification to do the job. And we wonder why this country is in trouble.
Yes I am. I'm a Hillary supporter. I know there are a lot of them too. I wanted her 8 years ago. I still want her to win. (As do a lot of white female Democrats.)

And there it is. If women support Hillary, it must be because they are voting with their vagina and not who they feel is the one most qualified for the job.
Does it make a difference? The coronation was affirmed right after Iowa, when the super delegates were given to Clinton. And talk about disenfranchising the vote of the people, the dems have excelled at that with their super delegates.
Super delegates consist of all the democratic members of the house and the senate, and a democratic chair and assistance chair from each state. And to give an example, the dem chair of Iowa has a plate that says HRC 16. So anyone have any idea who she will be a delegate for?
It's set in stone. The only ways she won't be the candidate is if Lynch indicts her, which Obama won't allow or she dies. It is set in stone.
So tell me, not that I care, how is this super delegate BS not disenfranchising the people in the states that voted for Bernie, only to see Bernie not getting his FAIR share of delegates?
Perhaps they have their own concerns outside your narrative. Or is you just think they are all uninformed?
Well, they are not going to see those concerns addressed when every candidate in the future has to beg the richest 0.001% of the population for money and resources to compete. The billionaire class who will fund future elections has totally different priorities than a working stiff in South Carolina.
I will continue to phonebank and volunteer for Bernie, until it is literally impossible for him to win, but it is tough to compete against these odds.
And once again, completely false that he didn't try.
2 million in ads
200 staffers on the ground

He was trying and trying HARD. But he lost 3 to 1.
That's peanuts against someone with 99% name recognition, 30 years in the public spotlight and a treasure trove of cash.
