Not to mention Bernie was marching with MLK. He really cared for justice long before anyone was watching. Hilary on the other hand proves in SC she has what it takes to win; the ability to mobilize useful idiots. And has what it takes to govern; remorseless ability kick them to the curb after they are no longer useful.
Sanders reminds me of an old school liberal; the kind to cared for ALL Americans, not just some like Hillary.
The sources I'm looking at say that 62% of Dem voters in SC were black.
Sanders wisely didn't really bother with SC...Hillary's win was guaranteed there. He has bigger fish to fry.
False.
Bernie spent $2 million on ads, had a campaign staff of 200 on the ground and 11 field offices. He put in the money - not as much time, because he's trying to cover more Super Tuesday states but it's completely not true to say that he lost big (no, yuuuge!) because he didn't bother. He just didn't win over voters, despite putting in the effort.
Real tough night for Bernie if anything close to the current margin holds. This was expected to be a big win for Clinton, but the margin as it stands now blows out of the water the expectations. The expectation game is certainly big for momentum. Momentum is certainly on Clinton's side even more so now, Bernie will likely need to win at least 5 of the Super Tuesday states, and needs some significant margins in more than just his home state.
Pundits were saying 20% is the number she needed to win by. Looks to be more like 50% now. This is stunning. Bernie is finished.
Yepp. As long as they don't get complacent. With Trump, though, Dems are going to turn out in record numbers to keep that fool out of the White House.
Uh; many Repubs WILL turn out to keep Hillary OUT, that "fool" thing goes both ways. I just wanna see Hillary nailed for her crimes, she's just "dirty" IMHO.

More than 71% of voters said they werent contacted by any candidates. More than 60% had made up their mind more than a month ago according to exit polls. There was no way a person who was known by 0.001% of the electorate in SC was going to do well against someone who everyone in SC knew.
Yes, but Sanders gets the minorities in the general election anyway. The point is that Sanders is much stronger among non-traditional democratic voters than Hillary, independents and white working class males. Trump doesnt stand a chance against Sanders when he eats into his base in addition to getting all the traditional dem voters.
If you are looking for a socialist, this election year is an opportunity lost that will not come again for many, many years assuming the Republicans right the ship.
But are you the type of Democratic voter who would vote for a candidate as badly stained as Hillary?
That's a whole different level.
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.)

You mean the New Dealer is a socialist? Any political scientist will tell you he is a social democrat or a New Dealer. Well anyone with two brain cells know this.
