Clinton trounces Sanders in S.Carolina before “Super Tuesday”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has reclaimed front-runner status in the race for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, as she is the projected victor in Saturday’s SC primary.

On Saturday evening, Hillary Clinton scored a resounding victory over Bernie Sanders in the South Carolina Democratic primary.

Clinton’s SC victory was propelled by heavy support from Black voters, 87 percent of whom picked her over Sanders.

“SC results are very clear, absent Sanders dramatically expanding his base on Super Tuesday, the Dem nomination fight is over on Wednesday AM”, Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior adviser to Obama, tweeted shortly after Clinton’s win.

Exit polls in Nevada and sc showed Clinton with solid leads among female voters, while Sanders again carried voters under the age of 30. Clinton’s win provided an important boost for her campaign – and a moment to wipe away bitter memories of her loss to Barack Obama in SC eight years ago.

The two contestants will now face each other during next week’s “Super Tuesday”, with Clinton’s victory giving her a great deal of momentum.

Like Mrs Clinton, Mr Trump has won three of the four early voting contests. “I think we can pull it”, Sanders said. Between Clinton and Sanders “there’s just no contest”, Goldwyn told a Nashville crowd and took aim at Sanders’ call for a political revolution.

The win for Clinton is her third in the first four contests of the 2016 campaign. “There’s no way we’re going to lose in Minnesota; I can see that”, he says.

But, she said, “we do need to make America whole again”. She won the overwhelming support of black voters on her way to a commanding victory over Vermont Sen.

Sanders, expecting defeat on Saturday, left SC even before voting finished and turned his attention to some of the states that vote in next Tuesday’s delegate-rich contests. America has never stopped being great.

By comparison, Mrs Clinton’s win will inject extra energy into her campaign, which is vital going into this week when so many delegates are up for grabs.

“This campaign is just beginning. Now it’s on to Super Tuesday”, Sanders said.

“Let’s break down the barriers that keep people on the sidelines of our economy, especially women”, Clinton said.
