Hillary Clinton wins Saturday’s SC primary

“Remember, this is their fourth campaign in SC”, he said.

“The leaders who set large goals are the ones who get those goals accomplished”, said Dina Johnson, at the Sanders rally Saturday.

“We don’t need to make America great again”, Clinton said in her victory speech Saturday night in a clear reference to Trump’s campaign slogan.

She went on: “We are going to compete for every vote in every state”.

Though Saturday’s turnout was low, Clinton allies quickly touted the breadth of her victory.

“Instead of building walls, we need to tear down barriers”, Mrs Clinton said. “She has experience. At this point in the world landscape, we need people with experience”.

She dedicated the victory to young people, women and people of color, thanking them for their support.

Clinton’s commanding win over Vermont U.S. Sen.

“The last thing I am is a conman”. She won a decisive victory in SC. Sanders, a fierce opponent of super PACs and high-dollar campaign fundraising, has built a massive network of small donors and has the money to stay in the race deep into the spring. She received strong support from African-American voters in SC.

When Sanders landed in Minneapolis, he told reporters the loss was all part of the process. The person who wins the most elections on that day nearly always becomes the nominee of their political party.

“We know that beyond Super Tuesday, the states are a lot more favorable for Bernie Sanders including Washington”, said Kato. They had it well organized, they did well and I congratulate them.

SC has 53 delegates at stake.

In an odd twist, besides black voters lining up behind Clinton, they also viewed her as the candidate who is most trustworthy, which is contrary to feelings expressed by Democratic voters in New Hampshire and Iowa.

Sanders knows his prospects with South Carolina’s heavily black Democratic electorate are grim. According to exit polls Clinton also exceeded the president’s share of the black vote, winning 87 percent to Obama’s 55 percent (although that was against two other candidates). In 2008, President Obama won 78 percent of black voters. Sanders, meanwhile, tops Clinton by a roughly 60%-40% margin among white voters.

While it’s still too early to declare Clinton the outright front runner, her major victory comes at an opportune time-a couple of days before Super Tuesday.
