Bernie Sanders: $36 million raised in February

Senator Bernie Sanders said his shellacking in the South Carolina Democratic primary is “about as bad as it’s going to get” for his campaign, and forecast wins in at least five of the 11 states where Democrats will vote on Tuesday. She won the support of almost nine in 10 black voters, crucial Democratic backers who had abandoned her for Mr Obama in 2008. Close to 400,000 Democrats voted in the poll, and 86 percent of those voters believe Grayson should back Bernie Sanders.

But if Sanders loses the African-American vote by similar margins in the upcoming Southern states, like he did in South Carolina, Clinton would likely take a delegate lead hard for him to overcome.

Sanders will win his home state of Vermont and he has concentrated his campaigning efforts in the run-up to Super Tuesday on MA and Minnesota in the north and Oklahoma, which have a large percentage of liberal and blue-collar voters with whom the senator plays well.

Sanders will also be hosting a Super Tuesday rally in Vermont Tuesday at the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction. But for Clinton, it’s not just about wins and losses (though she certainly wouldn’t mind more landslides like she had on Saturday).

Clinton’s camp was hoping a big win in SC, after more narrow victories in Iowa and Nevada and Sanders’ clear win in New Hampshire will set her up for a big night on Tuesday, when about 875 delegates will be up for grabs, more than one-third of those needed to win the nomination.

“‘Tomorrow this campaign goes national”, she said.

Clinton shot down Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again”, and his plans to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.

Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again.

If Clinton does have a very good day Tuesday, Sanders will just be too far behind in delegates to catch her unless something changes dramatically, and very soon.

Several news organizations said Clinton won the primary immediately after polls closed at 7 p.m. EDT.

The result comes ahead of next week’s “Super Tuesday” voting in 11 states.

SC has 53 delegates at stake. They found Clinton with a commanding lead, garnering 56 percent support. More than the number who voted in the SC primary.

Sanders holds a 48 to 42 percent lead among men and 58 to 36 lead among voters aged 29 and younger, according to the survey.
