Clinton Eyes Landslide Victory in South Carolina Primary
We want them to say, ‘Hey, look, I respect your choice, but take a look at Sen. Sanders, I-Vt., who has built his campaign on money from small donors, also is being helped by super PACs, but they’re less involved in his campaign and have far less money.
But with SC on tap Saturday, many believe it’s the ultimate must-win for Sanders.
“Sanders had been in Congress for 30 years, but hasn’t developed meaningful relationships with many black elected officials”, Gray said.
Clinton leads in the delegate count at this early stage, winning two of the first three nomination contests – in Iowa, narrowly, and then in Nevada.

Bernie Sanders, down by double digits in the polls, made his final pitch to SC voters Friday on why they should choose him over Hillary Clinton in Saturday’s Democratic presidential primary.
Before a thousand people Thursday evening, Clinton recalled the June massacre by a white gunman who killed the pastor and eight others at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston.

Audience members listen as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at Solicitor David Pascoe’s Annual Oyster Roast and Fish Fry while campaigning in Orangeburg, S.C., Friday, Feb. 26, 2016. While Democrats uniformly picked Clinton over Sanders, both candidates had around a 10 percent difference between their most impressive and least impressive showings. Despite her primary poll lead, Hillary’s campaign has continued to organize gatherings with locals in order to drive home her devotion to the struggles of the black community.
She is campaigning for a landslide victory in South Carolina’s Democratic primary, while Sanders is already looking ahead to Minnesota, Colorado, Illinois and beyond.
Super delegates: Most of the 712 Democratic superdelegates, who are free to make up their own minds on which candidate to support, have pledged allegiance to Clinton. “Every time she’s knocked down, she gets right back up and she gets back to work”. Clinton lost the state overwhelmingly to Barack Obama in a heated contest where her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was seen by some as questioning the legitimacy of the black presidential contender.
But South Carolina voters appear ready to forgive.
“We have been dealing in the last seven years alongside an unprecedented level of obstructionism opposing Head Obama”, Sanders said.
24 percent, while men go 47 percent for Sanders and 43 percent for Clinton.
