Seriously, just 2 in 10 want someone more liberal than the guy who decided that NAFTA didn't do a good enough job of destroying South Carolina textile jobs and decided to have TPP? Damn.
Well,
You need to stop thinking white progressives are the core of the democratic party base, especially in South Carolina

Only white progressives care about jobs?

Not everyone in the party thinks like an activist on the internet.

Knew it was coming. Cringe.

Luckily the Reddit cult isn't representative of the vast majority of Bernie voters.

Those are really disgusting comments, but I expected them too.

I'm not looking forward to the barrage of condescending comments and possibly racial slurs when Sanders loses South Carolina badly.

Name recognition is incredibly powerful and attachment to a name is even more powerful. Sanders clearly did not give people a good enough reason to get on board with him.

The results were surprising in terms of the margin, as nearly 50 points was not something that most would even have thought of (the Clemson poll definitely gets credit for nailing the margin). As I said before, name recognition was everything and it really contributed to the size of the win. With that said, I do think that Super Tuesday could really close out this race.
