Angry white women going 51-49 to Sanders.

[Ljube]

This will NOT be good for Bernie come Super Tuesday. If Clinton becomes presumptive nominee, will Republicans rally behind Trump out of fear?

Absolutely!

Honestly, I don't see the reason why black people would vote for anybody other than TRUMP.

Clinton regularly made racially charged attacks on Obama, our greatest president, during the 2008 campaign. It is clear that she is no true friend of African-Americans.

Sanders moved away from Brooklyn because Brooklyn had too many African-Americans for his white supremacist ideals. He moved to the whitest part of the country.

Also, notice the fact that Black Lives Matter has protested Sanders and Clinton events, but never TRUMP events.

Oh? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/black-lives-matter-protester-details-trump-rally-attack-article-1.2445342

Those protesters were merely misinformed. TRUMP has a great relationship with the blacks. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if both Clinton and Sanders regularly donate to Stormfront.

[The Other Castro]

Yeah, I'm calling it at at least 80-20 now.

Bye, Bernie.

Lol don't worry it will tighten plenty.

[RI]

Yeah, I'm calling it at at least 80-20 now.

Bye, Bernie.

Lol don't worry it will tighten plenty.

Yeah, this is all early vote, which was about 75% black. Election day was about 60%.

When they say they got a lot of TRUMP-related traffic, I'm sure it was all in opposition to TRUMP, because his relationship with the blacks is so great.

[The Free North]

Angry white women going 51-49 to Sanders.

The angry black women are clearly out in force today for Hillary though.

[yourelection]

31 to 12 delegates could also give Clinton a psychological boost.

About as good as the KKK with African Americans. A minority isn't going to vote for a David Duke endorsed candidate.

Who says that they can't? It just shows how TRUMP unites all of America.

It looks like Nate Silver was right.

Do these Clinton scores among Blacks indicate anything other than a personality cult ? Low information vote ? I mean dayum !

lol dude you are from France. Don't even think for one second you can comment on the choices black Americans make regarding politics.

I will surely make sure to ask for your permission to ask questions or post posts from now on.

Folks who lack answers to questions and don't want to answer questions attack. I don't have an answer to the question of the heavy lean of the African American vote in SC, but have a hypothesis that its a mix of things such as:

-General allegiance to the president and the Clintons
-The AA vote in SC being generally conservative, especially for the older generations, and thus seeing Sanders as unacceptable in comparison to Clinton
-Not super enthusiastic about Clinton but active voters who are generally ok with either candidate but default to the one they know better
-Notions of electability, ect (The Clintons won before, and we like winning, ect)

There's a lot going on, or perhaps less than one might think in a situation like this.

He flees Brooklyn because it has too many blacks but then helps Jesse Jackson win the Vermont caucus? OK.

[MisterElection2001]

Wilson is now ahead of Martin O' Malley at .3%.

[LLR]

This is disappointing...

[IceSpear]

Even worse for Bernie: There's no way to spin this, 3 days before Super Tuesday. If anyone's going to overperform and get late momentum, it will be her.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Imagine what the margins will be in Georgia and Alabama where Sanders is spending nothing and hasn't campaigned at all.

[RI]

Clinton down to 62 in Oconee. Only at 55 in Anderson.

Also, Bernie taking potshots at Barack Obama certainly didn't help.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Who did Ernest vote for, Willie Wilson or Bernie??

Bernie. I'd have considered Wilson if it weren't for the 15% threshold for delegates.

[Alcon]

If Beaufort County is 73% Clinton with three-quarters of precincts in, this isn't going to improve for Sanders all that much.
