ICYMI - Like Iowa and New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders Will Surpass Clinton in South Carolina...

Another fun look back at some of the highlights from Bernie's best comedy writer, HA Goodman.

To some observers, Bernie’s ascent in Iowa and New Hampshire correlates to the prevalence of an overly white and liberal population in these states.

Surely, a more diverse base of voters will be more favorable to Hillary Clinton.

Right?

So what do Clinton’s dwindling poll numbers have to do with South Carolina?

Or Super Tuesday?

Hillary Clinton shouldn’t simply expect to win South Carolina, or Southern states on Super Tuesday, simply because at this point in time, poll numbers show her leading Sanders among “non-white Democrats.” Below are three reasons why states with high African-American populations and “non-white Democrats” will eventually choose Bernie Sanders over Clinton, especially since only one candidate (Sanders) has a comprehensive Racial Justice Platform praised by Black Lives Matter activists.



Hillary won South Carolina by 47 points.
