Hillary has a lock on South Carolina by a landslide...

[Cheese Sandwich]

South Carolina is over. Hillary wins it by a landslide. SC voters have had their minds made up for a while. The SC voters have made their decision from the beginning that they would stand with Hillary and that is their choice.

That's what the polls show. Nobody can even make a dent in her overwhelming lead.

The other candidates will make polite symbolic efforts there, but Hillary's lead is unquestionable and insurmountable in SC.

[hrmjustin]

1. Lol.

[Cheese Sandwich]

6. nice

[peacebird]

2. Too bad for Hillary that the primary isn't happening this week...

You may not have noticed but Bernie is ahead of where Obama's insurgent campaign was in October of 2007 in three key areas:
He is polling higher against Clinton than Obama was
He has drawn far larger crowds than Obama had
And he has more donations.

But yes, i will conceded that, like in 2007, Hillary is the frontrunner for the Dem nomination in October.

[Robbins]

9. I agree

Bernie is doing better than Obama was at this time in 2007

look Clinton may win SC but let's talk after debates and Iowa and NH go to Bernie before we talk about landslide.

this is october and many in sc still don't know Bernie.

[Cheese Sandwich]

13. It seems like they know enough to have made their choice

Most SC Democratic voters have decided.

They are not undecided. They are not waiting to hear more. It's a done deal.

[reddread]

22. are you in favor of more debates?

or any?

[ronnykmarshall]

5. New Hampshire ---

2008 Hillary wins NH: DU reaction - Hillary was attacked on DU with thread of voter fraud. Heads exploded. HRC supporters were dammed to hell.

2016 Bernie leads in NH Polls and if he wins: DU reaction will be - HILLARY IS DOOMED! SHE LOST THE ELECTION!

You read it hear 1st

[demwing]

14. Hear? Wear?

[reddread]

23. HILLARY IS DOOMED! SHE LOST THE ELECTION!

but it was never really hers.
maybe they shouldnt have put all their eggs in the pre-debate polling basket.
You dont need to wait for New Hampshire to read it here first.
stick a fork.
on the upside, as they rotate on the spit, we can look forward to one of the most
storied of political would be dynasties turned into MASSIVELY failed has-beens, with a
legacy of scandal that just wont quit.
there will be plenty to enjoy and appreciate in the afterlife of their inevitable defeat.
Thank you Team Hillary!

[ronnykmarshall]

37. Legacy of scandal?

oh please go on .........

[reddread]

38. whatever for?

MSNBC will probably give Monica her own show.
What a spectacle before us!

[ronnykmarshall]

41. Oh yeah that new show.

"Winky Winky w/ Lewinsky"

[workinclasszero]

4. But..but..trends?

Or something, I dunno.

Go Hillary!!!

[zappaman]

7. Bullshit. The latest poll has Sanders winning all 50 states.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251650529

Nice try though.

[RandySF]

11. Good luck with that

[ronnykmarshall]

19. That's a LOT of acid that was dropped

in that thread

[Adrahil]

28. You forgot your sarcasm smiley...

[workinclasszero]

31. Aww crap

I guess Hillary should just give up now. That Internet poll is not affiliated with the man so it must be true!

[Scootaloo]

8. To no one's surprise.

[tularetom]

10. Must be that fake accent

[ronnykmarshall]

20. Well yes of course

ANY poll that shows Hillary winning MUST be fake right?

And of course has to be mocked. But Godzilla forbid ANYONE dare question the mighty steam roller that is the Bernie Sanders machine.

This place is so full of crap

[aidbo]

21. He's not calling the poll fake. He's calling Hilary's accent fake.

And implying that the results of the poll are because of it.

I suggest taking a deep breath & counting to 10.

[ronnykmarshall]

35. Oh whatever honey

Hillary can be attacked, made fun of, have right wing bullshit posted to attack her around her .... but oh HELL no it's hands off Bernie.

I like Bernie. I would never talk shit about him. But his supporters around here are have free range to attack Hillary AND her supporters. Alerts are total bullshit.

[aidbo]

43. Well, bless your heart.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

46. "Honey." (n/t)

[aidbo]

47. Catch more flies with 'honey' I guess? not sure why one would want to catch flies though.

[ronnykmarshall]

48. Well I was told to

"put on my big girl panties" by the jury for alert I sent on an insult to me .... so I guess since that homophobic and sexist term is ok by a jury member ... then "honey" should be just keen. Doncha think?

[WorseBeforeBetter]

49. Take a couple of deep breaths, ronny.

None of this is worth getting your knickers in such a twist.

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. Yeah and why even bother voting! She's in like Flint.

Do they do Coronations in SC? Maybe just hand her a crown on her way through to the next state coronation. That would save a LOT of time, money and effort.

[Uncle Joe]

15. It's "inconceivable" that any other outcome could take place.

Thanks for the thread, Cheese Sandwich.

[RobertEarl]

16. SC is run by republicans

Most people in SC are not too wise when it comes to modern politics, so it should be no surprise that even the few democrats there would be beholden to the same old same old like the Clinton.

However, if Bernie can get a few delegates from SC then that would be great!

[Cheese Sandwich]

17. They like her for some reason.

If Bernie or any other candidate can eek out a few delegates in SC it would be a miracle.

It's almost like Hillary's home state or something. She probably has a bigger lead there than in her actual home state.

[RobertEarl]

18. SC loves their confederates

They live in the past. Clinton is the nearest thing to the past they can find.

[zappaman]

32. Clinton is a confederate now?

Who knew?

[ronnykmarshall]

42. Is that the new attack point?

Wow. More acid trips for these kids.

[sufrommich]

33. South Carolina is 28% African American,most are democrats.

My guess is that 0% of them " love their confederates".

[JI7]

36. SC Democratic Primary Voters are mostly African Americans

[Starry Messenger]

40. O rly?

25. the ghost of Ricky Ray Rector

24. South Carolina has voted for a Democrat in presidential elections

twice in the last 55 years - 1960 and 1976. Not much of a bellwether.

[reddread]

27. Kennedy and Carter?

Id settle.

[hifiguy]

30. Eeyup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_election_results_by_state

But it's one of the reddest states in the country over the last 35 years.

[artislife]

26. Interesting choice of words

considering the state is landsliding.

It's going to be an Obama Fema camp soon, anyway.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

29. But Donald Trump just said he is gonna take care of women.

Trump and his ilk are what we get if the left somehow shoots itself in the foot and harms any of their candidates.

[HooptieWagon]

34. Bookmarking.

Since OP is talking smack, it's entirely permissible to shove this back in the face if Sanders wins.

[Cheese Sandwich]

39. OK

I support Bernie Sanders too but South Carolina is just

But I hope you are right

[Jester Messiah]

44. Well, they do traditionally like Republicans there. So she's a good fit. [nt]

[thesquanderer]

45. Even assuming HRC wins SC

(which I agree is very likely the case)

remember that SC awards its delegates proportionately. So Sanders should not pack up and forget about it. Personally, even as as BS supporter, I'd be glad if he came within 20 points of her in SC.
