S.C. Congressman Jim Clyburn endorses Hillary

[oasis]

MSNBC for his statement.

[Iliyah]

1. K & R

[oasis]

45. Morgan Freeman interview on CNN later. He's backing Hill also.

There's no stopping her now.

[Beacool]

51. Yes, he did the voice over for one of her ads.

It's a great ad.

[oasis]

53. Solid. Thanks for posting.

[Beacool]

55. You're welcome.

[oasis]

2. "Clinton is a fighter" Clyburn says.

And he'd be correct on that.

[NCTraveler]

3. Great man. Great endorsement. nt.

[oasis]

5. Huge actually. Remember, Clyburn stayed on the sidelines in 2008

and made no endorsement of Obama or Hillary.

[Tanuki]

18. He said elsewhere that his wife and daughters pushed him to make a public endorsement this time..

As a historical note, he met Emily when they were both in college and he was arrested while demonstrating for civil rights. She was among a group of students who brought food to the jail house. She gave him a sandwich, and he's been eating out of her hand ever since!

[oasis]

38. Cute story. Great legislator.

This key endorsement comes close to sealing the deal for the nomination.

4. What's Going On MSNBC?

Last night I couldn't go to MSNBC to watch the Town Hall because I don't have cable and you couldn't access without it. Today when Clyburn endorses Hillary - guess what? I'm able to view it on MSNBC even though I still don't have cable. Isn't that interesting?

[oasis]

7. I'm not sure how that works. At least you weren't subjected to

the Scalia love fest.

[trueblue2007]

48. oh stop with the conspiracy theories.

did you pay the cable bill.

[noretreatnosurrender]

57. Don't Have Cable

No Cable Bill To Pay.

[trueblue2007]

58. well maybe that isn't why you didn't see the town hall.

oh, you had to turn on your tv to see it.

[noretreatnosurrender]

6. Big Fan

I'm a big fan of Clyburn. He's a class act as evidenced by his praise for Sanders even when endorsing his opponent . Good on you Jim. You have my respect.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. Congratulations.

[oasis]

9. Thanks.

Btw, lifetime Dodger fan here.

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. I knew you couldn't be all bad.

Man oh man I can't wait til these primaries are over!

[oasis]

14. We can relax

and enjoy the pennant race.

[frylock]

23. Even year means Giants pennant.

Sincerely, Padres fan.

[oasis]

25. This is a "blue D" year.

Democrats and Dodgers.

[frylock]

26. No matter how poorly the Padres do, I always look forward to opening day.

[NurseJackie]

10. This is big ... VERY BIG!!

[oasis]

12. The SC gap just widened. Irreversible shift of election momentum.

[MoonRiver]

27. The influence is beyond SC!

Notice Clyburn announced his endorsement one day before the Nevada caucus.

[oasis]

44. Like Hillary said at the town hall "let's get this thing over with".

[bigtree]

13. k&r

[oasis]

15. Thanks bigtree

[Jefferson23]

16. He gave her a very good endorsement and he said so in such a gracious manner, he did

not want to endorse too early. Then he added I wanted to make sure SC gets some money
spent from people coming down here in our state..ha ha.

He is a classy guy and she is fortunate to have him endorse her.

[oasis]

17. It's important to note Clyburn made no endorsement in the 2008

Obama/Clinton race.

[Jefferson23]

20. Yes, he mentioned that too, you can probably get the video on it and add it to your thread. n/t

[oasis]

39. Thanks for the tip but I'm technology challenged.

Cut and paste is even harder for me working with my fat fingers on my small IPad.

[Jefferson23]

40. No problem, I will try and find it for you..I saw it live on TV but it should be avalable by now.

I'll post it to your thread.

[ismnotwasm]

19. K&R

[DrDan]

21. this is a BIG and well-deserved one!!!

[oasis]

28. Colossal. Clyburn going the other way would have been a turning

point for Bernie's campaign.

[DrDan]

46. a huge impact in SC and on Super-Tues

[Beacool]

22. Watch out for the bus, Rep. Clyburn. Stay off the road!!!

Wonderful endorsement!!! First John Lewis and now Jim Clyburn. Two great men.

[frylock]

29. I think Bill had to drag him out from under the bus after that 2am phone call.

[oasis]

30. There is a "so sad" thread already but not the usual nasty stuff.

No bus. Minivan.

[Beacool]

50. OK, maybe things are looking up.

[Gothmog]

24. This is a major endorsement

[oasis]

31. Clyburn held the key to the floodgates. nt

[Fearless]

32. Guess the intimitadation worked this time.

[oasis]

35. Yup, from Clyburn's politically aware wife and daughters.

He felt the burn of their fiery passion for Hillary.

[DrDan]

47. one of the few who will not be intimidated

[Starry Messenger]

33. k&r

[oasis]

37. Thanks.

[BklnDem75]

34. Looks like the attacks have started on FB...

Calling him a sellout and threatening to vote him out. It's like clockwork.

36. Since when did Vermont and New Hampshire folks get to take part

in South Carolina elections?

[Jefferson23]

[oasis]

42. Thanks Jefferson 23

[Jefferson23]

43. You're very welcome, and enjoy.

[Buns_of_Fire]

49. He's a better man than I.

If I'd been the recipient of a 2AM phone call from Bubba calling me a bastard, I think I would have invited the whole clan to perform several anatomically impossible acts upon themselves.

[mcar]

52. Excellent endorsement!

[oasis]

54. Clyburn, Nevada and South Carolina. Great way to go into Super Tuesday.

as Hillary said at the town hall, "let's end this thing and get to work".

[DisgustipatedinCA]

56. That's a big one for Clinton. I wish he'd considered Sanders, and maybe he did.

I'm glad he was a stand-up guy in the way he chose to endorse her. This one is all to the good. Congratulations on the endorsement, team Clinton.
