NBC: Clinton Thunders to Big Win in South Carolina

[DCBob]

Hillary Clinton won a landslide victory in South Carolina's Democratic primary Saturday, giving the Democratic frontrunner a decisive boost of momentum heading into the Super Tuesday contests in just three days.

Clinton defeated Bernie Sanders by double digits, dominating the minority vote in the diverse southern state and showcasing a broad coalition that's expected to deliver another series of victories for her when Democrats in 11 more states head to the polls on Tuesday.

"Tomorrow, this campaign goes national!" she told supporters at a victory speech in Columbia. "We are going to compete for every vote in every state, and we're not taking anything or anyone for granted."

The media will be full of headlines similar to this which will likely have a big impact on Super Tuesday voters. The momentum and bandwagon effect will push Hillary's numbers even higher. Looks like a very big day for Hillary come Tuesday.

1. Historic beatdown. nt

[DCBob]

5. Massive blowout.

Bigger than anyone predicted.

[Iliyah]

2. K & R

[pacalo]

3. Lindsay Graham's state -- no surprise.

[KingFlorez]

4. Sanders performed best in the most Republican counties in the state

I'm just saying.

[pacalo]

7. Lindsay Graham does well enough to stay in office.

It takes more than Republican counties to accomplish that.

[KingFlorez]

9. That's not the point

The point is that Clinton won big in the most Democratic counties and that is why her win was so big.

[pacalo]

11. The point for me is that SC did what it was projected to do.

No surprise to me.

Lindsay Graham's state went to a Republican-lite Democrat.

[KingFlorez]

20. You are not understanding why your logic fails

Sanders did best in the most Republican counties in the state and Clinton did best in the most Democratic counties in the state. Sanders clearly did not appeal much to Democrats.

[pacalo]

22. Sanders is very different from Lindsay Graham. Chalk it up to taste.

[DCBob]

6. What does Lindsay Graham have to do with good Democrats in SC?

I dont get it??

[pacalo]

8. He's the face of South Carolina -- he's the senator from that state.

(You did ask.)

[DCBob]

10. And how does that impact good Democrats in SC??

I still dont get it.

[pacalo]

13. The good Democrats? They're focusing on Bernie Sanders today.

[DCBob]

14. So Democrats in SC who voted for Hillary are not "good"??

I dont get that either.. please explain.

[pacalo]

16. Why don't you explain what you meant by "the good Democrats of SC"?

I was quoting you when I used the term.

[DCBob]

23. All Democrats are good in my opinion.

Especially in comparison to the alternative.

12. Great Tweet

Felt the Burn? "Press" & "social media" make it impossible to hammer BO in IA & NH and not pay for it later. #SouthCarolinaPrimary

Yep.

[Marr]

15. No one expected Sanders to win in SC.

Congratulations to Hillary Clinton on winning her first primary.

[DCBob]

17. Many Bernie supporters on this site argued that once people in SC "got to know him"..

they would vote for him. That turns out to have been nonsense.

[Marr]

18. Well, if we have to account for anonymous voices on the internet when

we use the phrase 'no one', we might as well retire the phrase. 'Someone' on the internet believes they are a duck. There's always 'someone'.

[DCBob]

21. Just responding to your claim.

Instead of using the word "no one".. you should have said "few" or "almost no one".

[Starry Messenger]

19. So much for the Bernie is 2008 Obama narrative.

The pivoting is going so fast we're going to need lok-tite.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. But she cheated

Everyone knows Bernie is Gawd.

[NurseJackie]

25. Big donors will likely begin to dry-up for Bernie...

... and a lot of small donors may begin to drift away too.

[slipslidingaway]

27. LOL at the big donors comment, Sanders is not beholding to corporations who profit from the ...

suffering of most Americans.

[2pooped2pop]

26. Yep the state that will ultimately go to Trump

[DCBob]

28. And that matters how in regards to a Democratic primary??

I dont get it.

[2pooped2pop]

29. I think you do
