Numbers don't lie in SC [View all] UglyGreed Feb 2016 OP
SC stays red. Got it. oasis Feb 2016 #1
Dems not coming out to vote for Hillary. Got it. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #2
And really not coming out for Bernie Renew Deal Feb 2016 #4
Not in South Carolina. He didn't really get to campaign there enough. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #6
He had months! Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #12
Hillary has had years. South Carolina with its small conservative and relatively backward Live and Learn Feb 2016 #15
Backward population? Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #20
Howl away but it is pretty obvious that the majority of the state is pretty backward Live and Learn Feb 2016 #22
And you are from there? Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #24
Nobody said everyone there was backward. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #27
Hillary is a moderate Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #31
Not by her record. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #34
Her record you like to look at Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #38
I don't have to look, I have lived through it. Iraq War for starters. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #42
Yeah, I've lived there too. Cassiopeia Feb 2016 #44
No one said it was progressive Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #51
Okay, we'll go with stagnant then. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #64
I'd prefer "relatively conservative," myself. Lizzie Poppet Feb 2016 #53
Wow. That was offensive. SC has one of the highest densities of graduate degrees in the country. Buzz Clik Feb 2016 #25
Nope, about the overall or average population. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #28
Cool. You've defined yourself. Works for me. Buzz Clik Feb 2016 #33
Are you trying to appear comprehensively challanged on purpose? nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #65
"Backward Population?" MineralMan Feb 2016 #37
Back at you. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #66
If this is backward, I'll stay backward, thank you AgerolanAmerican Feb 2016 #62
I don't find them to be especially polite either. Polite condescension is not polite. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #67
"True" Democrats will do everything they can to avoid a SCOTUS oasis Feb 2016 #10
A Hillary SCOTUS appointment won't be any better. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #13
If you really believe that, okay. oasis Feb 2016 #29
I know that. She is bought and paid for. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #35
Turnout UglyGreed Feb 2016 #8
Bernie had less than half as many folks as Hillary turn out for him bigtree Feb 2016 #40
My point is UglyGreed Feb 2016 #46
your point was couched in a misleading premise bigtree Feb 2016 #50
You know that SC has a lot more republicans? And more candidates means more voters. Renew Deal Feb 2016 #3
So, we should vote for the guy who lost to Hillary? Buzz Clik Feb 2016 #5
Yes. It would be the moral vote anyway. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #7
Maybe I should cast a write-in for Jeebus. Buzz Clik Feb 2016 #9
Don't you have something UglyGreed Feb 2016 #19
I think it would be the immoral vote Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #14
Then you would be wrong. Hillary is the one that can't win in November. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #16
Really? Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #21
Here I fixed it for you; Likely Voters - enjoy: Live and Learn Feb 2016 #26
Cute trick Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #36
What trick? All I did was use likely voters. Your chart was wrong since it included people that Live and Learn Feb 2016 #41
Well, we are screwed then, eh? Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #45
Nobody believes she has a 99% chance at beating Trump. TDale313 Feb 2016 #43
Yep. Indeed Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #48
Again, I think you're in denial. TDale313 Feb 2016 #59
So what do you suggest? Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #60
Well, not willing to write Bernie off just yet, but... TDale313 Feb 2016 #63
Yes; because the disaggregated vote tallies show that crucially important blocs voted FOR Bernie, i amborin Feb 2016 #11
No. Bernie is unelectable. Period. He can't win within the left, and he has no reach into the right. Buzz Clik Feb 2016 #23
Oh, he definitely wins within the left. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #30
Yes, silly me. I am judging his popularity by the votes he is getting. Buzz Clik Feb 2016 #47
That has nothing to do with the left. Bernie has gotten the left vote. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #49
Oh. So Bernie made a mistake by declaring himself a Democrat. At last, we agree. Buzz Clik Feb 2016 #52
Oh, so you just make shit up? I never said that. Lying disgusts me. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #54
Lying doesn't disgust you or you'd stop. Buzz Clik Feb 2016 #55
More lies? Do you ever stop? nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #57
Not much of a selling point, is it? Lucinda Feb 2016 #17
Bernie or doom and gloom Dem2 Feb 2016 #18
Not a narrative just the truth. Sorry it isn't prettier. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #32
Indeed. Dem2 Feb 2016 #39
+1000. nt sufrommich Feb 2016 #56
If you are on a sinking ship... Kalidurga Feb 2016 #61
I love surprises! HassleCat Feb 2016 #58
