I doubt we are going to see a massive turn around in SC, but people around here make way too much about history repeating in exactly the same way.

Biden will probably manage to win SC, but even still Warren already has been projected to sweep up the early states in terms of delegates.

Given that Biden is so well known, you have to wonder what it will take for him to change the minds of the 70% not behind him currently. That case is much more easily made for Warren as she gains in the polls and looks increasingly viable.
