the AAs, in SC, will not "fall in line" - just as they won't "fall in line" if Warren wins Iowa.

The kingmakers will not be predominantly white states. All roads to winning the nomination run through the racially-diverse states. This means that the black votes actually have relevance.

That being said, I can see Buttigieg in Biden's cabinet - for sure...
