What makes anyone think SC will be any different than IA & NH? [View all] Drunken Irishman Feb 2020 OP

I wanted Harris to stay in because I never felt Biden had it. krissey Feb 2020 #1

Yeah, we'll see. Bookmarking. Cha Feb 2020 #2

We will see how the polls go in the next 10 days Cha, but unless Biden and Warren are able still_one Feb 2020 #23

I'm just not letting the caucusy, non diverse Cha Feb 2020 #28

I agree Cha, that is why S.C. is critical for Joe. He refers to it as the firewall still_one Feb 2020 #40

I'm just hoping trumpgops can't FUBAR the open primaries.. Cha Feb 2020 #43

Absolutely still_one Feb 2020 #47

SC is key for my support of Biden calguy Feb 2020 #58

I know.. and if it's up to the gop he won't. Cha Feb 2020 #61

That is what I will be evaluating also for my Super Tuesday vote. If Joe does well in SC still_one Feb 2020 #80

still_one - Klobuchar does not even have an office in California. denem Feb 2020 #49

That's Amy's problem calguy Feb 2020 #60

Really. That may have to do with funding though. She may get a boost from N.H. coming still_one Feb 2020 #65

2 tiny, all-white states with candidates getting single-digit delegates decides nothing. brush Feb 2020 #63

True, but you can count on the media hyping to no end still_one Feb 2020 #67

I mean, it would be weird for them to step aside for someone they're beating Recursion Feb 2020 #74

Michael Bloomberg isn't on the ballot in SC. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #3

yet he is already at 8.2% in SC and climbing daily at 538 Celerity Feb 2020 #72

He shouldn't even be included in the polls there. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #75

remains to be seen what his final % is, write-in totals can sometimes be surprisingly high Celerity Feb 2020 #76

This is a far different situation. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #77

+1 uponit7771 Feb 2020 #90

He's in a lot of trouble, no doubt. DrToast Feb 2020 #4

Gee Whiz what makes SC different?? HMMMM oh black people live there. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #5

Yes and they too may abandon Biden just like others. Drunken Irishman Feb 2020 #14

That's fine they'll go to Bloomberg and then so will I. There is NO DOUBT about that. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #15

Not in South Carolina though jimfields33 Feb 2020 #69

".. may.." may not. Cha Feb 2020 #35

I'd be very surprised if they stick with him. Drunken Irishman Feb 2020 #70

There's only one outlier poll showing this uponit7771 Feb 2020 #91

My graduating class in high school was 93% African American. Gore1FL Feb 2020 #27

I agree it's not a lock but a hold and if he loses their love they'll move right over to Bloomie. UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #30

I don't know what the attraction is to the right. Gore1FL Feb 2020 #56

I don't know padah513 Feb 2020 #82

thank you Locrian Feb 2020 #84

Very disappointed in today. cherryinpa Feb 2020 #6

She doesn't appeal to black people and she is not even trying!! That is a problem. We will see UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #17

Not with 2 neighboring candidates running in NH, what did people expect ?! uponit7771 Feb 2020 #92

I have to agree with you. Joe is running a lackluster race. Blue_true Feb 2020 #7

I think the same thing can be speculated for Warren also. If in the next 10 days the poll numbers still_one Feb 2020 #8

They're both in trouble. DrToast Feb 2020 #10

Yup, and while I will see what the polls say in the next 10 days, if Biden or Warren still_one Feb 2020 #29

Any is the flavor of the week wisteria Feb 2020 #33

Her positions on the issues are quite close to Joe's. still_one Feb 2020 #50

Sorry to disappoint you, but Biden isn't going anywhere until after Super Tuesday wisteria Feb 2020 #32

If Biden does well in S.C., that bodes well for him on Super Tuesday. As Joe himself says still_one Feb 2020 #45

We eat our own - dontcha know... Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #24

Skya see what happens In the next 10 days and the S.C. primary. I think we will still_one Feb 2020 #31

Not giving up. As long as Biden remains in this race, I won't be jumping ship. He can count on that. Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #38

If he does well in S.C., that bodes well for him on Super Tuesday in my view. still_one Feb 2020 #42

I think that's right DarthDem Feb 2020 #57

+1 eyes welling. Feel the same. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #48

Many predicted we would commit political suicide. Trump is very happy, I am sure. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #37

As I said above, if Biden does well in S.C., he will do well on Super Tuesday still_one Feb 2020 #52

I had hoped. Fickle and divided party, great as it is, will make things tough this election. It emmaverybo Feb 2020 #44

Taking Sanders as an example, he lost 50% of the support he had in 2016 still_one Feb 2020 #54

Will they? Biden rises or sinks, but those states, or rather "the buzz," has already altered emmaverybo Feb 2020 #59

That buzz missed what happened to Pete in Iowa, and Amy in third place in NH still_one Feb 2020 #64

I think he's done too. cwydro Feb 2020 #11

I will wait and see. wisteria Feb 2020 #12

We will see how Amy and Pete withstand more vetting,too soon for anyone to drop FloridaBlues Feb 2020 #19

What's up with that? Of course both have softened on M4All, now talking transition, protecting emmaverybo Feb 2020 #53

Think we can probably thank the orange idiot for that Docreed2003 Feb 2020 #18

Bloomberg's strategy is working - cause Biden supporters to panic. Panic even when he's not on SC Skya Rhen Feb 2020 #21

I think this is an example of how Iowa and NH have too much clout in choosing our president Poiuyt Feb 2020 #22

SC is very different from IA and NH. Laelth Feb 2020 #25
