6. Yes. A big win in SC would, in fact, alter the fundamentals in favor of Biden.

The problem is that it appears, more and more every day, that Biden will not get a big win in SC. This is what I see.

Steyer is making a serious play for SC. Kat Taylor has set up house in Columbia, and Steyer decided to forego NV and focus on SC, instead. Steyer is seriously cutting into Biden's support in the state. The result may be that Steyer's campaigning will hand the state to Sanders.

If Biden can't pull off a win in SC, his candidacy is doomed. It looks like Steyer, the Republicans (who are voting for Sanders), and everybody else I can think of, is fighting against Joe.

For what that's worth.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Steyer is being selfish. He ain't winning shit and is hurting Biden. IluvPitties Feb 2020 #10

You may be right. Laelth Feb 2020 #11

Wait until AFTER super Tuesday! whistler162 Feb 2020 #8

There are 54 delegates, and a 15% threshold. Biden is polling 4ish higher then BS at 25.5ish. jmg257 Feb 2020 #9

I agree, and that was wise. Laelth Feb 2020 #20

Not as much as several days ago. wyldwolf Feb 2020 #22

If people want Biden to win, Bloomberg and Styer both need to drop out. bluewater Feb 2020 #17

Not gonna happen. Laelth Feb 2020 #18

I'm not excluding Biden from dropping out either. Kingofalldems Feb 2020 #19

Understood. But think long and hard about Bloomberg, he has too much baggage. bluewater Feb 2020 #21
