17. Democrats havent' won S Carolina since Jimmy Carter

Feb 2020

Remember when the pundits were saying Sanders wouldn't last to the first convention.
Then Sanders would be trounced in Iowa

Oh then Sanders wouldn't make it past a diverse state with non white voters

Biden meanwhile was 30 points ahead in the polls

Then 15 points

And now he is maybe 5% ahead in that one state that he is hoping will somehow save his campaign. A state he has no chance to win in the general. So I have no idea how this is going to prove his argument he can win against trump.

Reminder, this is Biden's third attempt at running to be the Democratic Nominee. IF he wins S. Carolina that would make the grand total of states he was won... 1
(And there is less and less reason to think he will even win S. Carolina)

Sanders has run twice. His grand total for both is 25. Or 26 of you count Iowa which I am since he got the most votes.

At least when Clinton was called the front runner and Sanders was being told he should drop out, Sanders had actually won a few states by then.

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