Joe Biden Surges In South Carolina
538 ^ | February 27, 2020 | Nathaniel Rakich

As Nevada went to the polls last Saturday, the FiveThirtyEight forecast considered Sanders the slight front-runner in South Carolina, with a 1 in 2 (46 percent) chance of winning it. It gave Biden a 2 in 5 (40 percent) chance. Since then, in a reminder of how fluid primaries can be, Biden’s chances have skyrocketed. As of Thursday at 5:38 p.m. Eastern, Biden has a 14 in 15 (94 percent) chance of winning the Palmetto State, while Sanders’s odds are down to 1 in 20 (5 percent).

The first hint of Biden’s comeback came two days ago: Biden had only a small lead on Sanders in our South Carolina forecast at the time, but the first survey conducted entirely after Nevada, from Public Policy Polling, showed Biden up 15 points. At that point, the poll was an outlier. Well, not anymore. Since Wednesday, we’ve gotten six new polls of South Carolina, most of which have given Biden commanding leads.

I hope Biden wins SC. I hope the non-Sanders candidates each win enough to stick around a while, though it is not likely.

Comrade Crazy Bernie is not even in SC campaigning, he’s written it off focusing on the Super Tuesday states where he’s gonna wipe out Senile Joe and mini mike doomberg.

Joe’s win in SC keeps the brokered convention in play :)

Sounds like typical loser campaign spin to me.

Just like on Election morning 2016, Hillary had a a 98% chance of winning.

Biden is a total stiff.

The do-nothing Senate is going to ram through FISA renewal and go on vacation. March will be another month gone with zero results. Except for the Deep State, of course. The coupists are laughing all the way to November. The fix is in.

Part of the ramp up for a well funded vote fraud effort against Sanders, would be to simulate a surge by Biden, to help cover up the crime.

Whoever wins what, we need Bernie to get 44.4% of the delegates going into the Convention.

That is the perfect amount of delegates for maximum chaos.

The longer Biden stays in, the more pathetic and sad he will get (and the more the MSM will cover it up).

Our open primary system in S.C., the one that lets Democrats reelect Flimsey Tinkerbelle, will allow me to vote for Plugs Creepy this Saturday and insure that the Democr@p convention in Milwaukee will be a brokered bloodbath a la Chicago 1968.

Hope and spare change!

I’d say Warren has a 95% chance of whining.

Joe will win SC, but after Super Tuesday, he’ll drop out and endorse Bernie for his bold naked-toddlers-rubbing-each -other’s-genitals position.

This article was in the Ukrainian newspapers today - not in the US. If this was known I wonder how Biden would do?
