Joseph R. Biden Jr. has won the South Carolina primary

Looks as if the Democrats in South Carolina kicked the following candidates to the curb:
Gabbard
Klobuchar
War-Hen
Buttiplugieg
to the curb.
Steyer just quit. I started a thread just now.
“the polls have been showing for weeks that biden was going to win SC”
Everybody knows those polls were rigged, too, by the Deep State to distract people while they planted more bioweapons in China, Korea and Italy...
All of me wants that. But I understand the stupid is strong in that particular demographic and it just ain't going to happen.
Did you happen to catch Biden bleating about how he wants opportunity for every American. Hello, Joe? What has Donald J. Trump given us when your administration was driving people out of the workforce and into early retirement or on food stamps for eight long years?
“When our President, DJT, was elected, the America-hating fungi at the NYT just happend to have the best site for compiling the results.”
it did indeed ...
I’m happy that the big State ambitions of Sanders/Warren didn’t do well in SC. I’m also disappointed because candidates with extreme anti-freedom/anti-liberty/anti-market positions like Sanders/Warren losing in 2020 would demoralize the party and force them to moderate.
Biden needed a huge win tonight. He needed it so badly, I’m surprised he didn’t campaign in blackface. When I first logged on, he was at 49.9% and now he’s down to 48.5. Sanders, meanwhile, has risen to 19.9%. I can tell you this: It will look like a bigger blowout if Biden beats Sanders, 50-19 than it will if he wins it 48-20.
20% in South Carolina will seem like a moral victory for an avowed socialist.
Right, it is all about optics.
Sanders still has the inside track. He is leading in most Super Tuesday states. Biden’s problem is that in many states he is not meeting the 15 percent threshold for delegates.
It’s shocking to me that Pig Steyer was able to break into double digits. Seriously, other than playing the role of Climate Chicken Little, what did he say to make anyone think he was electable?
No Bloomberg numbers? Or was he off the ballot, only being allowed into the Las Vegas caucus votes by the proletariat (er, dnc) party rulers?
And Sanders is projected to do really well in radical Leftist CA which is the mother load of delegates on Tuesday
No Bloomberg numbers because he wasn't on the ballot. Super Tuesday will be the first time he is on the state ballots.
Steyer spend like $25 million running ads in SC.
Contested Convention here we come.
Dem turnout in 2008 - 532000
Dem turnout in 2016 - 370000
Dem turnout in 2020 - 410000
Biden gets 60K less votes than Hillary in 2016. Turnout higher than 2016 because Dem and Rep primaries were a week apart.
Ah, thanks for those numbers!
With 100% reporting (see Dems? counting isn’t so hard), Biden runs away with 48% while Sanders finished with 19%. Steyer had 11%, Mare Pete with 8% and Grey Beaver at 7%.
Biden thanked his supporters in North Carolina for helping him return to the Senate.
Biden wins big in South Carolina. Here’s the deal, in fact, his campaign is almost out of money! Will Hunter lend him some to get through Super Tuesday? — Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) March 1, 2020
Will he be representing Ohio?
