Winning South Carolina, Biden Makes Case Against Sanders: ‘Win Big or Lose’
NYT ^ | Feb 29, 2020 | Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Joseph R. Biden Jr. scored a decisive victory in the South Carolina primary on Saturday, reviving his listing campaign and establishing himself as the leading contender to slow Senator Bernie Sanders as the turbulent Democratic race turns to a slew of coast-to-coast contests on Tuesday.

Propelled by an outpouring of support from South Carolina’s African-American voters, Mr. Biden easily overcame a late effort by Mr. Sanders to stage an upset. The victory in a state long seen as his firewall will vault Mr. Biden into Super Tuesday, where polls open in just over 48 hours, as the clear alternative to Mr. Sanders for establishment-aligned Democrats.

With almost 100 percent of the vote counted, Mr. Biden, the former vice president, had won just under 50 percent of the vote, well ahead of Mr. Sanders, who had 20 percent. Tom Steyer, the California billionaire, was a distant third, followed by Pete Buttigieg and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. The victory enabled Mr. Biden to significantly narrow Mr. Sanders’s pledged delegate lead, but he did not appear poised to overtake him.

This was Clyburn’s “blacks had full employment during slavery” endorsement at work.

Unbelievable that they would vote for this buffoon.

Black folks sure have a strange attraction to old white men when it comes to elections

Very believable. I’m not buying into the hype of a tremendous black turnout for Trump. Perhaps 25% of black males will vote for him and that would actually be devastating to Democrats.

Black woman will vote the usual 96% dem like they did last time because the government is their husband and the father of their children for all effects and purposes

I’m willing to meet Joe halfway. Let’s send him back to the Senate, since that’s what he thinks he’s running for anyhow. He can have Chuck Schumer’s seat. He’d be an improvement.

Two things:

1) Biden has almost no money and has hardly advertised in a lot of the states up for grabs on Super Tuesday

2) Breadline Bernie is up BIG in California and is up fairly significantly in Texas. The delegate haul from those two states will be huge.

Biden’s win in South Carolina is probably not going to count for much.

Right, Biden better enjoy the next 48 hours because Super Tuesday is going to be rough for him. Especially if Biden does not reach the 15 percent threshold in California.

I thought I did see one poll not too long ago that showed Biden with a commanding lead; the others had it much closer.

Biden’s brain is shot. So if he is the nominee he must be the front man for a veep pick who will conveniently take his place in short order. Mike Obama. Hillary. Buttiegig.

But that extremely weak, demented and erratic brain has to get him through a general election campaign... against the greatest campaigner in the history of American politics.

All the medias horses and all the bloomturds men... aren’t going to shepherd slow, broken, quidpro Joe over the finish line.

Joe would be used as a “vessel” for a leftist cabal just like Obama was.
