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.

Joe’s coming for your guns.
Not sure how he is going to get them without guns?
Oh, that’s right the government is allowed to have guns but the people are not.

Just what’s the deal with Obama first being on and in for ‘bike will get it done’ ads and now as I see he is mouthing off praising about slow joe’s presidential training under him?
Never (many years of mine) to my knowledge has a prior president cast his conceptions into subsequent president elections.
Maybe it’s
One for the money
Two for the show
I sort of but really can’t feel sorry for Democrats and their sorry brood

You said...

- Some black guys for Trump... maybe 25%

- Just about no black women.

That sounds about right to me.

Another traditional Dem voting bloc is the Jews. I wonder if Israel-hating Brooklyn Bernie will be able to hang onto most of them (if he’s the candidate). I think the answer will be “yes.” Liberal Jews... like my cousins... can be remarkably obtuse politically. They’re not religious religious, but they are politically religious, and their habits are set.

The lesson:

SC Democrat primary voters are mostly black

Therefore, SC doesn’t matter

Trump has 30+ % of black voters nationally

Just wondering if the average IQ of the SC voters is the lowest in the country?

Joe isn’t in this for the win. He’s senile enough to think he is, but I expect the DNC has other plans.

For this primary election, the SC DNC gets to do its rigged voting, exit polls are properly aligned and the MSM gets to do their schtick about blacks “outpouring their support” for sleepy Joe. Finally, they do get their act together.

Joe’s only job is to keep Bernie from a majority. He’s so senile now, he has no chance for one, himself.

A few properly “run” primaries should do it.
