It won’t matter much throughout the south because the Democrats are only going to be concentrating on three states in November and that’s Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina. Big whoop that Shrillary won South Carolina tonight. She’ll lose by double digits to Trump.

[SkyPilot]

She received 174% of the black vote.

It is a horrible feeling that every time i leave my front door one out of every two people i meet is a frigging lunatic. Oh, they may not seem it but i know.... PS.I live in MA so more like two out of three

Move to the SF Bay Area if you want to hit 100% every damn time.

[redgolum]

There will be at least one other third party candidate

Well....so much for Communist/Socialist Bernie Sanders!!! Bernie is out....That’s good news. Hillary Clinton is in...that’s bad news. Miserable Democrat voter turnout in South Carolina versus Republican voter turnout.....that’s fantastic news for the GOP!!!

- Republican voter turnout for 2016 South Carolina POTUS Primary - 738,000

- Democrat voter turnout for 2016 South Carolina POTUS Primary - 372,000

Another horrible promary voter turnout for the Democrat Party.

Republicans breaking primary voter turnoit records in very state, thus far.

Bottom line Hillary & Bernie are boring!!!

Only question is whether Rat turnout will lag behind last week’s GOP SC primary turnout.

These figures are from http://www.decisiondeskhq.com

Candidate       SC votes
Trump(R)         239,626
Rubio(R)         165,805
Cruz(R)          164,683
                 -------
Total(R)         738,640 (includes all R candidates and 'Other')

Clinton(D)       270,574
Sanders(D)        95,536
                 -------
Total(D)         368,137 (includes votes for 'Other')

Total votes    1,106,777

SC population  4,896,146  (2015 estimate)

Other interesting notes: Clinton won all 46 SC counties, Sanders won none. Trump won 44 SC counties, Rubio won 2, Cruz won none.

I live in CT. I would say it is about equal percentages Bernie/Hillary bumper stickers in my area. I suspect Bernie probably has most of his support in VT, MA and RI.

I've seen very few - if any - Hillary signs/stickers in northern CT/ southern MA. But LOTS of Bernie lawn signs.. (barf).

Just saw a Subaru from Vermont with a TRUMP sticker on I-91 in Springfield, MA earlier tonight. That must go over well in the The Socialist Republik of Vermont these days, LOL!

[nutmeg]

Thank you for those SC stats. Interesting...

[nutmeg]

upchuck posted the exact SC numbers in #126

[digger48]

thank you!

[Varsity Flight]

Bernie 15/hr. so
Hillary Bolshevik went to 12/hr

Bernie “progressive” ....so
Hillary Bolshevik declares she’s “progressive”

Bernie to release the prison population .....so
Hillary Bolshevik declares she too.

Donald Trump “Make America Great Again” ....so
guess what, Hillary’s new stolen line.

[dp0622]

she’s MUCH easier to beat.

Bernie the sick pervert communist is loved among the under 35 @@@@hole crowd.

[erlayman]

About 150,000 less than 2008 also. Trump is having a bigger impact on turnout numbers than Obama did.

[Nero Germanicus]

The Democrat strategy is to concentrate their effort and hold 14 states plus the District of Columbia that were won by Obama in 2012. The Democrats go after the states with the largest electoral votes.
Winning these states get the Democrats to the required 270 Electors:
California: 55 Electoral votes (60% for Obama in 2012)
New York: 29 Electoral votes (63% for Obama)
Florida: 29 (50% Obama)
Illinois: 20 (58% Obama)
Pennsylvania: 20 (52% Obama)
Ohio: 18 (51% Obama)
Michigan: 16 (54% Obama)
New Jersey: 14 (58% Obama)
Virginia: 13 (51% Obama)
Washington: 12 (53% Obama)
Massachusetts: 11 (61% Obama)
Maryland: 10 (62% Obama)
Minnesota: 10 (53% Obama)
Wisconsin: 10 (53% Obama)
District of Columbia: 3 (91% Obama)
Total: 270 Electoral votes by 14 winning states & D.C.

Additionally Obama won the electoral votes of: Colorado (9), Connecticut (7), Delaware (3), Hawaii (4),, Iowa (6), Maine (4), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), New Mexico (5) Oregon (7), Rhode Island (4), and Vermont (3).

CNN said light turnout.

Is the SC GOP primary an open primary? SC Dems may have already had their fun.

[ifinnegan]

“Most of the Democrats must have voted last week.”

Good point.

For Trump, of course.

[Pinkbell]

I don’t know if I think he’s with her campaign, but there is either something fishy there OR he is really stupid and thinks he can “play fair” and beat the Clintons.

[xzins]

I believe the Republican establishment tried to set up this election with a number of their candidates. Trump, Cruz and Carson were true outsiders and ruined their plan.

The democrats do the same. They had no outsider. All their candidates were In on the Clinton fixed race from the beginning.

Great clip; I hope BLM broadcasts it far & wide.

[AbolishCSEU]

Yep that robo-voting comes in handy. Vote early and often!
