COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Hillary Clinton overwhelmed Bernie Sanders in Saturday's South Carolina primary, drawing staggering support from the state's black Democrats and seizing an increasingly strong position as the presidential race barrels toward Super Tuesday's crucial contests.
Clinton's lopsided win — she led by 48 points with nearly all precincts counted — provided an important boost for her campaign and a moment to wipe away bitter memories of her loss to Barack Obama in South Carolina eight years ago. She won the support of nearly 9 in 10 black voters, crucial Democratic backers who abandoned her for Obama in 2008.
During a raucous victory rally, Clinton briefly reveled in her sweeping support from South Carolina voters, hugging backers and posing with them for selfie photos. But then she pivoted quickly to the contests to come.
"Tomorrow this campaign goes national," she said. "We are not taking anything, and we are not taking anyone, for granted."
Sanders, expecting defeat, left the state even before voting was finished and turned his attention to next Tuesday's delegate-rich contests.

Thunders? too easy.
Loved the part where she said “We don’t need to make America great again”
Yes, I know she said more, but you know damn well from her past that she actually MEANT this part.
The black racist crowd voted for her by an Obama-style 9-1 margin.
Boo-hoo! Hillary is a grafter pandering to the lowest common denominator in America.
That I do believe.
She said she is running for the Third Obama term and means it.
Yup. The Bern is a regional candidate.
He’ll never win anywhere outside New England.
In the general election, he would get crushed simply because socialism isn’t still mainstream.
Hillary is the only national candidate Democrats have on offer.
Well, there’s Romney.
The media starts the coronation procession.
They’re swooning over Hillary.
They’d never give Trump that kind of treatment, unless they look increasingly ridiculous denying the fact in front of them.
Of course! Wife of the first black president deserves some respect...or something.
It appears the freestuffers showed up to vote. At least once.
I thought i read somewhere that more blacks came out to vote for hillary than voted for obama in 2008. What was the turnout for the democrats yesterday vs the republicans last week?
....her “speech “ sounded like someone dropped off a 12 lb dead sea bass on a pier with 30 hungry seagulls
Democratic turnout has lagged everywhere this year.
If you subtract the black vote in SC, Hillary’s margin would have been around 10 points.
White voters don’t have a good impression of her.
Clinton thunders to big win .... followed by a big thigh of relief...
Last week’s SC GOP turnout was 740,000
Last night’s SC Democratic turnout was 362,000.
So there is almost 350,000 vote gap.
Clinton “thunders” every time her fat legs move. So what?
The Triumph of The Shrill
the Secret Service needs to really ask itself if there is anyway in the world it will subject itself to yet another term with Hillary Clinton . New guys should be talked to by the old guys . Their fate is in their hands .
Same with the Armed Forces ; they need to ask themselves ; is there any way that they could tolerate a C&C named HC ?
They really need to ponder this one . It goes way beyond oaths or traditional duties or anything like that . Their existence , the continued existence of the nation is at stake . Same with a Bernie , God forbid....
I hope , I pray , some folks , somewhere , are thinking in these terms .
