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.

He pretty much tied Hiterly in Iowa. I figure there might be pockets of socialist all over.
Bye, Bye, Bernie.
Yaaaaaay - the “We’re gonna take thing from you for the common good” person beats the Socialist .... huh, wha, wait....
The story I heard (TV, don’t remember which network) clearly meant higher percentage....not sure if it’s true though.more later.
I’ve read a few stories on this,
For the GOP, I think about 750,000 people voted.
I don’t find the exact stats for the Democrats, I would be surprised if it topped 200,000 for this big win by Hillary.
Okay, I see in one of the posts above, the number of voters in both primaries.
Yes totally agree. However, I think SOME (not most) Bernie people are Trump people.this isn’t because they are “liberal” but because the polling shows 15-20% of the Bernie voters want “jobs” and “better economy.” So I don’t think they all are nuts, just desperate.
Guess they would rather stay with the sort we already have... a lying murderer... you want the Clinton list?

For decades, he has studied people with psychopathy, and worked with them, in prisons and elsewhere. It stuns me, as much as it did when I started 40 years ago, that it is possible to have people who are so emotionally disconnected that they can function as if other people are objects to be manipulated and destroyed without any concern, he says.
