The HIll ^ | February 26, 2020 | Rebecca Klar

Former Vice President Joe Biden has an 18-point lead over his Democratic presidential primary opponents in South Carolina, according to a poll released Wednesday.

Biden has 35 percent support in the Clemson University poll released just days ahead of Saturday’s South Carolina primary.

Businessman Tom Steyer, who has focused much of his campaign on South Carolina, pulled in a distant second at 17 percent support in the poll.

Shouldn’t this headline come with a /sarc tag? It’s from the “Bee”, right?

Why? Black Preachers and leaders, heck, news networks had Clyburn’s endorsement carried live, pimp who their “congregation” must vote for, “In Jesus’ name” too.

It’s

Black people voting for Democrats are really members of the Back to the Plantation Party.

Too many candidates, unless Bernie wins CA. and TX. and has
over 40 percent of the delegates going into the Dem Convention , the DNC will take it away from him.

Bernie has to have enough delegates to win on the first ballot, otherwise here come Cankles.

South Carolina is February 29. Super Tuesday is March 3. Bernie Sanders could not have picked a worse time to face plant. Joe Biden will have all the narrative momentum going into Super Tuesday.

Bernie Sanders feels like one of the biggest paper-mâché frontrunners I've ever seen. People are acting like he's inevitable? What's he won thus far, seriously? He lost Iowa delegate-wise to Pete Buttigieg. He won by one whole point in New Hampshire, a state that borders his home state and in which he cleaned up in 2016 (with over 60% of the vote that year), only to plummet to getting not even half that percentage in 2020, not to mention he tied in delegates won in that state with Buttigieg. He did win Nevada pretty nicely, but it was another damn caucus, and as we saw in 2016, Bernie does a lot better in caucuses than primaries (see: New Hampshire this year, he'd have done a lot better had it been a caucus state.)

I am really not buying the "Bernie's running away with it!" narrative at all... at least, not right now, as I type this, anyway. Of course that will probably change if Sanders does indeed do really well on Super Tuesday.

Brainwashing at a massive level.

But if Warren drops out in the next several weeks and throws her delegates to Bernie, it might be enough to push him over the top on the first ballot. Then Warren gets the VP nod as a consolation prize.

I agree BS Poll. Biden will be tied w/ Bernie +/- a couple of points at about 25%. Then the rest of the pack at 10% +/-

It looks like the No Malarkey Express is finally gaining some traction.

Side question: Who in the Biden campaign thought of that slogan? I’m guessing that whoever it was has to be at least 80 years old.

He wrote the legislation permitting it to snow in Florida.

National Polls all favor Bernie. The advantage to Bernie is that Biden and the rest are weak / terrible campaigners. Of course, polls are typically crap, but he does not have anybody with flair running against him.

Economist/YouGov — Sanders +10
The Hill/HarrisX — Sanders +9
Emerson — Sanders +7
ABC News/Wash Post — Sanders +16
NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl — Sanders +12

Forget delegates and rules. Whichever candidate gets more popular votes in the democrat primaries and caucuses, even if it is a bare plurality, will be the “real” nominee.

Isn’t that basically what the democrats have been claiming about Hillary getting a plurality of the popular votes in the 2016 election?

If Slow Joe can’t win the South, he can basically pack it in and go home.

Biden is getting those hardcore white southern Democrats... The ones who can’t bring themselves to vote Republican because their grandpappy’s grandpappy fought for the south if they ever voted Republican, their great, great, great grandpappy would roll over in his grave.
