Black voters in South Carolina just wish they’d start fighting Trump.The week leading up to Saturday’s primary was probably the best of Biden’s presidential campaign. Wednesday received the endorsement of Rep. James E. ClyburnThe downside of Biden’s all-or-nothing focus on South Carolina was little time or money spent in the swarm of states that vote in three days;on Super Tuesday.

, losing to Hillary Clinton by a whopping 48 percentage points. He received only 14% of the black vote, a harbinger of what followed as Clinton capitalized on strong African American support to sweep the South and put herself on an irreversible path to the Democratic nomination. The state was never crucial to Sanders’ strategy, so finishing a distant second was not a major setback.

Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts in their home states.

5 takeaways: 1. Bernie leads the black vote nationwide. 2. Bernie crushes it among young black voters in SC. 3. Biden won a must-win state for him, fuelled by Clyburns endorsement. 4. Biden won because SC is old and moderate, not because it's black. 5. On Tuesday, Biden's done.

No they won’t they’ll vote for Biden .

Yawning

Let’s go Joe!

Congratulations for your big win obama

I have a takeaway. Blacks in South Carolina would vote for Dennis Rodman as long as he gets endorsed by old ass Clyburn 🙄 BlindSupport

did someone let the idiot Biden know that he has toilet paper on his shoe?

Go Biden! CA, don't believe Bernie's free this and free that. Nothing is free, nothing. Bernie voted against imposing sanctions on Russia; he praised Castro; he voted against gun reform bills 5 times; he voted with NRA; he's not a Democrat. And he wants to get rid of Obamacare.

Guy had early dementia

Thank Congressman Clyburn for his effort to carry the state in a must win situation...

the front runner is a lonely hunter

He lost 3 states

Obama's VP won South Carolina ...yawn
