Like Iowa and New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders Will Surpass Clinton in South Carolina

Like Iowa and New Hampshire, Bernie Sanders Will Surpass Clinton in South Carolina. Here's Why

Hillary Clinton shouldn't simply expect to win South Carolina, or Southern states on Super Tuesday, simply because at this point in time, poll numbers show her leading Sanders among "non-white Democrats." Below are three reasons why states with high African-American populations and "non-white Democrats" will eventually choose Bernie Sanders over Clinton, especially since only one candidate (Sanders) has a comprehensive Racial Justice Platform praised by Black Lives Matter activists.

1. Hillary Clinton emulated the GOP in her utilization of race during the 2008 campaign. South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn even asked Bill Clinton to "chill out."

2. The Clinton Campaign used a controversial 3 a.m. ad to win Southern votes in 2008, which Harvard Sociologist Orlando Patterson believed contained a "racist sub-message."

3. Bernie Sanders has a Racial Justice Platform praised by Deray Mckesson while the founder of Black Lives Matter in Boston has called Clinton's racial justice record "abysmal."

Like the viewpoints expressed by Anoa Changa and Pat Downs of Women for Bernie in a recent HuffPost Live segment, African-Americans, Latinos and other demographics of voters will vote based upon the merits of a candidate; not a poll number linked to name recognition.

1. I KNEW this was written by HA Goodman before I even clicked on the link. It's comical.

2. "I'm Voting for Rand Paul in 2016."

That is from the author of this piece. I take his opinion with a grain of..... Never mind, I know where to stick his Paul loving opinion.

Rand Paul Puff-Piece by H.A Goodman is Intellectually Dishonest

That's an understatement.

Does Nader have any pertinent thoughts on Hillary you would like to share?

4. Lots of RW sites being posted on DU to trash HRC.

5. I have seen some pretty good articles posted at HP.

But my radar immediately went off on this one. That is a lot of the difference. Many of our new voters can't tell the difference between a piece supporting Sanders written by progressives and a piece written by a Paul supporter. This isn't the first time I have seen those lines blurred. They are becoming one and the same.

3. Hillary spent the day campaigning with Clementa Pickney

The day of his assassination. She is very loved in SC.

6. They did not show her delegate love in 08. Obama, 55.44% Clinton 26.52% Edwards 17.57%

That's the politics of it. It was a very nasty primary there in 08. It was 58% Obama to 40% Clinton here in Oregon which is much better than what she did in South Carolina.
