relieved to know that they could go with their heart (not just their head) and vote for Obama after he won Iowa, which strengthened his electability credentials.

As an AA, I have not gotten the slightest impression that SC AAs have that same kindred love for Warren, as they had toward Obama.

comes in third, or a low second in both of those states, he may not have such a large margin in SC. He's going to need more than just wins in Southern states to keep his head above water as we go towards the convention.

managed to convince themselves that past election wisdom concerning the importance of choosing a candidate who can win a general don't matter and Trump will be easy to beat...he won't be easy to beat...so she and Sanders are shuffling supporters and she got some of Harris's too...but in the end there are more moderates in this party and people who want to beat Trump period who will come out and vote. She also has a dismal showing in the most recent NC poll and I doubt very seriously either Iowa or New Hampshire will influence those voters...especially the way the delegate are falling at the moment. She will not be the nominee IMHO and since it is likely Trump can win WI, MI and PA should she run that is a good thing...of course I vote blue no matter who...so if I am wrong, she has my support.

accelerate her trend. I'm sure a lot more people think that Trump just got a lot easier to beat. The impeachment drama will play itself out for months, and by the time it is done, we may well have a nominee, or at least one who stands a good chance of surviving multiple ballots.

I agree, she's not going to do well in southern states. However, winning Iowa and New Hampshire would give her quite a boost going into Super Tuesday. I'm with you in thinking that she cannot beat Trump/Pence/Romney/whoever the GOP has on the ballot on Election Day, but the recent turn of events has appeared to work to her benefit in obtaining the nomination.

The BS campaign continues its humiliating downhill run. He really had trouble in SC not long ago.

Remember his rally in North Charleston, SC not long ago? It had so LITTLE ethnic diversity that it looked like he could have been somewhere Vermont. In fact, based on the statistics, the demographics at that rally was even whiter than Vermont.

It's obvious that the AA and POC community are rejecting BS and the BS campaign. BS just doesn't connect with their community... their needs... their concerns. The BS message just isn't resonating. BS just doesn't get it when it comes to AA and POC.

All I'm saying is, with such a humiliating rejection by the AA and POC communities, and without their vote, BS doesn't stand a chance.

primary today, I would vote for:

Keep an eye on the state tallies because this is where the delegate count comes from and will decide our ultimate nominee.

... especially in the majority black city of North Charleston, SC... and in an historically-black church, those in attendance were less ethnically diverse than if they had been flown in from Vermont. AA and POC don't trust what the BS campaign is saying and offering... and BS can't connect.

How humiliating.
