(6,855 posts)campaigning at a lunch/dinner that had a huge number of African-Americans at it.
Almost all the people there ignored him and were busy eating food.
That's a DNC conspiracy? I don't remember seeing any DNC shills or Debbie Schultz there. Just Sanders campaign people and African-Americans.
Sanders didn't even campaign in SC the final week, well maybe two brief stops. Clinton, even though polls had her about 30 points ahead, still made dozens of stops in SC.
One other thing, that could be pointed to as a mistake by Sanders:
His statement after Nevada about "On to Super Tuesday!", and totally not mentioning South Carolina at all.
Many voters in SC took that as a brush off, especially the minority voters. That's why Clinton won minorities age 17 to 30. The youth vote. That was supposed to be Sanders' strength.
