BLACK VOTE CARRIES ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRAT TO EMPHATIC VICTORY
The experts weren’t even close … nor were the pollsters.
Hillary Clinton – desperately needing a big win over Bernie Sanders – got it in early-voting South Carolina. And then some.
The establishment Democratic – who had underperformed at every step of the 2016 election – shattered expectations in the Palmetto State, using the monolithic support of the state’s black vote to deliver a stunning beatdown of the Jewish socialist from Vermont.
“We stopped the revolution,” one Clinton backer told us.
Another Clintonista suggested a new hashtag for South Carolina Democrats: #NotFeelingTheBern.
Yeah. They were not feeling it … not even a little bit.
With 99 percent of the vote counted, Clinton drew a whopping 73.5 percent of Democratic ballots – compared to 25.9 percent for Sanders.
Her massive margin of victory was far greater than the 14-28 percent margin that state Democratic operatives predicted earlier this week – to say nothing of the 27.5 percent advantage the final RealClearPolitics aggregate data projected.
The size of Clinton’s win in South Carolina could have profound implications on the Democratic race moving forward … namely because exposes Sanders’ inability to attract black voters.
Without them, Democratic candidates are dead in the water.
Of course Clinton’s candidacy could still be kaput given her ongoing email scandal – and the distinct possibility she could be indicated as a result of it.

Trump wants to make it easier for the the press to be sued for libel.Said it today.WTF Will do? LMAO!!!Oh my!!!!
I advocate the legalization of dueling, in the manner of Southern dignity.
Love it! You’re one of the good ones Shifty!
Shifty recommends this excellent book by John Hammond Moore (USC/USC PRESS) —
“Carnival of Blood – Dueling, Lynching and Murder in South Carolina, 1880 – 1920”
(hint: many of your favorite historical figures are in it!)
One of the worst things that ever happened was the end of dueling. That’s been replaced by trolling.
+10
Trolling:
Dueling, in the mind of a chicken shit .
I have said that for all of my adult life. The part in the first sentence, anyway.
“southern dignity” is an oxymoron, fool!
Oh yes, and I’m certain you are the Ms. Manners of dignity!
Someone able no doubt to spot dignity where ever it shows up.
LOL
Yep!
I agree, but the most famous duel was between two New Yorkers – Aaron Burr, and Alex Hamilton (Born on Nevis, BWI).
Andy Jackson was good at duels, also.
The book I recommended has some interesting stories, and the State Museum may still have an exhibit on dueling which included newspaper stories and actual pistols.
Glock17 with +2 magazine allowed? Sorry to say the old peepers aren’t what they used to be. Trigger finger still in great shape though.
HMX free zones are the problem.
Have never shot the HMX. What calibers are they available in?
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/HMX-3D-balls.png/800px-HMX-3D-balls.png
only one caliber – “large.”
Old Hickory never lost one, even against the banks.
“given her ongoing email scandal – and the distinct possibility she could be indicated as a result of it.”
Her presidential pardon has already been signed and locked in Obama’s drawers.
The lack of concern about her legal problems is already self-evident in the MSM and the Obama administration.
Whatever the FBI recommends is probably irrelevant at this point.
After the votes are in that could change, perhaps.
With THAT much paper, wouldn’t that really give a binding feeling…….. what? Too many entendres?
I want to use that — and soon!
That Black lady in the photograph has just finished counting her fingers after she shook hands with Hillary.
“shattered expectations in the Palmetto State, using the monolithic support of the state’s black vote to deliver a stunning beatdown of the Jewish socialist from Vermont.”
Old Bernie should be asking, “Where was McBride today?” HAW-HAW…!!
Good point, and probably a reversal from the election with the shortage of machines. Bet there were more machines than needed in some precincts.
That’s an excellent point…

For the record, Bernie did not buy a single vote in SC’s Dem Primary. Hence the huge margin.
I would agree. A side note, I just met one of my former neighbors who moved South from Vermont. He is going for Bernie — if he makes it.
Probably depends on (let’s all say it together) which way the wind is blowing!!!!!!
Where’s Biblethumper with his prediction of fewer than 300,000 votes cast?
— probably in the church basement still counting paper ballots
I was hanging with Chad.
pretty good answer!
Willie Wilson did better than I thought he would. That’s why the turnout was higher.
http://wach.com/news/local/presidential-hopeful-willie-wilson-frustrated-after-sc-democratic-primary
Thanks for letting us know about this candidate. Actually, I thought he was Hillary’s driver.
Right, exactly 1,317 votes, for 0.36% of the total 368,577 cast statewide. At least he beat O’Malley’s 713!
Willie had door hangers on the counter at a Williamsburg County BBQ joint I patronized Saturday. He got 31 votes there to 4,609 for Hillary.
So much for voter ID suppressing the Black vote.
Probably should not reveal the work-around, but currently registered voters who qualify (e.g. being over 65) may vote absentee by mail even though they do not have an acceptable photo ID.
Actually, it seems to be more of a problem for old people of all races. A week or so ago NC news stations reported on an 86 year old white lady tried to obtain voter ID from the DMV and was turned down. She didn’t have documents from 1950, her marriage license and that she changed her middle name. After her son posted a rant on Facebook, someone in govt caught wind of it and issued her an ID (she had to sign an affidavit in lieu of the documents)
Real situations such as that are a teeny weeny tiny amount of Citizens who should have every possible accommodation to help them. The 20 million+ illegal foreign nationals in this country have no business being here let alone voting. It is insulting to Blacks and anyone with any intelligence to hear the Liberals say voter ID shuts out their votes because they are incapable of registration.
More Republican bull shit. The law was designed to make it difficult for poor people, people without transportation and college students to register. People who have voted for decades have to stand in line for hours, arrange for transportation, and pay the cost of obtaining lost documents, just to do what they have legally done in the past. There is zero evidence of illegal aliens registering to vote. Republican knew this law would disproportionately affect minorities and young people. It is voter suppression pure and simple. Most Repugnuts don’t even bother to lie about it any more. They are proud of it.
But they have the power to make it happen right now, and all those of us who know what they are doing can do is explain it to as many people as possible, so that the affected people know what was done to them so they will become mad as hell and make sure they run the GOP gauntlet and vote.
The Republicans openly admit they pursue that stuff to stifle minority voters. In this video they have a clip where a guy comes right out and says they cut into 5% of Obama’s votes, thank goodness it didn’t change the results of the overall election though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHFOwlMCdto
Ha! Still less than half of the Republican votes.
In a red state, you really surprised?
Wonder if Bernie will blame it on a video or maybe he wishes he could tap into that vast right wing conspiracy.
Damn, will Hillary give me all the free stuff like Bernie was going to do?
how is it that the white countries in Europe give their people the very things that Bernie promises?
Maybe those “white countries in Europe” might be a good place for socialist to live. “white countries”???
maybe they’re not really “white?”
Maybe they’re not real.
I’ve been saying all along reality is a liberal hoax.
Establishment Democrats can always count on the plantation slaves.
Wow people in South Carolina are dumb. First Trump, and now Clinton! You must all think you’re in the 1%? You like perpetual war? Clinton is close friends with and takes advice from war criminal Henry Kissinger. She’s been endorsed by neocon Robert Kagan and takes advice from him (the same Robert Kagan who along with Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz and other warmongers of “The Project for a New American Century” designed George W. Bush’s foreign policy disasters). Kagan endorsed Hillary because he believes she’ll do more of the same – more war. Economically, she’ll throw some scraps to the majority of ordinary people after her millionaire and billionaire friends and funders have gorged themselves, but she doesn’t really care about you – you’ll see. She’s been caught in lie after lie after lie, and she’s so unprincipled she changes positions for political expediency and makes different promises to different audiences based on her calculations of what each audience wants to hear. Were you people even paying attention? Oh Lord, wtf were you morons thinking?!
interesting points …
There are a couple of interesting points. His first and last sentence, why even try to convey information to someone you think are dumb and morons. Unless of course Randy is trying to make himself fell superior.
It is always good to hear the Dennmarks and Randys to know how other people process their thoughts. I haven’t really ever heard before that Goldwater was racist so now I have a little research to do. Seems Randy’s POV can be found pretty easy.
Senator Goldwater:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve7g_ibjh3c
Well I certainly won’t takeaway Malcolm’s feelings on Goldwater. Of course, he would be pilloried today for suggesting Liberals are liars and that Negros needed to learn to take care of themselves.
When I give an “up” vote on some posts it’s not because I agree/support/understand the entire post — but it may be only for the effort and some reasonableness (to me) in the post. The first few years of Fitsnews there were a hell of a lot of “down” votes but I rarely see them now — I just ignore them.
idcydm, I know calling people dumb is judgmental and harsh, when what I really mean is people are choosing to remain willfully ignorant when enough information is available to make more informed choices if you make even a minimal effort. But more and more people seem to have become allergic to mental effort. I don’t have much patience for willful ignorance and lack of effort.
Those voters are wise enough to know there is no revolution coming, or at least the kind Bernie is promising. They live in a red state and in a country controlled by a Republican Congress.
That’s not wisdom. That’s giving up, sitting on their hands except to drop a ballot now and then, and then go back to sitting on their hands and let someone else do the work. Once upon a time our ancestors lived in a country controlled by the Red Coats of the British Empire. My paternal ancestors arrived here in the 17th century, and I’m glad their descendants in the 18th century had a different kind of wisdom from that you speak of. Of course, Bernie is speaking of a NONviolent POLITICAL revolution, and he says over and over that it will take all of us to achieve if we want it, but it will take much more effort than it seems most people are willing to give currently.
During the peak of African captivity in SC, Blacks outnumbered Whites 7 to 1, yet there were no successful revolts. Many historians claim & logic supports the theory that had the numbers been reversed a mass revolution would have immediate freed those in chains. Today’s status quo corroborates this proposition that something is seriously deficient with the “Black Mind.” Personally, being Black, I think they are suffering from the Stockholm Syndrome, or capture -bonding, a psychological phenomena in which hostages bond with their captors. It seem that the present population of African captives have fallen in love with their oppressors. Here Hillary Clinton in 1996 propounds that she is still a “Barry Goldwater girl.” He was one of the Senate’s most virulent racist who voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sJ8PWmrUDw
interesting analysis …..
I think all this so called analysis misses the point for two reasons: 1. The Democratic nominee has ZERO chance of carrying this state in the general election. Who wins California, Florida, Ohio or New York is what matters if you are a Democrat, not South Carolina. 2. Turnout in the Democratic primary was maybe 20% of those who turned out for the Republican primary. So, for Clinton to claim a mandate from the results is like me claiming I won the lottery when my ticket is only worth $1.
You are correct about Hillary’s November chances in SC. What is significant is that she stomped Bernie 3 to 1 yesterday, bringing her closer to being on the November ballot nationwide.
Just as a FYI, 745,405 voted in the Republican primary a week ago, 370,719 voted yesterday in the Democratic primary, so your “maybe 20%” is a little off. Since SC voters are not registered by party, anyone can vote in either primary, but not both.
I’m no fan of Sec. Clinton and can’t envision actually voting for her. That said, if Trump is our nominee, I’m going to enjoy watching her and the D’s slice his crazy ass into little pieces for four months. He has no idea what it’s like to reap the whirlwind. If you think he’s a babbling fool now, wait ’til they focus on him.
We shall see this CNN interview used by the Clinton Machine. This is today, not 20 years ago.
Washington (CNN)Donald Trump wouldn’t disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke’s support for his presidential bid, saying Sunday that he knows nothing about the white supremacist leader.
From a parody twitter account called ilduce2016, Trump retweeted a Mussolini quote and stood by it on Meet the Press interview with Chuck Todd. The Twitter account has a picture of Mussolini with Trump hair.
He even lies about not knowing David Duke when it is print. In a 2000 NYT he talks about David Duke – this was when Donald was flirting with a Reform Party run. LOL, at him claiming he knows nothing about the KKK. Guess we shall see what a blow out black voter turn out looks like this fall.
OK, I just found that story and it was a Gawker plant. Trump’s Wharton education must not have included spelling, American history or world history.
Are all you good liberal swpls feeling disenfranchised yet? You can cater to blacks all you want and they will still hate you.
speak for yourself.
Would never vote for Hillary but she would be better than Trump.

Don’t blame me, I voted for Bernie! LMAO!!!
Damn… just damn.
