The younger generation is clearly more in tune with the message of dramatic change espoused by Sanders, in addition to the SC vote, he won 83% of young people in New Hampshire and 84% in Iowa.

I hereby endorse Bernie Sanders to be our Democratic nominee for President of the United States. The truth is that Sanders can still win enough delegates from future states to clinch the nomination, but would have to defy poll numbers that show growing support nationwide for Clinton.
But for all the talk about a Sanders-Clinton divide, Senator Sanders has done a service for this country by bringing issues that matter to people to the forefront.
Mr Sanders, expecting defeat, left the state before voting was finished and turned his attention to some of the states that vote in this week’s delegate-rich contests.
“Happy birthday to Hillary Clinton, who turned 68 today”.
In Boston, Hillary Clinton appeared at the Old South Meeting House for a 30-minute speech, where she twice referenced an “esteemed opponent” with whom she disagrees with on free college education and guns. Eleven states, including six in the South with large minority populations where polls show Clinton with big leads, will vote on Super Tuesday and four more over the next weekend. They found Clinton with a commanding lead, garnering 56 percent support.
On Tuesday, 12 states and territories will take part in “Super Tuesday” votes. Clinton carried white women 18 points, while Sanders won white men by 14 points.
New Zealand is definitely feeling the Bern, handing a 54 percentage point win to the Senator from Vermont.
Mr. Sanders a self-described democratic socialist seeking to launch a “political revolution” in America, was already looking past SC. Mr Sander’s path to the nomination, even if he does well in non-Southern states voting now – Colorado, Minnesota, Massachusetts and his home state of Vermont – will be all but non-existent. It’s this factor that will not only make him president, but also help Democratic candidates up and down the ballot. But on the Republican side, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson is likely to drop out, barring an unexpected surge in his vote. “So, I want to do everything I can in this campaign to set us on a different course”.

There is a slight caveat: The State Department will release a final batch of 4,000 pages of Clinton emails on Monday, one day before March 1.
