“We are going to compete for every vote in every state”, Clinton said on Saturday night. “We are not taking anything for granted!” Sanders is hoping to stay close to Clinton in the South while focusing most of his attention on states in the Midwest and Northeast, including his home state of Vermont. “We need to show by everything we do that we really are in this together”.
“People have to be responsible for their actions in the past”, Nance said, “and even though we can move forward, I feel like there’s a lot of stuff that’s kind of messy in this election and I remember that from before, back in 2008, when she was running against Obama”. “I don’t know what our founders, some of those early patriots, would think about what we’re up against today”.
Preparing for the biggest delegate haul of the campaign, Hillary Clinton is trying to leave Bernie Sanders with little room to operate and douse the flames behind his once insurgent campaign. Instead of remaining in the Palmetto State to wait for results, Sanders opted instead to turn his eye toward Super Tuesday states voting March 1.
Speaking in Minnesota Saturday night, he tried to energize his supporters: “Football is a spectator sport”. And the vast majority of those voters – 84% – backed Clinton, according to exit polls. We won a decisive victory in New Hampshire.
Clinton will watch returns on Super Tuesday in Miami, Florida, a state that doesn’t vote until March 15.
“In just three days, Democrats in 11 states will pick 10 times more pledged delegates on one day than were selected in the four early states so far in this campaign”, he continued. “Our grass-roots political revolution is growing state by state, and we won’t stop now”.
“In terms of air passenger rights, we are very much behind the rest of the world”, said Lukacs. “I congratulate Secretary Clinton on her very strong victory”. With 53 delegates at stake, Clinton will receive 39, Sanders at least 14.
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are poised to leap ahead of their competition in the Democratic and Republican primaries on the road toward their respective parties’ presidential nominations. Clinton has mentioned Sanders less and less in recent days and in her victory speech targeted Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner.
In Aiken County, Clinton received 6,888, or 70.2 percent of the vote. The previous high was 55 percent, set in 2008, when the first black president was on his way to being elected. But in her stump and issue-specific speeches, Clinton has referred to ways by which issues, such as Voter ID laws, gun violence, criminal justice reform, gender wage imbalances and the long unchanged minimum wage, directly and even more deeply shape and distort the lives of black and Latino Americans.
Clinton and Sanders continue to fight over who won the Hispanic vote in Nevada. Iowa and New Hampshire exert their influence primarily as magnets for the media in the months before the voting begins.
To underscore her support on issues important to African-Americans, Clinton highlighted the role that five mothers of black victims of gun violence who campaigned alongside her in SC.
“I think they all have points that I like and that I dislike”, Howard said of the presidential candidates. He also carried those who identified themselves as independent and most white voters.
Allies of the former secretary of state, unaffiliated Democratic strategists and the national party are stockpiling potential ammunition about Trump, reviewing reams of court filings, requesting information about his business dealings from state governments and conducting new polls to test lines of attack. Just over 365,000 voters came out Saturday, compared to 532,151 eight years ago.
