Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) didn’t sugarcoat things Sunday morning when discussing the results of Saturday night’s Democratic primary in SC, where Hillary Clinton defeated him by a margin of 73 percent to 26 percent.

Clinton has an overwhelming lead over Sanders among Democratic superdelegates like Grayson, who are free to vote for any candidate at the convention. Sanders’ Durham campaign office opening comes two weeks after a Clinton office opened in downtown Raleigh and just one day after a campaign office for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump opened in Fayetteville.
Massachusetts, one of five states outside of the South to vote on Super Tuesday, may be the state to watch.
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn also told CNN: “We can’t have a nominee be an albatross around the down-ballot races”.
After Hillary Clinton’s 6-point win in Nevada and the embarrassing 48-point win in SC on Saturday, Sanders is struggling, but is still attempting to regain momentum. “Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again”, she said as she took aim at Mr Trump’s slogan. He had won a “decisive victory” in New Hampshire while Clinton had done the same in SC.
The rout of Sanders solidified Clinton’s status as the strong front-runner to capture the party’s nomination for the November 8 election in her quest to become America’s first woman president.
On the Republican side, Donald Trump has a dominant lead in opinion polls in almost every state but Texas.
“We do need to make America whole again, instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers”, Hillary Clinton said. To win, 2,383 delegates are needed to win out of the 4,189 total delegates.
She will also be at the Old South Meeting House in Boston’s Downtown Crossing at 12:15 p.m. Doors open at 10:45 a.m. for that event, Clinton’s campaign said.
But for South Carolina’s democratic voters, there was very little question.

“We got decimated”, he said on ABC’s This Week. We will win because community trumps selfishness. He is polling second, ahead of Cruz, in Georgia and Virginia, two of the Super Tuesday states, but is not expected to change the race now or in the coming week.
