Clinton wins in SC

O n Saturday, Hillary Clinton won a large victory in the SC primary, taking over 73% of the total votes cast and winning 43 of the state’s 59 delegates.

 Ms. Clinton’s victory in SC is likely to be replicated in other Southern States voting on Tuesday, where black voters represent an above-average share of Democratic voters: Alabama, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Georgia.

Voters in the four states to hold 2016 presidential primaries and caucuses thus far have handed out just a fraction of the delegates it takes to win the Democratic and Republican nominations.

Hillary Clinton goes into Super Tuesday with a 26-pledged-delegate lead (91-65) over Vermont Sen.

Clinton made her oft used called for “love and kindness” at the two church stops, but did so with a more political bent by subtly knocking Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, in front of the primarily black audiences. Remarkably, this trend does not make much sense considering that SC has one of the highest rates of fewer wealthy African American voters.

Some Clinton backers, emboldened by the heightened chance of a Trump nomination, have reaffirmed their support for the former secretary of state, saying that it is she, not Sanders, who is best equipped to take down Trump in a head-to-head showdown in November.

Sanders vowed to fight on, expressing confidence that he would notch some victories and win delegates on Tuesday.

The result in SC establishes Mrs Clinton’s strength among black voters, a crucial Democratic constituency who make up more than half the party’s primary electorate in SC. She lost to Mr Sanders in New Hampshire. It’s worth noticing that, according to recent exit polls, Hillary outperformed him with an 86 percent confronted with Sander’s 14 percent.

Saturday, Clinton received about 75 percent of the votes in the SC primary election. “Some states like MA we are not confident that we can win”. “Although, historically the young vote proves hard for most candidates to count on turning out in needle-moving numbers”.

But Mrs Clinton and her supporters were elated, describing SC as a turning point in the campaign.

“In politics, on a given night, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose”.
