Black vote Mr Clyburn’s support will help her with black voters who dominate the Democratic primary in SC and have already given her a massive 24-point average lead over Mr Sanders in the state.

The economy is one of the main issues for voters in Nevada as the state was hit hard by the nation’s financial crisis. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) loyalists will go to nearly any length to ensure their candidates gain the upper hand in Saturday’s vote-count.
Some of Ms Clinton’s most important Latino backers raised questions about Mr Sanders’ advocacy for immigrants, saying the Vermont senator repeatedly voted against immigration legislation.
“The imprisonment stuff stems back to him: the breaking up of the welfare system stems back to him, which caused a lot of misery, the trade deals”, Sanders said, mentioning the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Former Secretary Clinton has been in hot water lately over her history of taking large speaking fees, namely from Wall Street firms. “That’s why I want to get this nomination as quickly as possible so I can get to work on being your president”.
Biden said Clinton and Sanders are “basically on the same page, with different emphasis” on most issues. I smell something much more pungent from the Clinton campaign: “fear”. He’s predicting superdelegates won’t play a role, because Clinton will overtake Sanders soon. “If Congress does not act, I will continue to the President’s, President Obama’s efforts to use executive powers”. While Hillary Clinton eked out a win in Iowa, Bernie Sanders smashed her by more than 20 points in New Hampshire.
Today, the Culinary Union has refused to endorse either Clinton or Sanders. Mr. Sanders has added just 11 superdelegate endorsements.
In his short remarks at a field office, Clinton also criticized Sanders for what he called dismissing critics as “shields of Hillary or part of the establishment”, instead suggesting Sanders doesn’t accept the political realities.
Although Clinton has been described as having a “firewall” in the South she will have to fight to maintain it, because a recent Fox News poll indicates that although Clinton maintains a lead in SC, she has fallen behind Sanders for the first time nationally.
“No-but I’m going to make my views known, and hopefully it will impact the nature of the debate within the Democratic Party”, he said.
“I’m a strong supporter of Hillary”, Schaffer said, “and I don’t see anything wrong with coming out and saying that”.
“It’s a systematic thing, and we need to look at whether or not the Democratic Party is as democratic as we can be in terms of the rules”, he says.
