Huffmon said it was clear that SC Democrats see Clinton as the most electable candidates, adding a strong showing by Sanders in other early primary states could change their views over the course of the next several months.

Now, Sanders appears to be trying to correct that record.
Tad Devine, Sanders’ top strategist, said there is “absolutely” no plan for Sanders to start going after Clinton on emails and that his comments to the Wall Street Journal were not new. Bernie Sanders has made the decision that it would be foolish for him to get on the wrong side of a FBI investigation, and that it, indeed, it wouldn’t be “great politics” if he let this scandal go unexamined or didn’t tale it seriously as an indictment of Hillary’s trustworthiness as a leader.
What Sanders, who comes from the sportsmen-friendly state of Vermont, originally said was that, ‘As a senator from a rural state, what I can tell Secretary Clinton, [is] that all the shouting in the world is not going to do what I would hope all of us want, and that is keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have those guns and end this disgusting violence that we are seeing’.
His speech last month in Iowa during the party dinner included a series of sharp contrasts with Clinton on issues important to the Democratic base, such as the Keystone XL pipeline, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, gay marriage and the Iraq war.
The question was not whether Hillary Clinton would support an increase in the minimum wage, but what dollar amount the Democratic candidate would recommend for the hourly minimum. This is because he is “just not yet well-known” in the community, Sanders said.
“You know, I know you hear this from people like me who are running for office, but I really don’t pay attention to the polls”, Clinton said when asked about recent polls showing double-digit leads – as much as 41 percentage points, in one case – over Vermont Sen. Clinton says in the ad, calling for universal background checks and closing the gun show loophole.
“How many people have to die before we actually act?” Well, it turns out Sanders didnt mean that to suggest he doesnt think theres anything worth investigating.
A day after Bernie Sanders said that rival Hillary Clinton’s email practices raise “valid questions”, the Clinton campaign fired back that Sanders and his team were engaging “in the type of personal attacks that they previously said he wouldn’t do”.
While there’s room for debate among the leading Democratic candidates, almost every Republican presidential hopeful opposes any increase whatsoever.

Compare all this to where Clinton stands on guns today – she recently even said we should take a look at Australian-style mandatory gun confiscation.
