With Bernie all but abandoning South Carolina

jimfinn ?@jimfinn

Hillary campaigning every day in New Hampshire to take a 20-point beatdown is looking badass to me in retrospect.

Bernie is doing an event in Columbia, SC tomorrow. That will be 4 of the last 6 days he has had events in South Carolina.

Keep that Clinton spin machine going.

that Bernie had given up on Texas, too.

It's a pretty darn transparent trick, and isn't worthy of the OP.

The guy who lived in a tenement to live amongst the people he represented has turned into a corporate shill just like the candidate he's now stumping for.

...everyone knows pulling out of the air war in such a large state is essentially an abandonment of the SC vote.

These token events are good for weak rebuttals like yours, but most people know Bernie isn't fighting for SC.

...it's a good reflection of their strong support for their candidate, and also a good measure of the impact of my own advocacy.

But Hillary won't blow it out either, because of her Macaca moment yesterday.

I expect a single digit loss for Bernie, and that is a HUGE loss for Clinton. Her projection will just be further delayed, with worse news coming from a complete reversal of her Super Tuesday projected victories, which will turn out be either narrow losses or narrow wins for Clinton. Bernie will come out ahead by March 15th in terms of standing and favorable primary schedules.

...would provide a clear picture for folks about her true support for black lives, but if you want to focus on a campaign stunt by a Bernie supporter I say go for it.

That's as good as anything Sanders is doing in SC.

It's highly doubtful that Bernie will have a single digit loss in SC.
