15. I'm not taking the advice of South Carolina Democrats. They haven't won a single statewide election.

South Carolina Democratic voters are political losers. They probably sabotage their best politicians for not being neoliberal enough.

They have elected exactly zero statewide Democrats. They have 6 Republicans in the U.S. House and Clyburn is the *only* Democratic Representative.

Their state legislature is either Super Majority or near-Super Majority Republican.

Sanders is scared shitless of diverse electorates. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #1
Please justify this (as yet) baseless and unsubstantiated assertion. Thanks! JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #3
See results on Tuesday. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #4
That still wouldn't prove that he is personally afraid of them. So you have nothing. n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #6
See historic African American margin in SC and where Sanders is right now. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #7
That means he is campaigning strategically, not "scared shitless". JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #9

AH.... Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #16
No that's not true about West Virginia or Oklahoma. There are statewide Democrats in both. (nt) w4rma Feb 2016 #18
You missed my point. The argument is that those states will vote Republican in the GENERAL! Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #20
Sanders brings West Virginia back into play. Clinton loses it, completely. (nt) w4rma Feb 2016 #21
I don't agree with you but I do respect your position. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #23
No way WV is Republican all the way now (COAL) n/t doc03 Feb 2016 #29

People said the same about Barack Obama in 2008 when he was winning these same Red states. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #25
Like SC, which last voted D in a GE in 1976? hobbit709 Feb 2016 #24
Again, the same happened to Obama in 2008 when he was winning Red states in the primaries. Liberal_Stalwart71 Feb 2016 #26
thanks for posting mgmaggiemg Feb 2016 #27
Yes but southern and western state votes are totally meaningless in the presidential election doc03 Feb 2016 #28
