It's What Bernie Doesn't Say That Says it all About What to Expect in SC

Hillary has the win today-we will know about this very soon after the six o'clock hour I'm guessing.

She will win and it won't be close. It will likely be a win of 20 points-or perhaps more based on recent polls.

But you don't have to look any further than what Bernie is not saying to know what we have here.

"South Carolina is holding its Democratic primary today, but you wouldn’t know it just by listening to Bernie Sanders.

Jetting off to Austin from Columbia, S.C. this morning — before stops in Dallas and Rochester, Minnesota — Sanders made no reference to the state voting today during his early afternoon rally at a Formula One racetrack here."

“We were more than 30 points down in Iowa and it was a virtual tie. We were 30 points down in New Hampshire and we won. We were 25 points down in Nevada and we came within five points,” said Sanders to a crowd of over 10,000, while voters were going to the polls back in South Carolina. “And now we move on to Super Tuesday."

"Sanders has bristled at the implication that he’s written off the state entirely, but Hillary Clinton is expected to win there by a wide margin."

"The Vermont senator spent much of the last week in March-voting states where he thinks he has a chance to rack up strategically important delegate hauls, including Michigan, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. Toward the beginning of his outdoor Austin event, he reminded the crowd that Texas is the biggest delegate prize of all on March 1."

He's not going to come close in Texas either judging by recent polls there.

She has over a 26 point average lead with some poll showing it as much as 40 points. He won't win a single Southern state. He's hoping to win Massachusetts-he will win Vermont, obviously.

But even here it's basically a jump ball.

For all the Southern states, Hillary fans should apply what Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said to Hillary regarding Georgia: Worry about something else cause she's going to win Georgia.

I was just struck by a reporter in SC who noted that many of the AA folks in SC feel that they even owe Hillary. Their words not mine after she has had Obama's back the last eight years.

This is why Bernie never had a chance. To vote for him would be a slap in Obama's eye. It was never in the cards.
