As Wyeth Ruthven points out on Twitter:
"So when you say millennials love Bernie, you mean white millennials."

He lost the black millennial vote in SC 58-42. Yes, that's better than he did overall-he lost the black vote overall 87-13 and lost the over 65 AA vote 96-3, if you can believe it, but even so 58-42 is a very comfortable margin and it's rather jarring how different this was than among white millennials whom Bernie wins with 80 percent support.
There is just nowhere to spin SC for Bernie. When he lost Nevada he pointed out that a year ago he trailed by 50 points, that in Iowa he trailed by 50 a year ago and he tied, and he trailed by 50 in NH and won by 22.
Now in SC he actually lost by 50 when some polls just a few weeks ago showed him within 20 points.
"A bruising, 48-point loss to Hillary Clinton in South Carolina Saturday night dramatically narrowed the path forward for Bernie Sanders, raising serious doubts about his ability to win the delegates needed to secure the Democratic nomination."
"South Carolina will widen Clinton’s delegate lead, currently at one after her Nevada win. But more significant, the contest here demonstrated that the Vermont senator has failed to make any headway at all with African-American voters in the South – even with 200 paid Sanders staffers on the ground and nearly $2 million in television spending, Clinton swept the black vote by a five-to-one ratio, according to exit polls. Among black voters 65 and over, Clinton won by a stunning 96 to 3 percent."

P.S. Great line by Harry Enten:
"Voters in South Carolina were apparently bought off by "the corporations".
