Bernie won NH by 22 points. Hillary won SC by 47 points.

Bernie won 15 delegates to Hillary's 9 in NH, or 167% of Hillary's total.

Hillary won 39 delegates to Bernie's 14 in SC, or 279% of Bernie's total. Her margin of victory was 250% that of Bernie's.

There is only one comparison to be drawn between NH and SC. One was a decisive victory for the state. The other was a decisive victory for the nation.

The media made a big deal out of Bernie winning a big victory in his backyard where he was well known and spent months campaigning while HRC was campaigning nationally--will they be equally effusive about HRC's victory?

I've been hanging with Hillary since the "90s when the Republican house condemned her health care plan, investigated Rose
Law firm, Travelgate.......all the Ken Starr bullshit. She did overcome! 25 years and they still haven't brought her down. Her determination and will alone will defeat Sanders and the Republicans coming against her. I'm with her.
