Exit polls in Dems SC Primary: 80% say economy favors the wealthy. 18% say economy is fair to most.

[Matariki]

And yet they vote for the Goldman Girl

[virtualobserver]

1. what they are saying is that they like it that way

[Matariki]

3. LOL - yeah that's probably it

Along with fracking, war, and private prisons. Go us.

[virtualobserver]

10. they might think that the money that Hillary gets from Goldman Sachs will trickle down

[JonLeibowitz]

15. Perhaps they are voting in the wrong primary?

[virtualobserver]

26. not really, because it is important for both nominees to favor the wealthy

[Avalux]

12. Stockholm syndrome en masse. n/t

[LexVegas]

2. Reap the result of attacking civil rights icons and African American voters. nt

[TM99]

7. 76 to 60 is the delegate count.

So hold on to your crowing just a little while longer. You might regret what you are about to say.

[Matariki]

9. This is just the 4th state in. I'd hold off on the gloating

if I were you. But whatevers.

[HooptieWagon]

23. It's expected from them.

When Sanders captured the NH primary, there wasn't any gloating. The other side acts like Young Republicans.

[TM99]

4. It doesn't matter your race, gender or orientation

most Americans are snookered daily by the media. I am not in the least bit surprised.

[PeaceNikki]

5. What's a "Goldman Girl"

[truedelphi]

17. A person who gives speeches in front of Goldman Sachs for big huge amounts of money and then

Like a young girl says: "Whatever did I do wrong? They offer me money! Lots and lots of money, and of course, I don't do anything in return!"

[PeaceNikki]

20. Aaaah. I see. I am not up to date on the latest shitty names to call Democrats.

[truedelphi]

24. Well I certainly did not tell her to abandon her morals and

Pander to the Elite. She did that on her own.

And what names she does or doesn't get called doesn't concern me, either. What does concern me is that ever since the Democratic Party Leadership moved so far to the right that it is not recognizable, the Middle Class has been in very bad shape.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. It reminds me of when white, working class, southerners vote Republican...

....It makes no sense, but there is no fixing it.

[WillyT]

11. Yep... Apparently It's Not Just Republicans Who Vote Against Their Own Interests...

[moondust]

8. More of the same! More of the same!

More of the same!

(I guess they like it.)

[anotherproletariat]

13. If you've been listening, both "Democratic" candidates have pledged to fight income inequality

The Hillary supporters I know think she has the best shot at actually getting into office and making it happen.

[Matariki]

14. I'll believe that after Clinton releases the transcripts of her speeches to Goldman Sachs

until then it's lip service from her.

[TDale313]

18. Until she gets the nomination and races rightward again.

If Bernie hadn't entered the race the words "wealth inequality" would never have passed her lips. I'm sorry, there are areas I like and trust her on. Standing up to the monied interests isn't one of them.

[renate]

34. I agree on both points--I like and trust her her on many topics too

But she would be giving a different speech if it weren't for Bernie. This isn't a negative post about Hillary--she can't make everything her top priority--but I do think there's a difference between a candidate who has been talking about social and economic inequality for his entire life and a candidate who has been made to realize (thanks to the former) that income inequality is a topic that people want to hear about.

I don't doubt that she now understands what's gotten Bernie's supporters so excited, but yeah, I don't think she'd be talking the way she is now if it weren't for him.

I just hope (and believe) that if she's the nominee she'll continue to care. She's smart--she's a quick learner.

[truedelphi]

21. Some of us voters look into what her actual policies happened to have been -

And really could care less what her current platform happens to be.

[HooptieWagon]

25. Then there'll be a good bit of buyers remorse.

[gwheezie]

16. Boy, how bad is Bernie then

That these dopes didn't see the light. What the heck is wrong with Bernie that he couldn't get them to vote for him.

[MaggieD]

19. Maybe that should tell you a lot of people....

.... don't have an irrational hatred of her like some folks do. Please remember lots of people like her. I know plenty of people that can't wait to vote for her.

[truedelphi]

22. And a lot of people work long hours at WalMart for little pay, because it gives

Them a sense of community.

A lot of people think the economy collapsed because of all the poor people who forced the mortgage brokers and Big Time Bankers to sell them a home beyond their means.

A lot of people even believed the lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction, until it was their son or daughter who came home in a box.

However to win in the General Election, what will be important is how many cross over voters Hillary Clinton can get. And she doesn't poll that well with the 40% of all voters who do not align themselves with either of the two Big Parties.

[Politicalboi]

30. Irrational hate is what she does

NOT us. You guys just don't see it yet.

[MaggieD]

32. Apparently neither do all his coworkers in the Senate

Since zero have endorsed him, while 40 have endorsed her. He appears to be the one less liked by the people that know him.

[Robbins]

27. proof again voters can be stupid

they support the top 1% candiate and buy her talk which come fall she will forget about.

no hope for democratic party.

[desmiller]

28. *smmfh*

listening to her now.

[Politicalboi]

29. It does boggle the mind

Hopefully they'll wake up soon.

[Broward]

31. Wow, there's a major disconnect there.

[Merryland]

33. And they voted to continue helping the rich get richer. Unfreakingbelievable.
