This is a good read if you feel like reading. It's about what happened tonight in SC &

why Hillary connects so well with the black voters there.

It's not insulting to Bernie, there is no finger pointing, just an interesting explanation of Hillary's ties to SC & why she trounced over Bernie tonite. It might actually make you feel a little better about the loss, it did that for me.

A couple of excerpts...

Clinton’s presence in South Carolina began long before that day. Bill Clinton won the Palmetto State primaries in 1992 and 1996, which allowed Hillary Clinton to build relationships in the state and get to know its politics and leading personages. In fact, Clinton’s ties in the state predate her husband’s presidential bid. Clay Middleton, a native South Carolinian who served as state director of Clinton’s campaign, noted she first came into the state during the 1970s, while working as a young lawyer with the Children’s Defense Fund. And as first lady of Arkansas, Clinton co-chaired a task force on infant mortality with former South Carolina Gov. Richard Riley.

“I don’t think Hillary’s ever been off the ground except for the little while when there was a tiff after the ’08 primary. She has stayed in touch with the community. She started laying groundwork for this run, oh, probably three or four years ago. She’s had people circulating. … She’s talked to the right folks,” Darby said, adding, “I don’t think South Carolina ever entirely left the Clintons. It might have parked them in the corner for one election, but they’ve maintained good relationships.”

In contrast, a source said the Sanders campaign did not begin to establish a large presence in the state until last September.

But in South Carolina, many black voters clearly resisted Sanders’ “political revolution.” While Sanders’ promise to take on the political establishment has helped fuel his challenge to Clinton in other parts of the country, that outsider status may have actually hurt him in South Carolina’s African-American community.

JA Moore is a 30-year-old African-American South Carolina native who serves as vice chair of the Charleston County Democratic Party. As of Wednesday, Moore said he had not decided how he will vote in the primary. But in Charleston, where he moved a little over a decade ago, Moore says he is still viewed as an outsider.

“Me not being from Charleston, they call me a ‘come ya,’ and people that are from here, they call them a ‘been ya,’” Moore said, using phrases from the local Geechee dialect. “I think a lot of times people look at Secretary Clinton as someone that’s been here before. They’ve seen her, they recognize her, they have a certain level of comfort with her because they know her. … I think with Sen. Sanders, he’s a ‘come ya.’”

1. Actually it just makes me think

Less of them while confirming my opinion.

2. That was a good read Jillian

It appears the people of SC vote for things like making someone the first black president, or making someone the first woman president or because someone is familiar to them, but it doesn't appear they pay too much attention to policy and principles. That's sad.

3. Close knit communities. Hillary has been working on them for decades.

Bernie just came to town.

4. Exactly,

and that explains a lot. I still can't understand it, but I suppose sticking together behind something or someone could be good for the community when the dust settles.
