(84,711 posts)Let's not let SC throw us off our Path to The Revolution! We all knew that was not a State that Bernie could win and that his strength is in the follow to Super Tuesday.
Voting tallies showed that Democratic vote was almost half of the Repub vote a week ago for Trump. Dems didn't bother to vote or the state is just all Repub, at this time. You can't make a Southern Repub vote Dem in the hard core South, it seems.
Dems: 369,240,000 Votes VS. Republicans 737,917 votes
