13369577, Sanders is polling strongly with AA voters nationally
Posted by Vex_id, Sat Feb-29-20 10:42 PM
He got 30% of the AA vote in Nevada. The AA vote is not monolithic as you well know. S.C. is about as conservative as it gets - and the Dem electorate there (and in many parts of the Deep South) features some of the least progressive Democratic voters in the country.

Let's see how Sanders performs on Super Tuesday -- that will be far more representative than just looking at S.C. in a vacuum.

>you honestly think he feels good about this showing?

I think Sanders feels very good after the first 4 contests. He's winning the race and is the clear front-runner with the most enthusiasm behind him. He was never supposed to win S.C. - this wasn't a surprise. In fact, Biden was up by 50 points in S.C. for the better part of the last year. The onus is on Biden to prove that he can gain broader support across the country. Sanders has already proven that.
