Corn Pop FrankenBiden lives! did everyone .. well some .. in their bash fest of Evil Lord Trump forget the South Carolina primary was today?
is this the beginning of the end for the Bernie Bro movement? maybe. if it was Trump the leftanista press would be saying so. like they did every day in 2016 right up until he clinched the nomination in a walk off home run vote. exactly what the DemonTards need .. but probably won't get. instead they'll get a clusterfuck.
Biden scores a victory in South Carolina, AP projects

Vice President Joe Biden notched his first victory of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary on Saturday with a win in South Carolina, which his campaign hopes will halt the momentum of Sen. Bernie Sanders and reset the race heading into Super Tuesday.
The Associated Press declared Biden the winner shortly after polls closed in the state at 7 p.m. ET. Sanders, the AP projected, would finish in second place in South Carolina.
Biden drew robust support from African-Americans in South Carolina, who make up nearly 60 percent of the state’s Democratic electorate. Sanders has worked hard to build alliances with African-Americans after being trounced by Hillary Clinton in South Carolina in 2016. However, the best-known black politician in the state, Rep. James Clyburn, endorsed Biden.
After a strong second-place showing in Nevada’s caucuses, Biden promised during a Tuesday debate in Charleston that he would prevail in South Carolina.
“I will win South Carolina,” Biden said.
The state awards 54 pledged delegates on a proportional basis, and Biden will take the majority based on the final percentage of the vote he receives. Before Saturday’s vote, Sanders was leading the field with 45 delegates. Pete Buttigieg had earned 26, while Biden had 15.
Biden will need to continue to build on his momentum on Super Tuesday, especially in Southern states like Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. These have a more conservative electorate than places like California, Colorado and Massachusetts, which would seem to favor Sanders.
Another state where Biden could do well next Tuesday is Virginia, and shortly after Biden was declared the winner in South Carolina, the state’s former governor, Terry McAuliffe, endorsed him and called on Democratic candidates Tom Steyer, Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg to drop out of the race. McAuliffe said Michael Bloomberg should also “take a look” at dropping out.
Bloomerpuddin' wasn't even on the ballot. he's not dropping out yet .. he'll wait till after Super Tuesday
That sentiment was echoed by Biden press secretary TJ Ducklo.
“If you are a candidate and you have not shown that you can get traction with the core of the Democratic Party, with African American voters, then you have to take a hard look at your path and what your goals are,” Ducklo said Saturday.
