Columbia, South Carolina (CNN)A whopping 71% of likely Democratic primary voters in South Carolina are leaning towards voting for Hillary Clinton, according to a new poll out on Wednesday from Winthrop University. Bernie Sanders takes 15% of the vote, while Martin O'Malley earns just 2%.

Clinton's support is even stronger in the African-American community, where she sweeps with 80% support among likely voters.

solidly on her side, especially in the south.

Bernie is toast, no way in hell is he going to win the nomination if these poll numbers Hillary has been pulling stay steady.

immediately upon hearing he thought some random Black guy (Cornell West) was going to help his campaign...assuming like republicans that Black people wouldn't know the difference!

West was once revered as a thought leader, he is now summarily dismissed as an unhinged bitter old joke. He's still highly popular in some quarters, just not the ones where he can make a single bit of difference.

not want to hear from those two, and if this poll is any indication, they still don't.

natural candidate this country has seen since Lincoln. Sander's power comes from the far left wing of the party (and out of the party) that makes up his supporters. Everyone else just thinks he is a guy that flaps his arms and yells.

But if you actually believe that Bernie Sander's trajectory will mimic President Obama's I have a bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you!

That's fine with me. Obama's mistake was to believe that the other side would play fair and he squandered much of his political advantage trying to make sense and bring both sides together.

I am interested in electing a president who knows how to deal with the republican party and the men who control it and can beat them. I have no interest what so ever in someone who has spent his life in the ivory tower of Vermont politics and has never even had the balls to take a side.

I know for sure that his supporters aren't going to do shit for me or anyone else. They just want to shit all over the internet and gather at rallies to listen to the same speech over and over again. They aren't going to storm the bastions of D.C. or even vote during mid term elections.

You get things done with power and a strong coalition, not a bunch of millennials touting unrealistic ideologies.

I'm not surprised that you want to snark my candidate. I'm just a little disgusted that you feel free to do it in a private forum. Is this an invitation for us to go to Bernie Land and do the same????

was "squandered". That's Bernie's line.

But I do know that Hillary knows how to get it done from the get-go.

Obama and Hillary both get things done. Bernie talks a lot.

trajectory. Suffice it to say, BS is no Barack Obama. There's nothing aspirational about BS. The angry old dude routine has limited appeal, and voters of color will not gravitate to it. Sorry.

Bernie is not anything like Obama or has anything like Obama's popularity or charisma.
