Not that big of a deal.... And she will win SC.

But its not over. Bernie has a path to victory. We have a path to victory over the corrupt corporate establishment control.

A major portion of casino workers are Hispanic. Clinton has a long-standing relationship with that community. It is not surprising many caucused for her.

12. I am sick and tired of Bernie supporters accusing Clinton supporters of being Republicans.

That is truly disgusting, jon. Given the way Bernistas gleefully quote right-wing talking points in their attacks on Clinton, you might want to tone that down.

If you really want to change the party, try starting at the bottom..... local precincts, local and state candidates, Congress. Wonder why the right wing nuts are more politically more powerful than their numbers? That's why. They run Teapublican candidates for freakin' dog-catcher. Change, REAL, long-lasting change, needs to bubble-up. It's not going to be accomplished from the top down, with an outsider candidate who ultimately does not really care about the Democratic party.
