South Carolina will give zero momentum to Hillary

When you when 60 seconds after the polls close, there just isn't much momentum to be squeaked out. Its saturday night, there's not story, she did what she was expected to do.

Congratulations on her supporters for the win in a red state where the demographics suited her.

On to the next one.

There's no such thing as a "red state" in a primary in which "blue" voters and only "blue" voters partake. The term "red state" has no applicability in a Democratic primary or caucus.

red states are much less likely to go for the Democrat in the general.

Saying it has no relevance in a discussion of primary is nonsense.

The alternative, that you're right, means that we are going to have a republican president come November.

There is huge peer pressure among college students to support Bernie, but when people really look into the details, more and more of my friends are reconsidering.
