South Carolina Democrats are generally more conservative than Democrats in the other states (at least, other non-southern states) and a large percentage of them are black. While Bernie Sanders has a good share of the youth vote across races, older Democrats in SC are thought to be all-in for Uncle Joe. Biden got the coveted (and emotional) public endorsement of SC senator and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn yesterday, and it looks like SC is one state where Biden's years of working with Barack Obama may give him a big boost. The SC primary will go down on Saturday.

RE: ELECTION 2020 - HairOfTheDog - 02-28-2020 (02-28-2020, 11:33 AM)Duchess Wrote: This is the first I'm hearing of it. The same issue came up in 2016. After the 2016 election, the DNC deemed complaints by Sanders as being legitimate and changed the superdelegate rules so that they don't have any voting power unless none of the candidates have 1,991 delegates going into the Democratic convention. Hopefully, one of the candidates will reach that threshold and there won't be a contested convention. But, if that doesn't happen, the superdelegates (people with political clout/power in the Democratic party) can overrule the will of the people and take the nomination away from whichever candidate ends up with the plurality of votes. So, technically, for example, if Bernie earns 1,990 delegates in the primaries and caucuses and the other remaining candidates earn significantly less, Bernie could still lose the nomination at the Democratic convention by vote of the Democratic establishment. I don't think there should be superdelegates, period. Let the people decide. However, since Bernie Sanders motivated and agreed to the rule change after 2016, he doesn't have much of a leg to stand on when he complains about the current rules, in my opinion. RE: ELECTION 2020 - Duchess - 02-28-2020 I feel certain that we the people are getting pretty sick of being overruled. RE: ELECTION 2020 - cannongal - 02-28-2020 I don't think there should be super delegates either, especially after what happened in 2016, but I have a question for you, HOTD, say Bernie does come in just under, and the super delegates give the nomination to someone else ( I'm thinking either Warren or Biden) do you think that it'll cause the majority of Democrats in this country to try and write in Bernie, effectively causing a split in the democratic vote? Bernie tried to make sure his followers supported Hillary in 2016, but I'm not sure if he's going to be able to get them to support whoever the super delegates choose this time around.
