Victory. Hiser sanders and supporters gathering in rochester, minnesota tonight with an eye on next tuesdays super tuesday contest. Hear from senator sanders in about 90 minutes if the schedule goes as planned. 53 delegates are at stake in the primary, it is the last time we will have a single state before we moved to the super tuesday primaries on tuesday. Many of those are public and candidates crisscrossing in what others are calling the sec primary. A lot of states in the state south, including tennessee, texas, and georgia. We will have more from the candidates in the course of this weekend and tuesday, the results. Tonight the focus of South Carolina. Sanders congratulated Hillary Clinton with her victory. He went on to say, let me be clear on one thing tonight. This campaign is just beginning. We won a decisive victory in New Hampshire. She won a decisive victory in South Carolina. Now it is onto super tuesday , and donte together let people like donald trump try to divide us, we can create an economy that works for all of us, and not just the top 1 . We are also keeping track of the tweets including Nbcs Chuck Todd who has been keeping up with the numbers. He said it is not a surprise that Hillary Clinton would win in South Carolina, but her overwhelming lead among africanamericans is just astonishing. 8416. That is obamaesque. We want to hear from folks and succulent. Our phone lines are on. Our lines for democrats. Republicans. Indendependence pendents. We welcome our listeners on cspan radio. And we are getting a drill down on the numbers in a reaction. Thank you for being with us. Guest make you for having me. Host the early numbers show this is a huge win for Hillary Clinton. Guest it is important in the context of her campaign. This has been a rougher start to her campaign than anyone envisioned for Hillary Clinton, even three months ago. Which narrow win in iowa effectively looks like a tie from the outside. Being blown out of New Hampshire by Bernie Sanders. But now, a small and comfortable win in nevada. By all accounts, a blowout win in South Carolina. That is big for her, and puts her back on track to win the nomination, comfortably. A note from what you said from senator sanders, we should not expect him to go quietly into that good night just yet. Is with the New York Times and cnn, he is looking at the numbers. He says six in 10 voters in South Carolina today are africanamerican. 84 backed Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. According to polls, well over 90 of the africanamerican voters over the age of 65 supporting Hillary Clinton. Why such a disparity between her and senator sanders among this key demographic . Guest given a years ago when she faced senator barack obama, it was effectively split. It was reversed at the time. It was obama who one big among africanamerican voters w wo n big among africanamerican voters. Most likely against any of the republicans. You have to remember, bernie it is ann some ways, approximation of what obama has done. When you consider president obamas biggest thing was the health care reform. Bernie sanders is very clear about how he wants to replace that with a singlepayer system. That is a difference Hillary Clinton has highlighted. She does not want to pave over some of obamas legacy. She wants to protect his legacy. For africanamerican voters, the first africanamerican president , that is seemingly the message resonating and winning over right now. Host pointing out that Hillary Clinton has just left her hotel in columbias, succulent columbia, succulent. Been gathering since this evening. Of cheers at 7 00 when Networks Officially declared her the winner. What do you think she will speak about tonight . Guest i would not be surprised if there is a small in the general election. Certainly that is what her campaign wants democratic voters to think about. Seeing her as inevitable. Trying to picture her taking on the republicans. Degree that the donald trump has dominated the discussion in all corners, even would not bey, i surprised to hear her talk a little bit about him, and start pushing back about him against him. Not only do you get out ahead in the general election, youre trying to refrain the race and a, hey, look, the democratic primary is winding down. We are starting to focus on a general election. Of course senator sanders has other ideas. That is the message Hillary Clinton wants to give democrats right now. They areis Time Starting to roll up victories on the republican side, it is time to turn our attention to the general election. Im going to be the nominee, lets start the about the general. Host senator sanders began the day in austin, texas. He was in rochester tonight. He was in South Carolina yesterday. A stop when he crisscrosses some of the state with an eye on tuesday. How does he have to thread the needle in terms of delegate . Delegates . Especially when Hillary Clinton has such a large majority of superdelegates. Guest he needs to start morning morning state he needs to start winning more state. States. He does have opportunities on super tuesday. Victory, but the caucuses in minnesota or colorado, typically they are lower turnout, hardcore liberal activist. The kind that like Bernie Sanders. He has some opportunities in those races. It should be said, you mentioned some of the state who are voting on tuesday like texas or georgia, or alabama, these are states that are like South Carolina. Many of them have large africanamerican populations. Point, thatthis Bernie Sanders, despite his efforts to win over africanamerican voters, it is something not happening for him. You mentioned the 84 of the exit poll showed. That is astonishing. For senator well sanders in other states with high africanamerican relations. Relations. Host six superdelegates the Republican Party does not have superdelegates which will make it interesting at the Republican Convention does come down to what some are predicting senator rubio saying he will take it to cleveland. The Democratic Party does have superdelegates, can you talk about that and how it is helping Hillary Clinton so far . Guest these are all Democratic Leaders who, the Clinton Campaign ken court can court candidate. Hillary clinton has supported just about every democratic leader in the country. Those are who the superdelegates are. As a people that superdelegates listen to. It is interesting, there has been a lot of thought about the importance of superdelegates. Some thought that Bernie Sanders could get more delegates. They would have no choice but to support Bernie Sanders. Otherwise it looks like basically the party later stole the election from Bernie Sanders. That would not be good. Its funny you mentioned the republicans do not have superdelegates. I would imagine there are Republican Leaders who wish they did have superdelegates to maybe help if it does become a broker convention in cleveland, they can help make sure the nominee is not donald trump. Reporter isnior joining us in washington. For listeners on cspan radio, we are keeping an i on hillary at ans headquarters in South Carolina. A significant win in the palmetto state. We will listen to your calls and comments. First, steve, baltimore, maryland, democrats lined. Line. Thee i want to point out Republican Party, the regressive the reasonys saying minorities vote democrat is because they offer free stuff. Of ianders is sort t want to say off offering, he is offering free college education. The reason we did not vote for Bernie Sanders is that i think in this case we are going with the devil that we know. We are going with hillary. Generally we just know her. She has ties and she knows the black community well. Thank you for listening to my call, that is it. Host thank you. Alex i think he is right. The clintons have had a relationship with the Africanamerican Community for decades. Even before he became president in 1992. When he did become president come he had a very strong relationship with the community. Matt continued it went through a rough patch certainly in 2008 when senator obama ran against him, and Hillary Clinton. There was criticism for how bill clinton acted during the race. The relationship has certainly been repaired. Again, it is a remarkable thing that eight years ago, after losing black votes by such a margin to obama, she is now winning it by a huge edge over Bernie Sanders. It is quite a turnaround in eight years. Host of the associated press, looking down at these poll numbers, points out the blacks, women, and those over the age of 30 giving Hillary Clinton a commanding victory in succulent. Brian is joining us from california. Our independent. Brian i wanted to run through a few things. We are at the crux of the historic time in american history. We have a populist uprising. Going through the ballots right now we have all trump on the democratic side. What i do find interesting right now is the democratic constituency is actually voting for the establishment.
