Clinton wins big in South Carolina, Sanders focuses on "Super Tuesday" states

He had won a "decisive victory" in New Hampshire while Clinton had done the same in SC.

Cruz called Super Tuesday "the most important day in this entire election cycle" and said that turnout is key.

Half of voters said they trust only Clinton - not Sanders - to handle an global crisis, while another third of voters said they trust both of them. However, she also has a massive lead among superdelegates, the Democratic Party leaders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at this summer's national convention, regardless of how their states vote.

Clinton is eyeing six Southern states with heavy minority populations as a way to lock in a clear delegate advantage. "Tomorrow, this campaign goes national". But he knew his prospects in SC were grim.

Iran has dozens of political groupings and organizations, but no major, longstanding parties like in the West. Polls were closed at midnight in Tehran , and officials immediately began counting the ballots afterward.

The victory is her strongest yet in the 2016 primary contest. Former President Bill Clinton made statements during that campaign that were seen by some as questioning the legitimacy of the black presidential contender. Yet they have not been broken or embittered. "Yet they have not been broken or embittered".

While Sanders has the money to stay in the race deep into the spring, Clinton's campaign sees a chance to build enough of a delegate lead to put the race out of reach during the sprint through March. "Now it's on to Super Tuesday".

About 363,000 voters have given Hillary Clinton a dominating win in South Carolina's Democratic presidential primary.

"South Carolina matters because it best represents the Democratic coalition of all the early primaries", said Michael Bitzer, a political scientist at Catawba College in North Carolina.

The "end result" was a doubling of extreme poverty rates, Sanders told the crowd gathered in Orangeburg.

They sit in third place in the Western Conference, but the Oklahoma City Thunder have been on a downward spiral of late. He became the first player with three 50-point games in a season since LeBron James and Dwyane Wade in 2008-09.

Exit polls showed 6 in 10 voters in Saturday's SC primary were black. Disinterest among young voters is a particularly troubling sign.

White voters under 45 overwhelmingly supported Sanders, but among blacks, that group went overwhelmingly for Clinton. She has often done well among older voters, so this number was not surprising.

"I wouldn't focus on the margin", a campaign pollster said last week, "because it's not going to be that close". "Every person in this room is extremely powerful if you choose to use your power". Her speech also took a turn for the more somber when she named the mothers of black children and adults who have been killed in recent months in police confrontations. But she can't be blown out, either. "You never had to look over your shoulder and worry about attacks on the African-American community", Fant said. Clinton made a significant investment in the state, appealing in particular to African American women with her campaign's "barber shop" strategy. Seven of these contests (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) will be held in the South, a region where African-Americans make up a large percentage of the Democratic primary electorate.

"Instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers", said Clinton, who would be America's first woman president. "We need to show by everything we do that we really are in this together". She won a decisive victory in SC.

Among those supporters was Bernice Scott, 71, who was up early Saturday morning, heading to the small towns around Richland County, where she has lived for almost 50 years, to help get out the vote for Clinton.
