Bernie Sanders Claims Momentum Despite Being 'Decimated' in South Carolina's Democratic Primary

Between Clinton and Sanders "there's just no contest", Goldwyn told a Nashville crowd and took aim at Sanders' call for a political revolution. "We are not taking anything, and we are not taking anyone, for granted".

The win was Clinton's third victory in the first four Democratic contests, and solidified her status as the strong frontrunner to capture the party's nomination for the November 8 presidential election. For the SC primary victor, of course, the City of Clinton and for the second-place finisher, Sanders Middle School in Laurens. Polls show Clinton leads in the majority of the states.

"Despite what you hear, we don't need to make America great again", Clinton said at a rally Saturday night, alluding to Republican front-runner Donald Trump and his campaign slogan. "Instead of building walls, we need to be tearing down barriers. We can build ladders of opportunity and empowerment so every single American can have that chance to live up to his or her God-given potential", Clinton thundered.

Early exit polls showed that about 61 percent of voters in Saturday's primary identified as black, with only about 35 percent saying they were white, according to NBC News. Sanders, meanwhile, tops Clinton by a roughly 60%-40% margin among white voters. In the email, Sanders thanked those in SC who stood behind him.

Syria ceasefire 'not binding' for Turkey if security threatened: PM
Assad said the proposals stated in the agreement were an important step in the direction of a political settlement. The YPG told Reuters this week it would respect a ceasefire but reserved the right to respond if attacked.

Most voters think both candidates understand people like them, but they have more confidence in Sanders when it comes to favoring regular people over big donors, and Sanders is generally seen as the more principled candidate.

"Let me be clear on one thing tonight", Sanders wrote in the email.

With large African-American and Latino populations, the demographics in the Super Tuesday states also give Clinton a sharp advantage, and without wins there, the opening for a Sanders comeback narrows. Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire primary earlier this month, there were plenty of people flipping their lids. She won a decisive victory in SC.

"In politics on a given night, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose", Sanders said after arriving in Minnesota.

Rooney out of England friendlies -- Van Gaal
With the brace not coming off until mid-March it may be the beginning of April before Rooney is back playing again for United. He looks increasingly unlikely to be able to feature in the friendlies against Germany and Holland at the end of next month.

Clinton's lopsided win provided an important boost for her campaign and a moment to wipe away bitter memories of her loss to Barack Obama in SC eight years ago.

Gabbard, a rising star within the party, has tussled with the Democratic leadership of Debbie Wasserman Schultz for limiting debates and aiding in a coronation Clinton. In micropolitan counties (counties with a city of between 10,000 and 50,000 residents), she won by a margin of more than 4 to 1. In 2008, only 78 percent of Black voters went with President Obama in SC.

Clinton's victory came at the end of a day that saw Republican candidates firing insults at each other from Super Tuesday states.
