Biden Wins Big
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
COLUMBIA, S.C.—Joe Biden had taken blow after blow.
The former vice president had come in fourth place in the debacle that was the Iowa caucus , and it looked like he might do the same, or worse, in New Hampshire. So before the results putting him in fifth place were announced, he fled, literally, to the state whose support he needed most: South Carolina.
And tonight South Carolinians delivered Biden a decisive victory, with most of the major news networks projecting him as the winner as soon as polls closed. It is his first presidential-primary win in three runs for president over more than 30 years , one he hopes will prove his continued popularity with core Democratic constituencies and reinvigorate his flailing campaign.

The centrists at MSNBC are over the moon.
Joe Biden is the Democratic Frontrunner, again...
Trump has indigestion tonight.
It is highly unlikely Trump could beat Biden without cheating.
There are more Democrats than Republicans in America, the Democrats are motivated, and its hard to imagine the majority of independents picking Trump over Biden.
He will call Biden names.
Trump cannot actually debate. He is a moron. Hillary Clinton kicked his ass in all three debates in 2016.
Trump lied and said he won and his flunkies believed him.
He does that at every rally, every week, and probably sees no reason to change a winning strategy.
Hell, he does it every time he speaks to the press.
It's up to the Dems to get out the vote. Period.
SC was a decent start, the caucuses were not.
No Bernie is the front runner because he has won the most delegates so far.
First Class ASS ACT all the way
Suffice it to say that trying to make fun of Biden will be Trump's sole campaign strategy. Anything to try and take the spotlight off his own lies and stupdity.
Sanders still leads in delegates by 7, now, at midnight, 56 - 49.
but actually trails in popular vote for the first 4 states.
All of which means squat.
Maybe by June we will actually have a sense of what matters.
This makes Super Tuesday much more interesting.
Biden is exceeding expectations in vote count and should surpass Sanders in the overall total vote count, although the overall total delegate count will likely favor Sanders by about 5, when the smoke clears. Biden needs the press to regale the populace with the South Carolina victory to blunt Bloomberg's chances on Tuesday.
