++The South Carolina electorate is the most polarized in the country. Next week we will see the Democratic side. The reason James Clyburn's endorsement of Hillary Clinton clinched the primary is because he has a vast network within South Carolina,"almost like the churches" which gets the African-American vote out.
++Hillary Clinton needs a crushing win and probably will get it next week.
++South Carolina is where Democrats hold President Obama at his highest approval rating in the country. It is one reason Hillary Clinton has not distanced herself from President Obama in her quest for the White House.
++At the same time,tonight moderate Republicans died. Interviews with Bush supporters in South Carolina said they would vote for Hillary over the Donald anyway of the week. It's something the Democrats will have to remember when they eviscerate each other.
++Tonight Hillary Clinton won with the massive support of African-Americans. The spectacle of seeing Civil Rights hero John Lewis being criticized by Bernie supporters really rubbed me the wrong way. I know John Lewis and am very proud of that. I find it very offensive anyone criticizing him.
++But what we are seeing is a generational gap in the African-American community with the old time leaders and the Black lives Matter movement. It has always been thus but neither will find satisfaction among the Republicans.
++We should expect an endorsement coming from Harry Reid soon. Bernie supporters accused Reid of tipping the scales in Nevada to Hillary Clinton. Maybe, but Harry has proven to be one of the most progressive leaders in Congress who gets things done or catastrophes averted.
