Fournier: Not Guaranteed Black Vote Will Save Clinton in South Carolina

‘New Hampshire should be Clinton country; it was Clinton country in 1992, it was in ‘96, it is where she rebounded in 2008’

BAIER: "The democratic caucus results, pretty amazing if you look at the actual votes there. The percentages, some decided by a coin toss. You look to the New Hampshire real clear politics average and you can see heading in, that Bernie Sanders has a huge lead. How does Hillary Clinton change that dynamic where Bernie Sanders is kind of heading in with big steam?"
FOURNIER: "It’s kind of hard to. The Democratic Party like the Republican party, the voters are clamoring for change and don’t want an institutionalist. Don’t want the establishment. She is trying to lower expectations. He’s from Vermont. This is a state very comfortable for him. Nobody from a nearby state has not won New Hampshire. But New Hampshire should be Clinton country. It was Clinton country in 1992. It was in ‘96. It is where she rebounded in 2008. The fact that she is so far behind in New Hampshire I think shows again that she is a relatively flawed candidate. And it is interesting, you have a Clinton in New Hampshire saying, not too much change. Not too much change. That guy wants to be too much of a change agent which is the exact opposite of what got bill Clinton elected in ‘92. And Bill Clinton today was dismissing Sanders in the same way he was dismissed in the ‘90s by the bush family. This guy is too airy fairy and too much of a dreamer. It is awfully ironic. And I think that the best you can do is keep expectations low in New Hampshire and count on the African-Americans to savor in South Carolina. I’m not even sure that’s a guaranteed thing."
