Sanders on S.C. Defeat: ‘We Got Decimated’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: "A month ago, senator, a month ago you said I think we’re picking up more and more African-American support, frankly I think we can win there, referring to south Carolina. You lost African-American voters 84 to 16, worse than any poll had shown. Senator, what happened?"
SANDERS: 'Well, we got decimated, that’s what happened. Among older African-Americans it was pathetic from our perspective. But by the way, what was the glimmer of positive news for us is that we won the 29 years of age or younger vote. And we did well with African-American young people as well as white young people. But no question secretary Clinton won that state and she won it big, but I’m in Minnesota now. I think we got a real shot at Minnesota. I think we got a shot at Colorado, Oklahoma, Massachusetts and Vermont. So we’re looking to the future, not looking back. We had two rallies yesterday in Texas. 10,000 people out in Austin, 8,000 people out in Dallas. I think the future for us it’s going to be a tough fight. I think we can pull it off, chuck."
