COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Hillary Clinton overwhelmed Bernie Sanders in Saturday's South Carolina primary, drawing staggering support from the state's black Democrats and seizing an increasingly strong position as the presidential race barrels toward Super Tuesday's crucial contests.
She led by almost 50 points with about three-fourths of the vote counted.
She won the support of nearly 9 in 10 black voters, crucial Democratic backers who abandoned her for Obama in 2008.

The former secretary of State claimed a stunning 87 percent of African-American Democratic voters in South Carolina.
Even more striking was Clinton’s margin of victory among older black voters.
In 2008, then Sen. Barack Obama beat Clinton among black voters older than 60 by 50 points.

Happy and proud. Hillary is the Dem that can win.
Hate to be a downer but we'll have to work very, very hard to get people to the polls with proper ID. Trump is going to cheat like hell.`
