Heading into South Carolina, it appeared that Democrats were taking the express train to socialism. Sen. Bernie Sanders arguably won the chaotic Iowa caucuses, then went on to a solid victory in New Hampshire, and a crushing triumph in Nevada. As the race went toward the Palmetto State, there was talk that Sanders might be able to deliver a “kill shot.†Instead, Joe Biden revived his candidacy with a dominant win, fueled by black voters who tend to be more pragmatic than the pro-revolution wing of the party.
A day after winning Nevada, 60 Minutes aired an interview with Sanders in which he dug in on his decades of defenses of the propagandist “literacy programs†of communist Cuba. He later did so again at the Democratic debate in South Carolina.
Biden hammered Sanders on his soft spot for communist dictators. After providing a pivotal endorsement of Biden, Rep. Jim Clyburn warned that nominating a socialist would cause “down-ballot carnage†for Democrats in November. In the debate, Sanders also drew scrutiny for his inability to explain how he would pay for tens of trillions of new spending, particularly his sweeping healthcare plan.
