Clinton sweeps South Carolina primary as ‘Super Tuesday’ looms

– ‘Just beginning’ –

Sanders a self-described democratic socialist seeking to launch a “political revolution” in America, was already looking past South Carolina.

Early Saturday he headed to Texas, where he addressed a crowd of 10,000 people, and then Minnesota, two states in play next Tuesday when the Vermont senator needs to keep his head above water if he wants to challenge Clinton deeper into the nomination race.

Sanders swiftly offered Clinton his congratulations, but also insisted he was in it for the long haul.

“Let me be clear on one thing tonight. This campaign is just beginning,” he said in a statement.

“We won a decisive victory in New Hampshire. She won a decisive victory in South Carolina. Now it’s on to Super Tuesday.”

As the Democrats voted, the Republican race churned on as frontrunner Donald traded barbs with rival Marco Rubio, who in recent days has launched a fierce assault on the billionaire real estate mogul.

“I want to save the (Republican) party from a con artist,” Rubio, seen by many as the man best-positioned to topple Trump, said at a stop in Kennesaw, Georgia.

Rubio accosted Trump for “flying around on hair force one,” and having “the worst spray tan in America.”

Trump pushed back Saturday, blasting Rubio as a “lightweight” and a “liar.”
