Joe Biden needed a big showing in the South Carolina primary and he got it big time. It has signaled the end of the line for Pete Buttigieg and possibly Amy Klobuchar. Looks like Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren.
To me, SouthCarolina Democrats took the safe route in choosing Biden. Sanders's socialist views won't cut it anywhere in the South. Warren may be hurt by the fact that she has not taken advantage of her early success.
What this shows me is that Americans aren't willing to roll the dice on an outsider like the Republicans did with Donald Trump in 2016. It was a huge gamble and it paid off. I have stated many times that the reason Mr. Trump was chosen was that people were tired of the status quo. Mr. Biden IS the status quo and that's a shame because there are better candidates out there. Status quo doesn't cut much anymore, in my opinion.
