Clinton cruises to S.C. win By JULIE PACE and LISA LERER Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — 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. Clinton’s lopsided win — she led by almost 50 points with about threefourths of the vote counted — provided an important boost for her campaign and a moment to wipe away bitter memories of her loss to Barack Obama in South Carolina eight years ago. She won the support of nearly 9 in 10 black voters, crucial Democratic backers who abandoned BERNIE her for Obama SANDERS in 2008. During a raucous victory rally, Clinton briefly reveled in her sweeping support from South Carolina voters, hugging backers and posing with them for selfie photos. But then she pivoted quickly to the contests to come. “Tomorrow this campaign goes national,� she said. “We are not taking anything, and we are not taking anyone, for granted.� Sanders, expecting defeat, left the state even before voting was finished and turned his attention to states that vote in Tuesday’s delegate-rich contests. “In politics on a given night, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,� Sanders said after arriving in Minnesota. “Tonight we lost.� Clinton allies quickly touted the breadth of her victory.

Sanders continued to do well with young voters, his most passionate supporters. He also carried those who identified themselves as independents. All registered voters could vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary but not in both. A self-described democratic socialist, Sanders has energized his
supporters with impassioned calls for breaking up Wall Street banks and making tuition free at public colleges and universities. But the senator from Vermont, a state where about 1 percent of the population is black, lacks Clinton’s deep ties to the African-American community. Still, he did invest heavily in South Carolina, with 200 paid staff on the ground and an aggressive Continued on Page A-8

“Today we’re going to attempt something different,� Agnes Lasin said as the bell rang signaling the start of a 10thgrade English class at Indiana Area High School. “Different� has been the theme of classes every Friday for six weeks at the school, where Lasin is one of 16 international teachers that took over some classes each week. The teachers — from around the globe — have been implemented into Indiana’s curriculum as part of the 2016 International Leaders in Education Program (ILEP). The program introduced ILEP fellows with at least 10 years of teaching experience to the student body as an example of what it’s like to work in an American school. Indiana was chosen
