Absolutely not, just need to see what the damage is and how much pull Biden has there competing against someone (although Bernie is gonna get washed easily). That state is always fukkery during general elections and I think you need all the data you can get for your campaign before the general election. Biden should want Bernie to stay in and use the rust belt, AZ and Fla. as sort of like preseason games.you dont think bernie would win florida, do you

Majority Whip Jim Clyburn: Sanders Never Courted My Endorsement

House Majority Whip James Clyburn has had many productive conversations with Sen. Bernie Sanders during their shared years in Congress. But when it came to seeking the influential South Carolina endorsement, the Vermont senator didn’t make a concerted effort.
“No, not really,” Clyburn told The Daily Beast in an interview when asked if Sanders or his campaign staff did anything specific to court him ahead of the influential Feb. 29 primary.
“I had a lot of conversations with almost every one of the candidates,” he said, referencing nearly two dozen candidates, including Sanders, who attended his “World Famous Fish Fry” in Columbia in June.
But Clyburn acknowledged the outreach didn’t go much beyond that.
“I don’t need to be courted,” he said.
The congressman wields tremendous influence in South Carolina, the first of the four early voting states with a large African American population. Elected in the early 1990s, he’s been a powerful force in southern politics for decades, with Democrats in the state broadly acknowledging that his backing is one of the most coveted election gets.
Clyburn officially threw his weight behind Biden just before primary day, giving the former vice president a much needed boost after disappointing finishes in the first few contests. Exit polls conducted by Edison Research found that 61 percent of Democratic voters said his endorsement was an important factor in their voting choice.
Sanders’ campaign had attempted to gain ground in South Carolina after being wiped out by Hillary Clinton there in 2016. But after finishing second place and 28 points behind Biden, Sanders criticized “establishment” politics that he said were unfavorable to his campaign.
“Now in case you haven’t noticed the political and economic establishment of this country. They’re getting very nervous about our campaign,” Sanders said at a rally in Virginia following the South Carolina primary. One of Sanders’ top surrogates, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, added on Monday that “South Carolina is not representative of the United States.”
“I find it very interesting that someone is referring to African American voters in South Carolina as the establishment,” Clyburn said. “I don’t understand how that vote can be dismissed.”
People aren't going to want to hear this, but Clyburn is part of that black establishment class that is doing nothing about black poverty and inequality. His 6th district contains some of the poorest black counties in SC, low household incomes, and failing schools. These cats enrich themselves while the people continue to suffer. This is the status quo we're fighting to keep
