Seriously, this might be big for Bernie Sanders in South Carolina:

AMY GOODMAN: Will you be voting for Senator Sanders?

TA-NEHISI COATES: I will be voting for Senator Sanders. I have tried to avoid this question, but, yes, I will be voting for Senator Sanders. I try to avoid that, because I want to write as a journalist—do you know what I mean?—and separate that from my role as, I don’t know, a private citizen. But I don’t think much is accomplished by ducking the question. Yes, I will vote for Senator Sanders. My son influenced me.

The most popular black public intellectual in the country has just come out for Bernie Sanders. That can’t be good for Hillary. If I were Bernie Sanders, I would be blanketing South Carolina with ads citing this endorsement.
