Rivals took aim at Bernie Sanders' electability in the South Carolina DemDebate and warned his nomination would be a 'catastrophe'
CHARLESTON, S.C. - Democratic presidential candidates unleashed withering attacks on Bernie Sanders in a boisterous debate in South Carolina on Tuesday, assailing his ambitious economic agenda and warning his nomination would be a “catastrophe” that would cost Democrats the White House and control of Congress.
“I can tell you exactly how it all adds up. It adds up to four more years of Donald Trump,” Buttigieg said. “If you want to beat Trump, what you’re going to need is an unprecedented grassroots movement of black and white and Latino, Native American and Asian people who are standing up and fighting for justice. That’s what our movement is about,” Sanders said.

Bloomberg also took aim at Sanders, referring to reports that U.S. intelligence officials believe Russia is trying to help Sanders in the election. “When dictatorships - whether it is the Chinese or the Cubans - do something good, you acknowledge that. But you don’t have to trade love letters with them,” he said.
