South Carolina is not feeling the Bern. Currently, there’s a minuscule crowd for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders at Claflin University in Orangeburg, South Carolina.
CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny tweeted this picture, and noted that Sanders has attracted massive crowds this election cycle:

Bernie will speak here at Claflin soon and there’s currently no line. How’s that Hillary crowd @MayaTPrabhu at SCSU? pic.twitter.com/NxQNzHy7rX
