South Carolina Democrats Hunt for Candidate to Beat Trump

Kane Farabaugh

   CHARLESTON, SC - It's hard for Darryl Thompson to escape the onslaught
   of political messaging ahead of South Carolina's Democratic primary
   election.

   "It's everywhere, it's on social media, it's on broadcast '¦ everywhere
   you want, it's there," he says, including on the radio of the truck he
   drives for a living.

   But Thompson isn't tuning out. He's actually "watching to see who has
   the better deal" addressing the issues that concern him most, such as
   the incarceration levels in his state, and the high costs of health
   care and college tuition.

   But there is one thing he says he wants more than anything else.

   "I want somebody who can beat President Trump," he told Voice of
   America while watching the latest debate among the remaining Democrats
   in the race for the nomination.
