KAPOW!! The award for the most shocking result of this primary season goes to... BERNIE SANDERS!!!
*and the crowd goes wild*
Yes it happened. Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton in Michigan. All polling had the bitch beating Bernie by 20 points. There are a few important things to note here. I don't really like talking about specific groups of people... I don't believe it helps us all be Americans, but there is no other way to explain it.
Hillary has been winning in states that have heavy black populations. Michigan has heavy black population... and she lost. On the other hand, Bernie continues to do well in blue states... those are states that typically vote reliably for Democrats... and Hillary keeps crushing Bernie in red states... those are states that Democrats have very little chance of winning in November. So if Hillary is the eventual nominee, her support is greater in states she can't possibly win... and her support is very weak in states she must win. This all boils down to the fact that Hillary is an awful candidate.
Current Delegate Count
Hillary Clinton - 1,238
Bernie Sanders - 572
Needed to win - 2,383
Hillary is still dancing her way to the nomination, but it would be interesting to see if Bernie can continue to win consistently in blue states. If so, we could see a repeat of 2008, where she began losing to Barack Obama so much that the super delegates pulled their pledge from her, and rallied behind Obama. One thing missing... Obama had a dying Kennedy that they rolled out to endorse Obama, that shifted everything to him. Democrats are fresh out of dying Kennedy's.
