She increases that lead last night & is positioned superbly as we head on to the 15th.

It's a contest for delegates, and she's got them.

a way, I was glad for them to finally have something to cheer about. So now, after Hillary wraps up the nomination, they can always look back and say "We'll always have Michigan".

When Hillary takes the Oath of Office as the 2017 Madam President of the United States, and brings along her entourage of new Senate & Congressional Dems, the RW gridlock in DC & the Supreme Court imbalance, will finally be fractured for good.
US Democracy returns to the people, not the RW christo-fascists...the big money KOCHS nor the fattest Wall Street pigs..the NRA. (Both of which have recently been high-fiving this guy, bernie sanders)
Makes ya wonder?

Hillary.. for truth, sound governance & fairness for all genders, races, & religions under her great big tent, America.

So considering MI's narrowed down voting hrs, the extremely long lines & the largest Flint precincts that ran out of ballots by 4:30, this slight margin for Hillary could have actually tied or perhaps even surpassed.

Flint Polling Places Ran Out Of Ballots, Turned Voters Away
http://linkis.com/thinkprogress.org/po/HC6uD

So be it. What's done is done & caution is noted.
Hillary moves on forward with her entourage of new delegates right beside her, and her head held high.

I see why she talks about correcting voter laws in States where the RW has made it difficult for certain demographics to vote.
Hillary knows what's happened to voter rights & will have the power someday soon, to change the republican voter suppression laws they have defintely put in place over the years..
About time their destruction of American democracy ends.

equal rights are human rights
