You'll notice nobody on the Bernie side is taunting or baiting HRC supporters tonight.

That might explain part of the difference in the reaction.

Also, when we have bad results, we analyze and critique them, too.

Slow reporting from black-dominated Wayne County...this could go either way.

But regardless, Hillary was expected to dominate Michigan, didn't, and most Bernie folk aren't being dicks about it. I hope it stays that way...I'd find it embarrassing.

And I'm holding out hope for a win. Go Bernie!

Which I've been doing most of the election cycle. They have been truly awful this year.

If Bernie wins Michigan I'm perfectly content to let the Hillary folks have Mississippi and go to bed happy tonight.

Who are supporting Hillary. And I also share the worry of many who like Bernie but worry he might not pull it out in the General.
But many of the obnoxious trolls on this Board can go to Hell. As can she and her race-baiting divisive campaign.

And I have been a Bernie supporter (and drove almost 15 miles to vote for him today in rural Michigan) but the idiot hosts in the Bernie group banned me on one post because I supported the DU TOS in their clubhouse.
