Pre-election Michigan Polls indicate overwhelming victory for Clinton, huge loss for Bernie. LOL

The margin of victory predicted for Clinton ranged from a 11% to 27% lead!

The polls taken just before the election:

ARG Clinton wins with 60% of the vote to Sanders 36%. A 24 point lead.

CBS News Clinton wins with 55% of the vote to Sanders 44%. A 11 point lead.

NBS/Wall Street Journal Clinton wins with 57% of the vote to Sanders 40%. A 17 point lead.

Monmouth Clinton wins with 55% of the vote to Sanders 42%. A 13 point lead.

Fox 2 Detroit Clinton wins with 61% of the vote to Sanders 34%. A 27 point lead.

These anti-Sanders corporate polls were just a few points off. LOL

With 75% of the vote in Sanders leads with 50.6% against Clintons 47.5%

Everywhere you turn all articles, news, most leaders are all for H.

The only place I see positive for Bernie is online or in person with my friends and family.

The fact he is doing so well tells me the strength of the internet, if more older people watched news online instead of tv he would have more votes.

That was pretty nasty, linking TARP with the auto bailout. Even worse are the people revisioning history about how awesome TARP was...they do realize that was a Bush Admin program, right?
