Flint went for Bernie, according to AP map

More than symbolic.

You can guess almost everyone voting there was watching the last debate. And when Clinton found ways to rationalize allowing the poisoning of the water - known as "fracking" - and Sanders slam-dunked his answer with a clear NO, that had to resonate.

The population of Flint is 60% African American.

fixin' the water 'n stuff. She's ahead in Genesee County (Flint), but Bernie smoked her in Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor). It's late and I'm tired, but I think that's what the map says as of 2:17 am!
