I guess Bernie is our own gentle and magical dragon.

(7,006 posts)I knew the polls were wrong as two left shoes. Especially after last Sunday's debate. Hillary's answer on NAFTA was flat out unforgivable in this state. What's is worst -- that same answer is going to hurt her somewhat awful in Northeast and Central Ohio.
If Bernie runs the SAME CAMPAIGN he won in Michigan with, in Ohio. Get ready to say OHIO-IS-BERNIE's/NOT-ME-US-X-2!!!

(65,173 posts)I would even have been pleased with a close loss. But a win is outstanding! We need to win a good nunber of states due to Hillary's margins so far. I feel we can win the West Coast, maybe pull out PA, IL, WI and OH, and more.. go Bernie!

(40 posts)All day long until just now, I didn't check in on the Michigan primary because I was so afraid that Hillary and the good old boys in the Dem establishment would find a way to pull the rug out from under Bernie's feet. Well, surprise! Looks like the tables have been turned, and Bernie's base continues to broaden. See what happens when you refuse to let someone interrupt you when it's your turn to speak in a candidate's debate? See what happens when you give a one word reply - "no" - when asked if you support fracking? See what happens when you're the sole person with any integrity in a presidential campaign filled with sharks?
I am so proud of Bernie, I'm giving him a standing ovation, followed by the snoopy dance all alone here in my living room!
THE MAN ROCKS! GO, BERNIE - GO!

(348 posts)Look at the NY times polls:
http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/michigan
Over a million Democrats came to caucus in Michigan. There were 20k more for Bernie than for Hillary.
I'm glad to see half the Democrats are now rejecting the plutocracy. Very happy night!

(9,199 posts)I was so bummed about Bernie's probable loss in Michigan tonight that I went out to run errands.
When My son texted me that Bernie was ahead I raced home to watch.
Thanks to all of you who suggested I watch CNN instead of my usual MSNBC.
