What went wrong for Hillary Clinton in Michigan? (CNN)

http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/09/politics/hillary-clinton-michigan-loss/index.html

Hand-wringing
The hand-wringing inside the Clinton circle also included the concern that perhaps the campaign had lost sight of winning the Democratic nomination — and started looking ahead at the general election too soon.

"They didn't take Sanders for granted as much as voters," said one top Democrat close to the campaign.

Clinton told supporters on Monday that "the sooner I could become your nominee, the more I could begin to turn my attention to the Republicans."

Not yet Hillary, not yet.

Or maybe knew about her anti clean water vote.

Perhaps it was the trade agreements...

Read an article yesterday about Trump and how trade is really the thing he's passionate about, not walls or Muslims. It makes sense to me that this economic issue, and not stupidity & racism, is central to his appeal. Being also central to both his campaign and Bernie's -- MSM seems clueless.

her of attacking Bernie too much.
