Anyone listening to CNN right now? Woah - Van Jones is predicting Bernie will do better in

the midwest with the AA group because they got hit hard by the housing crisis in 2008.
Bernie ran an ad in MI showing homes that were foreclosed and people losing their homes and Van Jones is saying that could have been the game changer in MI and expect it to help him in the midwest.

I think Bernie is going to hang on. He's leading by 28,000 votes. Hillary might pick up 20,000 or so from Wayne County, but most of the rest of the areas left either favor Bernie or are pretty evenly split.

IMHO he needs to win IL, FL, and do well in Missouri and come out with a lopsided delegate count for the night in his favor.

Among other things, there are a lot of Jewish retirees in FL and they're having the primary on a Tuesday. Nevada had their caucuses on Saturday during the day, which was shabbat. Hillary won with 52.6%. Nevada has 60K Jews. Bernie could have easily won if the observant Jews could have voted during the week.

but FL is not doable because of the voting machines there. Too many dirty tricks to play with the machines and the voting rolls and the voter suppression. Too big a hurdle IMHO.

I don't think they even realized it, but there is something to be said about rooting for someone who is genuinely working their way up

here in Illinois. Her TV and radio commercials have started playing here in Illinois from morning to night. I'm constantly running for the mute button. If they were smart they would stress her close friendship with Rahm.

CNN needs to get some Sanders supporters on the panels. There are usually at least a couple supporters on the other candidate on their panels of 8. Once in a while Bill Press makes an appearance.

I haven't seen what ad's Bernie has been running lately


Here are a couple of his latest ads,
