Feast your Bernie eyes on this!

"...Bernie Sanders: Yes, the Vermont senator got destroyed in Mississippi. But, in the bigger and high-profile state of Michigan, Sanders heavily overperformed polling that showed Clinton ahead by 20 points or more. Winning a big Midwestern state is of deep symbolic importance for Sanders, who was on the verge of being cast as a nuisance candidate by many Democrats.

Sanders may have also found an issue where he can do real damage to Clinton as the campaign goes forward. Almost six in 10 Michigan Democratic primary voters said international trade takes away U.S. jobs, according to exit polling. Among that group Sanders won by roughly 20 percentage points over Clinton. That could -- and should -- bode well for his efforts in Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and other states where international trade has ravaged the economy. "What tonight means is that the Bernie Sanders campaign... is strong in every part of the country," Sanders said in brief remarks in Florida Tuesday night. "We believe our strongest areas are yet to happen."

Sanders had previously pledged to stay in the race through the June 7 primaries and, as I've noted, he has plenty of money to do so. Now he has even more reason to do so."

I find the statement "found an issue" rather interesting. I believe the issue had long ago been "found" perhaps highlighting an issue important to American Workers might be a better construct of the statement.

which should surprise no one (and most of them will not even vote for dems in the fall). Now we'll see what Bernie can do.
