'Biden can finish Bernie off in Michigan'

Super Tuesday weakened Bernie Sanders. Michigan may break him.

It was Michigan where Sanders engineered a primary day miracle four years ago, upsetting Hillary Clinton and imprinting his populist agenda on the industrial Midwest.

The result not only presaged Clinton’s inability to win over white, working-class voters in the general election, but underpinned Sanders’ argument that, in running again, he could succeed where Clinton failed in a race against Donald Trump.

One week from now, Sanders may not even win the state.

Even before Sanders’ woebegone Tuesday — marked by losses to Joe Biden throughout the South and in Massachusetts and Minnesota — a Detroit News/WDIV-TV poll put Biden ahead of Sanders by nearly 7 percentage points in Michigan.

Of voters who had already cast absentee ballots, the outlook was bleaker, with Sanders running behind Biden by nearly 20 percentage points.

That is a brilliant use of the term in context. It had to be intentional.

Every time I turn on the tv it seems like Sanders surrogate Michael Moore is bashing the Obama/Biden administration and blaming them for not doing more during the Flint water crisis.

If that is the case, Michael Moore was right to criticize them. Clearly the state government had failed the residents of Flint. They needed help from somewhere.
