I don't remember what the situation was, in 2016, when Sanders won Michigan. I do remember being kind of surprised.

When my Dad played semi-pro football with the 'Flint Bulldogs' (I think that was the name of the team), they played the prison team. When my Dad was walking through the compound, all of a sudden he heard someone shouting out his name. It was an old school chum who was now an inmate.

When he saw the movie 'The Longest Yard' (the original) he said it brought back memories because that's really how hard they played. He loved that film.

The Mayor of Jackson MS (the location of the rally), Chokwe Antar Lumumba, endorsed him last week. That is a direct slap in the face to and very telling how you treat supporters.
