Overheard on Twitter: Michigan Dems know Hillary has primary locked up so voting Republican

Apparently people are running into some Dems who know that Hillary has Michigan won and are instead voting in the Republican primary in Michigan to shake that up. Interesting. Not sure I would do that though.

They said they were going to vote HRC in the Primary and would vote Trump in the General to shake up the system. The world is full of idiots. As Bernie noted, all Democrats don't always make good choices.

And she will get the nomination. Bernie doesnt need to win states, he needs to win blowouts.

As a recovered former Christian, Cruz's religious beliefs scare me. I know what the most strident believers are like. I DON'T want an apocalypse lover in charge of our nuclear and conventional military forces.

But I got my mind right and voted for Bernie. I am hoping everyone else did as well.

If you are in Michigan and planning on voting for Bernie, vote for Bernie. It wasn't too long ago Hillary was up over 20 points in Michigan. Now it's a virtual tie. You could be the vote that gives Bernie the victory.
