Why did Hillary lose Michigan?

[beachbum bob]

44. the simple answer is she is allowing others to frame who she is and what she has done

make no mistake, 30 years of rightwing media bashing has had effect on some voters....combine this with some really awful pollsters....she was a sitting duck. I understand her reluctance to go full nuclear on bernie as his supporters are pretty much thin skinned kids who never been in politics or primaries. We see their "I'll take my ball home if bernie is not the nominee" attitude here all the time.

I think hillary's campaign should not make it personal against bernie but they need to start pointing out the areas that the righwing media will launch their attacks on bernie....bernie is vulnerable on many levels....from his CO days during vietnam war to his actual leadership record....to shilling for the NRA....the rightwing media will turn him into the second coming of Stalin....combined with being an appeaser who wishes to avoid armed confrontations....

of course just the demographics that bernie is failing with is a huge weakness

hillary change in tact should focus on her ability of getting stuff down and making the hard choices vs bernie sitting back railing about how bad the system is.....
