5. That goes both ways though

If Bernie gets the nom he isn't winning jack if Dems and especially AAs don't come out for him in Nov. I get the complaint that Hillary doesn't win in blue states yet but neither does Bernie win big in big diverse blue states either. How can he catch up delegate wise or win in November if he could just barely eek by Hillary with less than a 2% majority last night. He has to up his win ratio significantly. Now a win is a win IMO but Bernie has just as many problems as Hillary does. Pretend any differently at your own folly. There is also the question of how Bernie does when he takes a punch. He hasn't really been hit hard yet. What will he do when Trump goes after his family for example? And that will happen btw. Trump has no boundaries or morals. The fact he is pulling the so called Christian vote is hilarious. Even worse news for Bernie is that NY, CA, and PA are closed primaries as well.

Hillary took her eye off the ball with MI. She only campaigned in the Detroit/Flint area and left the rest of the state alone and she started focusing on Trump and not Sanders. She got caught sleeping. Problem is you usually only get that chance once. She will learn from this and go hardcore for Ohio over the net week. Watch. Question is if Sanders can build real momentum from MI or not. We'll see in a few days.
