Didn't see one, so here it is.

Winning Michigan last night, in spite of polling predictions that he'd lose by 20%, has shown that Sanders' campaign is growing stronger by the day.

Huge turnouts. A small-donor campaign fund. A reputation for consistency and decency. A truly progressive agenda.

I think he'll rout Hillary and become our next president. He also beats Trump by a larger margin than Hillary in the polls.

Just like he is getting more youthful looking and, any day now in order to win the general election, will be embracing Christ and throwing aside his Judaism/atheism/socialism.

here are a few exit poll results from Michigan:

Sanders won union households 49-47 percent.

Clinton won voters who think the economy is the most important issue by 51-48 percent.

Among voters who think trade with other countries takes away US jobs, Sanders won 58-41 percent.

Among voters worried about the economy, Clinton won 50-48 percent.

Sanders won a convincing victory among voters who think trade takes away US jobs. But more generally, voters concerned about the economy broke pretty evenly.

The bigger story, perhaps, is that Sanders won a whopping 83 percent of voters under 30. That's a fifth of the electorate. He also won a respectable 31 percent of the black vote. In both cases, this is better than he usually does.

Sanders didn't campaign too hard in the southern states. He was never going to do well there. Establishment dems, black religious voters who really like the Clintons, Democratic machine workings and just a touch of anti-semitism meant he would choke there even if he tried.

Michigan was different. He actually organized and spent a little money, and voila.

The Bubba vote is all counted. It's on to the blue and purple states, now. The media, of course, just ignore him and fawns over Trump and Clinton.

You know, I'm all for the little guy finally getting a break in this country. Minimum wage, health care, etc. But Bernie sounds more and more
like a broken record. All he continues to say is "Wall Street, Billionaires
and fixed economy."

Granted, those things matter and are part of the landscape, but the country's problems run much deeper than that. Couldn't he at least acknowledge and address some of the other issues facing the American people. Not all will be fixed by changing the economic structure of this
country. I really don't think he's aware of all that is going on here.

Bernie has simple, crowd-pleasing answers to every question. He's for X, full stop. He's against Y, end of story. There's no nuance.

On whether Bernie supports fracking: "My answer is a lot shorter. No, I do not support fracking."

On reforming Wall Street: "If a bank is too big to fail, it is too big to exist....Within one year, my administration will break these institutions up so that they no longer pose a grave threat to the economy."

On whether there's even a "single circumstance" in which abortion should be illegal: "That is a decision to be made by the woman, her physician and her family. That's my view."

On prison reform: "I promise at the end of my first term we won't have more people in jail than in any other country."

Bernie hit the rhetorical peak of his career while mayor of Burlington (population 39,000), when he was a staunch critic of U.S. foreign policy in Latin America. As if Burlington mayors make even the tiniest difference in what happened to Latin America. Since then he has never stopped running his mouth and he has never had more power to change the real world than when he was mayor.

Sanders seems to tolerate the $1.5-trillion albatross, the F-35. Which makes sense if you consider that Vermont could lose a lot of jobs if the F-35 disappeared. Sanders persuaded the jet’s manufacturer to put a research center in Vermont and bring 18 jets to the state National Guard.

The much-maligned F-35 will cost at least $1.5 trillion during the 55 years that its manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, expects it to be flying. That number is up $500 billion from the original high estimate. But with a long list of problems plaguing the stealth fighter, that price will most likely grow.

Thank you, Bernie, for selling out the nation for Vermont jobs.

He wins debate polls by 90% or better, consistently.

If you think all he talks about is billionaires and Wall Street, you need to check out his position on all the other issues.

Don't count on MSM to paint an accurate picture of him. Trump gets 80x the media coverage Bernie gets. They hope that by ignoring him, he'll go away.

He'll be our next president at the rate he's going.

Which issue, that you're concerned about, has he not addressed?
