From The Guardian: "Bernie Sanders beats Hillary Clinton in stunning Michigan primary upset"

Bernie Wins Michigan in Big Upset

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

berniefor2016.jpg

From The Guardian:

Vermont senator had trailed in polls by more than 20 points but opposition to free trade and growing African American support won votes in rust-belt state

Bernie Sanders pulled off his biggest win of the Democratic presidential race on Tuesday, defeating Hillary Clinton in the Michigan primary on a night which also confirmed strong anti-establishment support for Donald Trump in the battle for the Republican nomination.

In an industrial state hit hard by the decline of manufacturing, the Vermont senator’s consistent opposition to free trade deals appears to have been a decisive factor, but he also showed signs of weakening Clinton’s dominance among African American voters.

Much Love to Michigan, the state where Labor Fought Its Battle of Gettysburg!

I have several good friends that live in Michigan. They're progressives who have viewed the Republican Party's screaming race rightward over the decades with alarm and disgust. (We've been friends for over 20 years.) For the last few months, I've heard more about Bernie from them than I have anywhere else, except for Daily Kos.

These ladies have been busy phone-banking and getting the word out. I don't know how the Sanders campaign has been working its ground game in Michigan, but I'd say that if my friends are any indication, Michigan voters didn't need much convincing. They're horrified by the politics of environmental racism in Flint. They've been outraged by the Constitutional violations committed by the so-called "emergency managers" appointed by Snyder. For that matter, many of them seem to want Snyder's head on a lead platter.

And with all that, I was still biting my nails until I saw Michigan was called definitively for Bernie Sanders.

My friends are very smug tonight. As they should be. Well done, ladies, and well done, Michigan.

She is my fishing buddy. That pick was when she was tiny, she is now a 45 pound ball of energy that makes me play frisbee at least 3 times a day. (I think she does it just to make sure I get out of the house once in a while.)

We got her from a shelter, she picked me. I was looking at a smaller dog in a kennel to her right and she reached through the grate and smacked me right in my forehead like, "Hey, I am over here you idiot!"

It was love at first sight. Smile Then when I found out she was born on 4/20 I had to take her home. (I wanted to name her Kaya, wife vetoed and wanted something lame and we settled on Zoe Smile )

She is 4 now, and we just got her a little brother I Wanted to name him Gozer (The Destructor from Ghost Busters) because he ate 3 pairs of my fishing glasses plus a couple pairs of Flip Flops in the first week (I never name a pet right away, I let them determine it from their personality) but again we eventually compromised on Loki
Loki.jpg (Which was what I actually wanted, so I am figuring out how to get my way! YEAH! Wink )

He is certainly full of mischief, and now right after his first birthday this rescue that was supposed to be a cur breed that maxes at around 40 pounds is now 65 and thinks he is a lap dog, lol!

Mostly because my mom, Don't get me wrong, I love her, but she could burn cold cereal, lol!

When my parents got divorced I was like 12 and she went back to work and would be wiped out when she got home so I started cooking dinner for her and my sister and I and I think that is what made me love it. The look of joy on her face when she came home from work to a home cooked meal that actually tasted good and I cooked for cheap was awesome and made me really appreciate the power of a good meal and good people. Smile

I still love to have people over several times a month for dinner parties and now that my wife is going to be "Moving up the Corporate ladder" and I am retired I get to be the good Company Wife. Smile

I send her to work with home made monkey bread, Sweet Amish white and whatnot since I got into baking and now her girlfriends are trying to "poach" me, lol!

It's the water, stupid. And manufacturing, housing, income and racial inequality...these have rattled and shattered the entire state. Those who supported HRC last night, save for the wealthy, seem to know nothing about HRC's true positions and intentions. Those who supported Bernie showed the country and world a thing or two about one of the most oppressed and depressed states of our union. It's devastating what they have had to endure to unite and make this statement.

I live in the Deep South, where things are not that great either. Seeing Bernie win Michigan was great...and not so unexpected for me.

The vote in my state March 1, however, was depressing. If people looked even marginally close at HRC's record of not helping people ("super predators", welfare "reform", etc ad nauseum) some clarity would come. It is apparent that many in my region seem to regularly vote against their best interests.

In addition to the human trajedy, do you have any idea how much Snyder is costing this state? 1.2 so far in legal fees for the Mayors personal atrorneys. Add in lawsuits, new pipes, 734 million emergency manager debt in the Detroit schools, tax cuts for business, and we have to be in the billions and billions. Meanwhile have the worst roads in the world, slashed and destrroyed K-12, Universities underfunded, fracking going on in residential neighborhoods, and Tea Pots in office evereywhere. Yep, I think Michigan was ready to kick some ass.

I am so glad to see the Clinton's finally get theirs in this state. Every election, our lame ass Michigan Democratic Party would haul Bill Clinton's sorry ass into Michigan to rally the troops for whatever lame ass establishment neoliberal they were peddling. Seriosly - NAFTA, TPP, housing crash, stagnant wages, no jobs in this state and the party brings in Bill.

A lot of California's being last in line is our own fault (we tried the March primary thing in 2008 but folks complained that it made the election cycle for state and Congressional offices too long), but I would love to see a regional primary system -- let IA and NH take the first two just for tradition's sake, but then after that hold primaries on the same day in each region -- South,Northeast, Midwest, South -- and take turns with the order each Presidential election cycle. Could cut back on the amount of cross-country travel (which would be better for the environment and for candidate schedules). Would probably need more study to determine feasibility, but I think it could work.
