Joe Biden won Michigan and Missouri. Dealt a blow to Bernie Sanders who counted on Michigan to support him. |
Those insufferable trolls of the Sanders campaign failed. Yes, Tlaib was an insufferable troll. The booing of Hillary Clinton didn't win favor with Democrats. She could face a primary challenger for that.
Also, Nina Turner's "playing the victim" on CNN didn't help.
What hurt Sanders was his determination to appear on GOP propaganda. He went to Fox News for a town hall and spread misinformation about Biden. He also can't control his supporters.
He failed to tell supporters and rivals that the Russian Federation is meddling in the primaries.
Sanders is now calling the results voter suppression.
He is his own worst enemy.
The Black vote turned out heavily for Biden. I want to remind you that Biden lives in Wilmington, Delaware and Washington, DC. Those are predominantly Black cities. Biden's years as a Senator were controversial during the 1970s and 1980s. But it's now 2020 and we're looking back 40 and 50 years of Biden's history.
Okay, where's Sanders' history folks?
Former Vice President Joe Biden swept Mississippi, Missouri and Michigan.
He is likely to win Idaho.
Washington and North Dakota are too close to call. If Biden does win Washington state, Sanders path to the nomination will be difficult. The next line of states for the primaries are delegate rich.
The next round of states for Bernie Sanders are Ohio, Arizona, Illinois and Georgia. States that look favorable for Biden. |
Sanders can't win over Black votes in the South and he cannot rely on solely progressive voters. He can't build a coalition of Democratic voters. Trump can't even win a coalition of support within the Republican Party despite the first two years of them having a majority in House and Senate.
The junk food media was solely focused on Michigan. Sanders pulled an upset victory over Hillary Clinton in Michigan primary in 2016.
Sanders decision to skip the Mississippi primaries hurt him badly in the Magnolia state. Biden carried the state with 80% of the vote.
Michigan gave Biden a big victory. He ended up winning with 56% of the vote.
Missouri gave Biden a big victory. He ended up winning with 60% of the vote
Super Tuesday II is still running. With the states of Washington, Idaho and North Dakota still on the books, we can only assume that Sanders can win at least one state.
