She'll take a vote Sanders has made during his 25 years in Congress and gloss over most, if not all, of the details about it. The result is a carefully worded insinuation or even outright accusation that Sanders has voted against his base on everything from immigration to the auto bailout to fossil fuels."<br /><br />https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/10/5-times-hillary-clinton-has-played-fast-and-loose-with-the-facts-on-bernie-sanderss-record/<br /><br />* But yet, it's Hillary herself who accuses Bernie Sanders of making "very artful smears and innuendos".

It influences how working men and women vote. And, in Michigan, on Tuesday, it was with that issue in mind that they cast their ballots for Bernie Sanders.<br /><br />Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by a narrow margin — around 20,000 votes out of almost 1.2 million cast. But in a contest where Clinton has hailed narrow wins in Iowa, Nevada and Massachusetts as big victories for her, the Michigan win counts as a big victory for Sanders. And it was made all the more consequential because poll after poll after poll had suggested Sanders was far behind.<br /><br />http://www.thenation.com/article/bernie-sanders-wins-in-michigan-thanks-to-trade-policy/Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895164153505105997.post-50830447233224875912016-03-09T11:45:14.758-08:002016-03-09T11:45:14.758-08:00Sanders lawsuit: Ohio official changed law to bloc...Sanders lawsuit: Ohio official changed law to block 17-year-olds from voting (* It was a GOP politico who did this, so maybe he was trying to limit Trump voters, not Sanders voters) <br /><br />http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/08/politics/bernie-sanders-lawsuit-ohio-teenage-voters/index.html<br /><br />Polls appear to have underestimated the number of Republicans and independents who crossed over to back Sanders.

If the don't vote with the popular vote, that could spell big trouble for the political insiders (and Bernie could even run as an Independent -- or his supporters would write in his name -- or they would vote Republican -- or they might not vote at all.)<br /><br />But the media (especially on the cable news stations) are always totaling the delegate count with the super-delegates to make the election appear as though it's already a done deal for Hillary.<br /><br />Bud Meyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065020063363023395noreply@blogger.com
