It's OK, smokin, whatever opinion poll you want to believe is fine with me. It doesn't really matter what opinion polls say. In my opinion, running on a promise to take away the health care services people like in exchange for a vague promise, almost doubling of the national budget and zero plans to pay for it is a loser. I also am pretty certain his unfunded package of promises would be a gift to Republicans in the fall. Let's compare notes tomorrow and you can tell me how well that promise went over in Michigan. My guess is that Bernie will continue to collect his meager 25% of the vote with Biden taking almost all delegates in MI.Facts:
Bernie and Biden are neck and neck in Michigan fighting for nomination. Polls show it a bit tipped in Biden's favor. MI being a Blue State where some locations are barely accessable will tell the story when votes are counted. Should know tomorrow. I think Trump could talk Biden down and that's my worry. A bigger worry is four more years of Trump.
It boggles me that Sanders supporters hang onto the belief that people who say they are Independent voters and tend to be more conservative than Democrats will flock to Bernie when he can't even get more than a quarter of Democrats to vote for him. I would think that at some point, the facts against that belief would convince them otherwise but that doesn't seem to be happening. Sanders' false claim of "The Establishment is rigging the system" must have a strong effect.
My guesses are just that. You may laugh at me tomorrow if it turns out to be wrong. I'll laugh with you. We agree on most issues. I actually favor Sanders policies, I just don't think he'd make a good president, is a poor legislator and can't deliver on his promises. We most certainly agree on getting Trump out of office is the main objective. Also cutting into Republican control of the Senate. I'm guessing that is something you'd like to see too.
