Why Bernie Sanders lost Michigan – and what it means for his campaign

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/mar/10/why-bernie-sanders-lost-michigan

With the Democratic primaries down to two real candidates, only one state really mattered on mini-Super Tuesday: Michigan. Bernie Sanders has staked his electability on his alleged unique ability to win swing states like Michigan, the so-called “rust belt” states that had fallen to Donald Trump in 2016. In fact, some of the most questionable decisions of his 2020 campaign – doing a Fox News Town Hall and touting a controversial endorsement by Joe Rogan – were based on the rationale that Sanders alone could win back white working-class voters who had abandoned the Democratic party for Trump.

JG: It was a disappointing loss in Michigan last night, but Progressives in the USA will continue doing whatever they can do to ensure that Donald Trump is defeated on November 3rd, 2020.

FORWARD!
