    I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. Yes, Michigan was not in the last seven.

    I used it, along with Wisconsin, as a big state, that she was expected to win, but didn't and tried to spin it as an expected loss.

    What were the rest of the questions? There are many reasons for a journalist to lob a softball question to the person being interviewed.

    "Expected" is a vague, meaningless phrase, generally used by people who are trying very hard to spin a certain way because of their biases.

    On Feb. 18, 538 projected what each state would look like in a world where Clinton and Sanders were tied:

    Wisconson was Sanders +18.

    Just because someone has done a job for a long time doesn't necessarily mean they're good at it. It's one of the world's dirty little secrets.

    People can disagree. There are any number of areas where I'm to the left (or right) of HRC, but there is not a chance any of these candidates have the depth of policy understanding she does. They don't want to get into that discussion with her. Not Trump, not Ryan, not Cruz and not Sanders.

    Would the Marxist be the one with the tongue hanging out?

    Just read the article, and stop reading the president's phony Twitter feed.

    Despite Sanders winning Wisconsin, downballot a pretty important race for the state Supreme Court was won by a very conservative woman who says that AIDS is God's way of punishing gay sex. This can be clearly traced in exit polling to young Sanders voters not voting for the Supreme Court or not knowing enough about the candidates to pick the one they'd prefer (Benchmark Politics (@benchmarkpol) | Twitter).

    This is why the Bernie Bros are ultimately irrelevant, and it's why Republicans keep losing at the national level but winning at the state and local.

    More people voted in the Republican primary than the Democratic primary. Easily explains the Supreme Court win, as the proportion of Republican-to-Democratic voters matches the result of the Supreme Court race.
