Down by double digits Sanders scores major upset in defeating Clinton
Per Fox News’ Ed Henry:
Sanders top advisers have been all smiles tonight – making the case Hillary Clinton’s attack on Sanders and the auto bailout backfired. They also say Sanders’ relentless attacks on Clinton’s support for free trade deals over the years had an impact, and will likely be effective in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri ahead.
Team Sanders notes after next Tuesday the South is essentially done. That Clinton advantage goes away. They make the case that rural voters in many places across the Midwest and West are taking a closer look at Bernie.
They were also irritated about a Detroit Free Press poll over the weekend suggesting Clinton had a 25 point lead in Michigan. It did not pan out.
This is a major upset for Sanders in Michigan. How major? Consider that in all 15 pre-election polls conducted in Michigan this year, Clinton led Sanders by double digits.
This is the ninth and largest state that Sanders has won so far in the Democratic presidential campaign.

Bernie Sanders’ camp has sent out an email, calling Michigan “a major game-changing victory.”
“The results are in and we were just declared the winner in a very important state for our campaign: Michigan. That’s a major, game-changing victory for our campaign,” the email says.
“The corporate media counted us out. The pollsters said we were way behind. The Clinton super PACs spent millions against us across the country. We were hit with a dishonest attack in the debate. But we won, again… and if we continue to stand together, we can win this nomination.”
