Bernie's Moment of Truth

Good Michigan primary day Friends,

Today might otherwise be considered a pretty average primary day, with just a few scattered contests around the country. But today is make or break for Bernie Sanders.

His campaign will be watching Michigan very closely. A win would give Bernie tremendous momentum heading into next week's Super Second Tuesday, with  Florida, Illinois, and Ohio as big prizes.

If Bernie loses, however, any hopes he may actually have had of being the party's nominee are realistically gone, unless something unexpected takes Hillary Clinton out of the race.

There's no way the numbers of  delegates he needs for nomination can add up in his favor.

The question then becomes will Bernie stick around to be the moral compass of the Democratic party?

He has always said he'll stick out the primaries to the bitter end, and if Michigan goes Hillary's way, it could be bitter for Bernie indeed.

Michigan is illustrative of big northern urban states, and if Sanders has made it onto the radar of the state's minority voters, we'll find out tonight.

Hillary never thought it would end this way. That little flake looked so
harmless when it fell off Bernie's head. 

As he says; if voter turnout is Yuge, his results will be too. In Michigan's open primary, any registered voter can choose either party. CNN is already reporting that lifelong Republicans are jumping parties to feel The Bern.

And he never ceases to surprise us. His campaign, so far, has been close to  miraculous.

If he loses tonight, granted, it may be best for Bernie to back off and let Hillary run with the ball so her focus can totally be on the general election.

But if Bernie takes Michigan, that ball becomes one giant snowball rolling down hill, and it has Hillary's name on it.
