(42,862 posts)It's as if Bernie's campaign (and fans) think that Biden's campaign is UNAWARE of what's going on. I think it's a safe bet that the Biden campaign knows full well that Bernie is going to give one last hard push in Michigan... and the Biden campaign will be right there pushing back. (In fact there have been several stories on it already, I mean... it's in all the papers, surely everyone has seen it.)

(52 posts)I'm going to be writing an article about this more in depth, but, I think Bernie still has a Hillary problem going on. Even within the Democratic party, there was pause around Hillary given the nature of what the next four years could be. She was not particularly popular in MI, WI, PA. This gave Sanders votes that weren't really for him, but against her. Now heading into MI, where he won before, he does have the Hillary foil.
This could be a problem.

(11,607 posts)If I recall correctly a big part of why Bernie won Michigan was because of anger over NAFTA, which Biden voted for.
Bernie also has strong support from the Muslim community in Michigan. I doubt that has changed, unless they too are afraid he can't win.
