I can't believe that Sanders would win Wayne county. That just seems too good to be true.

Wow, the polls were absolute GARBAGE! Clinton can still win this, there's a lot of Flint still out, but there's no way she wins by the 15-20% the polls suggested...

Looks like it could come down to Macomb.

And I'm gonna laugh at the Clinton supporters who asserted with confidence that Clinton would still win by 15%, because that's definitely not going to happen, at this point..

Do we know how much of Detroit itself is still out? I doubt that all of what's left in Wayne is Detroit.

Well, the media will probably only care about who the eventual winner is, but can we trust Clinton's good 3/15 poll numbers, if the ones here were so bad?

I'm not expecting Sanders to win the nomination, by this point. 3/15 will still be very tough for him. Still, not reason not to be happy about him beating his poll numbers by so much, and maybe pulling off an upset!

By 77 votes! Man, this is nerve-wracking...

In other news, looks like Sanders will clear 15% in MS, meaning he'll get a couple of delegates! FEEL THE BERN!

I have no doubt that this race is going to California now.

Well, he'll stay in the race but he's not going to be able to actually catch her in delegates.

This.

Probably, but he's still making a race out of this, which is impressive in and of itself.

DDHQ is trash. Even if Clinton somehow does win (Detroit could just barely put her over the top, it's still a possibility), they were absolutely wrong to call this race so soon.

I'm not ruling out a Clinton win, yet. Let's wait until more of Wayne is in.

I'm still not sure why people are ignoring the delegate math here. This does not close the gap for Sanders, not even close.

I'm still very skeptical of Sanders' chances, but if he can outperform his polls like this on the 15th, and prevent Clinton's delegate count from surging, then the argument is that he'll close the gap in late March in early April. Not sure if I buy it yet, but that's how it goes.

A vote dump from Detroit and Flint only put a small dent in Sanders' lead. Looks like this one's a done deal.

I can't speak for other Sanders supporters, but as someone who doesn't expect Sanders to win the nomination, I'm just happy that pulled off such a surprise win. While Clinton is still the overwhelming favorite, even Clinton supporters should admit that Sanders is nothing to sneeze at.
