Primary results tonight show that Michigan is going to be very close in a Clinton vs. TRUMP general. We can safely say that TRUMP will pick up Bernie's working class whites.
No, you can't say that safely, at least yet.
I expect Hillary Clinton to do everything possible to solidify the working-class white votes that Sanders got that Obama could not. She needs a coalition for victory, and she will need those Sanders voters to win election, flip the Senate, and maybe even flip the House.
Obama did horribly among working-class white voters, especially in the South. Maybe that's because he is... well, you know.
But he did very well with the working class whites in the North. She is just doing badly with them.
That's what I have been telling you for the last six months or so. She will do worse with the working class whites in the North than Obama. And that's where the working class whites actually count.
