Imagine being excited about Joe Biden.

[Calthrina950]

It is over for Bernie Sanders. Absolutely over. His last chance at winning the Presidency has gone down the drain. Biden is going to coast to the nomination after tonight.

ABC NEWS CALLS MICHIGAN FOR BIDEN.

[Horus]

Bernie has done a great job over the past five years of moving the party in a better direction. It's a shame he won't be the nominee, but Biden is far better than neocon billionaires like Bloomberg or fake woke "progressive in all the wrong places" tools like Gillibrand. He polls well, and if he surrounds himself with the right people, has a decent shot at winning in November.

[Gracile]

The real question here is: Does Biden's strength in the WWC/Rural Dem counties translate to the general? If so, Trump is done.

Not necessarily, especially when you consider that primary turnout this time around in certain areas has remained stagnant or decreased from 2016 - a sign that some former self-identified Democrats have left the party. Biden doesn't have these voters locked in.

Excited to unite behind Joe Biden!

Also, 10% of precincts counted in MS, Sanders still under 15%.

[SN2903]

Bernie will stay in till Biden gets enough delegates.

Seems like way too many of you are trying to extrapolate Primary performances to general elections

Remember, trump crapped the mattress in Iowa and WI

Michigan is going to far surpass 2016 primary turnout.

But conversely, Biden's strength in suburban areas thus far suggests that he could improve Hillary Clinton's performance in those regions. Nevertheless, I still hold to my view that the general is a 50/50 proposition.

Why not? If anything Clinton underperformance in midwest carried into the general.

Republican turnout is always consistently high because they always vote for the nominee regardless of the primary. The same is not said for the Democratic electorate which is likewise the reason they do worse in midterms as well.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

He did it.

Joe f****ng did it.

The revolution is CANCELLED!

[Holmes]

I’m mostly interested in whether turnout increases or decreases in rural/northern Michigan compared to 2016. It’s a given urban and suburban turnout will be higher. With counties 100% in, looks like turnout is about the same but the absentee ballots are a big question mark so... maybe turnout will be higher?

[ProudModerate2]

CNN and NYT have approx the same number of votes for each candidate in Michigan, but CNN says "54% in" while NYT says "31% reporting."
Does anyone know why this figure is so far off between the two?

[Roronoa D. Law]

Where's Cenk?

[tinman64]

NYT has called Michigan for Biden.

Good night, sweet Prince Bernie! Parting is...well, great!

[musicblind]

I feel bad for Sanders supporters.

I've been in their shoes. It's an awful feeling.

The biggest take away for young Sanders supporters SHOULD be, "Get your friends to vote, dammit."

[Green Line]

The Democratic Party has rejected socialism.  Socialists - be gone.

[NOVA Green]

That's a wrap. I'm off to bed.

Not going to stay up for Washington State, and then possibly be up until 3:00 AM EST, if it's a close election for vote counting to stop until tomorrow AM?

I for one am super excited to have a presumptive nominee that polls really well against Trump. The last 3.5 years haven't been great for my relatives whose lives depend on the Obamacare protections Trump and the Republicans have been trying (and nearly succeeding) to take away.
