Clinton Falters in Michigan; Trump is On His Way | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I am not sure Clinton can pivot to the left, as every fiber in her being believes in the DLC message and its relationship to Wall Street. In a race where one candidates wants to win at all costs and the other has a message that needs to get out at all costs, I will chose the message every time, because the other candidate is in it for themselves, not for the voters. She also still sounds snide in her stump speech. That works against Trump, who sounds worse, but not against fellow progressives.
Sanders can win if he dominates New York and California (no small task) and gets at least half the super-delegates to remember that being Democrat does not only mean making sure the Democratic candidate wins. Its time to separate the Democrats from the Republican-lite office holders.
The Trump surprise in Michigan was that Kasich did not do better. If Trump wins Ohio, Kasich is done. Rubio is already done and Cruz is not leaving. Rubio needs to get out now. I suspect our young first termer was encouraged to run (like Carson) as a contrast to Obama. The point has been made - Republicans should quit making contrasts - a move started with Sarah Palin and continued with Herbert Cain.
Obama was elected fair and square. He was competent and did a good job - despite GOP attempts to derail him. Of course, the GOP will never admit that. They just saw him as young and black. The only flaw in his presidency was that he had too many former Clintonites on his economic team - a lesson that is important to note when chosing the Democratic nominess as well.
