My view that Senator Sanders would have been elected president has been deemed absolute fantasy, and of course there is no way for me to prove that I am right. I think, however, that the results from Michigan support my view. HRC lost Michigan by fewer than 12,000 votes.There were 89,000 Michigan voters who went to the polls and voted for all measures except the presidential race. These voters found all the candidates unacceptable, but I believe they would have found Sanders acceptable. Why do I believe that? Well for starters HRC was favored by the pollsters in Michigan by between 8 and 20 points, but lost to Sanders in the primary. Michael Moore, who knows more about voters in Michigan than most of us, said that he believed that Donna Brazile's dishonesty played a crucial part in HRC's defeat. The woman who asked the question (already supplied to HRC) was on TV the week before the election saying that she had been duped and played for a fool. The question was quite predictable, but it was the 2nd time Donna had provided a question, so it played into the image that HRC was dishonest, and that image had already been polished by Comey. Whether or not I'm right, the DNC needs to clean house and be whisker clean in the 2018 election and Democrats need to offer real change.
