Sanders puts up a fight!

"There are a few other possible factors at work. For one: Clinton voters, assuming she was a lock to win, might have felt less urgency to vote. Some, exit polls suggest, even might have crossed over to the Republican primary instead to vote against Trump."

          The brief article touches of a major discrepancy on the latest polls taken in Michigan.  The result anticipated that Hillary would wing the primary by an overwhelming lead, this however was not the case.  Bernie actually won the state by a narrow lead.  According to the polls previous to the elections, Clinton was the anticipated victorious candidate whom would take Michigan under her wing- but who exactly was asked to participate in these polls? And where were they on election day?
          This is actually a very pleasant surprise yet a bit scary at the same time.  This particular piece I selected mentions of Hillary supporters assuming she would win, and of the others that instead want to make sure Trump was not triumphant. But did that actually work? Trump still has the lead! If this is indeed what happened in Michigan,  it should be a wake up call for all those whom continue to take Trump as a joke.  On the pleasant side, I have become a Bernie supporter- though still a bit hesitant about some of his promises, in my opinion, he truly is the best choice we got.  Learning that he actually has a higher chance than anticipated by the polls, gives me hope and pushes me to urge others to make their vote count.
