Besides the odd couple of Saginaw County precincts, Wayne, and thus Detroit, is the last major pro-Clinton area on the map (seeing as how Oakland County has fully reported with a 8k+ vote win for Clinton). This means that most of the rest of her support is coming out of there.

Honestly Sanders winning Michigan is the best thing to happen to me in a while. The only thing that could make this night any better would be if 1) Sanders reaches viability in every MS congressional district, and B) if Sanders somehow wins Flint's county (seeing as how it is back to a slight Clinton lead). Honestly, the water crisis in Flint is so atrocious to me, and the fact that it permeated every level of that stupid governorship, that I hope Rick Snyder is not only recalled, but is jailed for murder.

Do you at least give her some credit for bringing it up?

God yes. I don't post as veraciously on this forum as others, because most of the time I have nothing to add. And I pride myself on that. I try not to be a hack, or if I am, I try to support what I am saying. No matter what other people say, Clinton has earned the respect and votes she has gotten. None of her voters were "conned" or "duped" into picking the wrong person. I support Sanders because I see his positions on healthcare, the minimum wage, and infrastructure (as well as other things if I was taking more time to think about them) as better than Clinton's, but I don't believe that she is a bad person. Rather than say f*** those stupid Southern black voters, I find it frustrating that Sanders did nothing to reach out to them. If I was ever running for president and won on the backs of only one group, I would be greatly saddened as it would have shown that I could not get my message to those people. In fact, if Sanders wins this primary race by 51-49 but only leads among whites and looses blacks by a 70-30 margin (or worse), I honestly see that as more of a tragedy then loosing 51-49 with 49% support among every single group.

TL;DR: Yes, and I have great admiration for Clinton and her campaign.

Just got back up and noticed Sanders has dipped below 50%. Still a substantial lead, but it looks like another state will have the winning candidate without a simple majority. Also, the remaining 29 precincts are all in Flint's county of Genesee.
