Bernie Sanders beats Hillary Clinton in stunning Michigan victory to keep presidential hopes alive

The Vermont senator had been as many as 30 points behind Hillary Clinton going into the vote

Bernie Sanders pulled off a stunning, surprise victory in Michigan - making up more than 30 points in the polls and energising his campaign with a new lease of life.

“I just want to thank the people of Michigan. We have repudiated the polls that said we were 25 points behind, we repudiated the pundits who said we were dead,” he said, speaking in Florida.

“Tonight means that the Bernie Sanders campaign, the people’s revolution, is strong in every part of the country.”


Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders clashed during the recent Democratic dewbate in Flint, Michigan.

Going into Tuesday’s night’s contest in Michigan, which carries 130 Democratic delegates, the Vermont senator had been running as far as 30 points behind Ms Clinton in some polls.

But after a debate on Sunday night in which comments made by Ms Clinton may have backfired, and after making a strident effort to eat into the African American vote that normally turns out for the former secretary of state, Mr Sanders was able to claim a genuine upset.

All the polls were predicting that Hillary would win.  However, the turnout was huge, they even ran out of ballot papers and people were told to go away and come back later.  Most of them so no way, they were going to wait.  I think they had visions of being conned out of their vote.

Michigan was supppsed to go to Clinton. If Ohio, Illinois and Floroda turn out the same way this race is flipped on its head.

Hilary only dominates in Republican states- absolutely useless in a General Election anyway.
