In reply to the discussion: What The Stunning Bernie Sanders Win In Michigan Means [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)29. LIAR! You didn't eat humble pie because Bernie made you. You ate it because you attempted to
create victories for Hillary by publishing prophesies that you hoped you would be self-fulfilling. Bernie didn't make you do that. Hell, he would have much preferred that you had not been doing that.
P.S. Clinton upset Obama in NH only because she cried over a question about her hair or something equally superficial. As much crap as Bernie gets about his hair, he did not upset her in Michigan because he cried over it. In fact, he probably didn't even upset her. Your numbers were off. That does not equal an electoral upset.
Thanks, Uncle Joe!

If the data doesn't include what is already off the conventional radar it is impossible to see it.

Nate has so much egg on his face that he asked someone else to eat his humble pie for him.
