Next week's Democrat primaries are in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, N Carolina, Ohio.
Clinton should landslide it in N Carolina, win Florida comfortably and probably should take Illinois. Maybe Sanders has the edge in Missouri and possibly Ohio?
Still looks close for the Democrats. Macomb is going heavily for Clinton, as expected, and should on current trends deliver her 10,000 net, putting her marginally in front. But the suburbs and rural areas are going heavily for Sanders and quite a few still have to report. Wayne is the other downtown area, and the first 2% has Sanders a nose ahead there - more prosperous, more white, or just an untypical 2%?

Wayne county for Sanders is cancelling Macomb for Hillary.
I'm close to call Michigan for Sanders, what a surprise, oh Trump is preparing to speak.
Sanders now pulling away in Wayne with 6% counted. I wonder if DecisionDesk has got it wrong - Clinton can't win with (more or less) Macomb county alone.
Watch Trump versus 50% in Mississippi. Although you don't get the clean sweep, if you get that in each Congressional District (there are four) you sweep those delegates.

What's interesting is the guy on CNN was saying Wayne County was very African-American. I guess there's maybe a big difference between how pro-Clinton Southern blacks are compared to Northern blacks?

Starting to look like it, though we're still only on 14% in Macomb (where Clinton leads by 2%) and 7% in Wayne (where Sanders is ahead at present).

Macomb is majority african american yet she only leads by 2. And she is behind in Wayne which is hispanic heavy.
Mississippi is the last big blowout for Hillary. Terrain gets much better for Bernie now. If the whole black vote was a Dixie black vote thing......... WELL.
I'll call it for Sanders at this point. Hillary doesn't have enough margin in Macomb (2%), with 14% counted, and Sanders is winning nearly everywhere else.
Which leaves an interesting issue. I don't think Sanders has really been tested by a media assault like Clinton and Trump - he's got away with the "grumpy but lovable granddad" image, even though he has Corbynish things in his past which don't worry me but I'd think would turn off many US voters (e.g. he decided to take his honeymoon in the Soviet Union). Does Clinton start bashing him, and alienating his voters for the General, or does she keep her nerve?
Great night for Trump with comfortable victories in Mississippi and Michigan, on the Dem side looks like Sanders has scored an upset in Michigan, so he and the Donald must be the main winners of today's races, goodnight
I do hope Bernie holds now as I've just spent £50 reversing my big red POTUS on him (There are many more Michigans coming up than Mississippis) and have £19 to win £29.60 in MI.
Can analyse the Bernie/Hillary position properly tommorow, but Betfair tends to get carried away with this sort of thing
Trump comes to the stage in Jupiter for his press conference and he has displays of Trump Water, Trump Steaks, Trump Wine and Trump Magazine, all of which Romney said in his robocall were defunct. He also mentioned Trump University which will be restarted after the court case.
That's up there with his presentation to Rory last year - frustrated McIlroy throws his club in the lake. Trump hires a diver to retrieve it and makes a formal presentation to Rory on the tee the next day in a presentation box.
Campaign Carl Cameron gets good interplay with Trump.
Sanders is ahead by 12K, Hillary can close it by another 23K in Detroit. The pattern is that Sanders is increasing his lead slowly and Detroit closes it again.

Math says that Hillary will close that 22K Sanders lead with Detroit and over turn it by a margin of 2K, but Sanders will keep adding to his lead with areas outside of Detroit.

OK: Kasich, Cruz
Loser: Rubio
But keep an eye on Kasich in Michigan, Cruz may beat him for second.
If Kasich gets 3rd in Michigan, add him on the losers column.
Fox cannot project second place.
Trump 38%
Kasich 26.3%
Cruz 22.2%
Rubio 9%

There are no Deep South states with huge black populations left for Clinton. (EDIT: Well there's North Carolina, but apart from that....)
Trump 37.5
Cruz 26
Kasich 24
Rubio 8.5
Sanders 52
Hillary 47
Sanders is enjoying his final months in the spotlight - but at what cost?
It's still too early.
Clinton should landslide it in N Carolina, win Florida comfortably and probably should take Illinois. Maybe Sanders has the edge in Missouri and possibly Ohio?

He thanked Paul Ryan!!
And she is behind in Wayne which is hispanic heavy.
Bad news for Hillary.
Trump Steaks meanwhile in Florida.
Wayne just moved back a bit - now 53/46 Clinton - 19% in.
Trump thanks Charles Krauthammer!!
He is very generous with his defeated enemies tonight.

What an upset, I think it was the debate, he was aggressive against Hillary, and people like to be aggressive against those who they don't like.
"Lets come together"
If he had those numbers in S.Carolina he would have won.
Something changed in the democratic race, Sanders been a bit rude on Hillary in the debate may have given him some of the Trump factor.
Detroit is like as black as the south yet he is only a couple of points behind.

My model is working better for racial fit in MS than the polling model though !
We've only had data from Dixie so far....
If Sanders looked and sounded like JFK he would be winning all elections by a landslide.
"I think Lindsey Graham is a nice guy"
"I have no problem with Mitt Romney, I can get along with him"
The longer the war goes on the more damaged the GOP comes out of the primaries.
Clinton leading in Wayne 60/38 - with 46% in (57% in across whole state).
The pattern is that Sanders is increasing his lead slowly and Detroit closes it again.
20K now.
Hillary can still close it by 24K from Detroit.
