MITCHELL Jeremy you spent ░░░░░░░░ lot of time in ░░░░░░░░ What is your reporting ░░░░░░░░ why that vote was ░░░░░░░░ different from four years ░░░░░░░░ PETERS Andrea I really ░░░░░░░░ it comes down to ░░░░░░░░ fact that Democratic voters ░░░░░░░░ petrified of the possibility ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump could be ░░░░░░░░ elected This really unlike ░░░░░░░░ I have seen in ░░░░░░░░ presidential campaigns that I ░░░░░░░░ covered has jolted them ░░░░░░░░ almost this strategic sense ░░░░░░░░ have about their voting ░░░░░░░░ are no longer interested ░░░░░░░░ these theoretical discussions about ░░░░░░░░ type of party the ░░░░░░░░ Party should be how ░░░░░░░░ it should be what ░░░░░░░░ it should stand for ░░░░░░░░ re focused on one ░░░░░░░░ and that s denying ░░░░░░░░ Trump a second term ░░░░░░░░ don t believe Bernie ░░░░░░░░ is the one who ░░░░░░░░ capable of delivering on ░░░░░░░░ So if they re ░░░░░░░░ that excited about voting ░░░░░░░░ be Joe Biden they ░░░░░░░░ going to still do ░░░░░░░░ Michigan s results last ░░░░░░░░ shows us that Bernie ░░░░░░░░ didn t carry a ░░░░░░░░ county in Michigan and ░░░░░░░░ s pretty extraordinary I ░░░░░░░░ it s explained by ░░░░░░░░ fact that 2016 certainly ░░░░░░░░ know was an anti ░░░░░░░░ vote in Michigan But ░░░░░░░░ type of repudiation of ░░░░░░░░ Sanders there by voters ░░░░░░░░ shows you how seriously ░░░░░░░░ re taking this election.”
