    If Biden is the nominee (as is highly likely) his campaign needs to pay attention to stuff like this. Maybe Biden's good performance in suburbs and rural areas (over Clinton and Sanders) will make up for this, but the big cities really, really important.https://twitter.com/adam_brew/status/1237806820443504642 …

        It does seem important that, despite statewide turnout rising significantly (from 1.2 million to 1.5 million) turnout in Detroit went in the other direction, however narrowly.

        The city of Detroit isn’t that big anymore. Fewer than 700K of the metro area’s 2.5M people.

        that tweet seems a little deceptive: "Nearly 1.6 million people cast ballots on the Democratic side Tuesday. That is almost 380,000 more than four years ago — a 31% increase."https://www.woodtv.com/news/elections/democrats-buoyed-by-high-turnout-in-michigan-primary/amp/?__twitter_impression=true …

        Yeah, Michigan turnout is higher but Detroit is lower, which is a problem because Democrats usually do much better in big cities than suburbs or rural areas.

        Jeet: Biden lost PA the moment he said he was going to 'regulate' fracking more, which any rational person knows will become a ban. If Trump hangs onto FL, NC, and OH, the election outcome is decided.

        Seems like trump would have a hard time winning big cities, but what do I know.
