Let's look at yesterday's Michigan primary results. First of all, the uncommitted protest vote against Biden's Gaza policy had a respectable showing -- but! Close but no cigar: The uncommitted total was about 13%, only a little higher than the 2012 uncommitted vote for Obama, and didn't meet the 15% threshold to earn a delegate at the Democratic convention. It does show room for debate in the Democratic party, and I'm glad to see productive pressure on the White House.

But it is a general rule of politics that when you come at the king, Rashida Talib, you'd best not miss.

Pollsters, as usual (looking at you, 538!), were bigly wrong. Trump is substantially underperforming expectations, with 68.1% against 26.5% for Nikki Haley:

For some much needed perspective, this analysis of tonight’s Michigan primary results is a must watch - especially the remarks about the ‘uncommitted’ vote.
