Bernie Sanders Sees Michigan Win as a Springboard to the Nomination
By YAMICHE ALCINDOR and PATRICK HEALY

(Mar. 12, 2016) — MIAMI — Convinced that his surprising victory in Michigan represented a turning point, Senator Bernie Sanders and his advisers are maneuvering and spending aggressively to pull off a huge upset on Tuesday — a victory in the Ohio primary — by focusing on Hillary Clinton’s past support for trade deals that are deeply unpopular in the Midwest and other key states in his updated battle plans.

Sanders wins: Ohio judge rules 17-year-olds can vote on election day
By DANIEL STRAUSS, Politico

(Mar. 11, 2016 18:12 pm EST) — Sen. Bernie Sanders notched a potentially significant win on Friday evening when an Ohio judge issued an order, allowing 17-year-old voters to participate in the state’s presidential primary on Tuesday.

Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Frye ruled that 17-year-old voters who turn 18 by the day of the November election can vote in the primary, though not on ballot issues or for any contests that would actually elect someone to office.

RALEIGH, N.C. (Mar. 11, 2016 17:00) — Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders drew thousands of supporters to a rally in downtown Raleigh on Friday, four days before primary elections in North Carolina and four other states.

At least 1,000 people showed up who couldn’t get inside the 2,300-seat Memorial Auditorium, which was full. Sanders emerged on the steps of the venue and addressed the outside crowd before delivering his speech inside.

Protesters Just Shut Down the Donald Trump Rally for a Full 10 Minutes

(Mar. 11, 2016 13:44) — At least a dozen protesters at Donald Trump’s March 11 rally in St. Louis have been detained in a single coordinated protest inside the Peabody Opera House.

The action managed to shut down the rally for close to ten minutes — to Trump’s audible dismay. At one point, the chants of “USA” brought things to such a halt that Trump resorted to begging for police action.

Sanders: Trump should take responsibility for violence at rallies
By Harper Neidig, TheHill.com
(Mar. 10, 2016 20:03) — Bernie Sanders called on Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump to address an incident at one of his rallies where a black man was punched in the face. “No one in America should ever fear for their safety at a political rally,” Sanders, a Democratic candidate for the White House, said in a statement. “This ugly incident confirms that the politics of division has no place in our country. Mr. Trump should take responsibility for addressing his supporters’ violent actions.”

(Mar. 10, 2016 13:30 ET) — In its early months, Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign suffered from the impression that it was a protest candidacy more about discussing issues than about electing a president. More recently, it has looked more like a genuine effort to deny Hillary Clinton the nomination — an effort that seems likely to fail. But judged by that earlier standard, Sanders has been highly successful.

Here Are the Stocks to Buy if Bernie Sanders Becomes President
By Jeff Bukhari

Four sectors that could benefit.

(Mar. 9, 2016 18:53 EST) — Much like the way oil stocks surged under George W. Bush, and technology under Bill Clinton, a new president with a different set of priorities can greatly affect the fortunes of companies. Senator Bernie Sanders, a presidential candidate with many ideas far off the beaten path from most other U.S. politicians and a deep desire to reform and restructure the balance of power in the American economy, would change the game across a host of industries.

Bernie Sanders: ‘Stay Tuned … We Can Win This Thing’
by Amita Kelly, NPR

(Mar. 9, 2016 18:04 ET) — Bernie Sanders was the story of Tuesday night as he beat Hillary Clinton in Michigan’s Democratic presidential primary. It wasn’t a walloping — he won by less than 2 points — but still a big coup considering Clinton led in most polls by double digits before the race.

Michigan is Sanders’ ninth state win, though Clinton still leads in delegates overall.

Bernie Sanders Won the Americas Largest Arab Community by Being Open to Them

(Mar. 9, 2016, 16:32) — Bernie Sanders’ upset in the Michigan primary Tuesday can be attributed, in part, to a strong showing in Dearborn, Michigan, which has the largest concentration of Arab Americans in the nation. Sanders won almost 60 percent of the vote there, besting rival Hillary Clinton.

Apparently, something about Sanders resonated with residents.

Sanders camp sees opportunity as Southern state voting wraps
by Foxnews.com

(Mar. 9, 2016) — Bernie Sanders is showing no signs of slowing down after pulling off an upset victory in Michigan and sees an opportunity ahead to gain ground, as his campaign suggests one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest built-in advantages is about to become irrelevant.

To date, Clinton’s “firewall” of Southern states has delivered her a string of victories, most recently in Mississippi. Across the Deep South, black voters who make up a majority of the Democratic primary electorate there went overwhelmingly for Clinton.
