Not even Donald Trump could top Bernie Sanders in Michigan. Much to the pollsters' surprise, Sanders edged out Hillary Clinton in a narrow but decisive victory in a delegate-rich state that was supposed to be hers. Sanders was in fact the only candidate in Michigan's primary, from either party, to receive 50% of the vote.

Clinton, who was projected to win by up to 27%, ended up losing by 2%. Sanders turned out 100,000+ more voters than the other outsider, Donald Trump.
