Michigan boosted Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential bid, but four years later, the same state could either revive his campaign or relegate him to the role of protest candidate.   Michigan and five other states hold  presidential contests today  at a critical point in the Democratic race.   Retired Ripon College political scientist Marty Farrell says former Vice President Joe Biden is looking to cement his front-runner status after winning the most delegates during Super Tuesday last week.    “After Super Tuesday Biden certainly seems to have a lot of momentum,”  Farrell told WFDL news.  Farrell says  Sanders is in an urgent fight to turn things around as the primary calendar quickly shifts to other states in the coming weeks that could favor Biden and narrow his path to the nomination.  “Even though it won’t be over and something else could happen, but certainly if Bernie Sanders doesn’t win Michigan and get the preponderance of their delegates I think it’s not looking good for him.”
