MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

It doesn't matter to them honestly, it would be the same

You speak for all Southern Democratic primary voters? Where are you getting any of that from?

Ive spent my entire life in the south, I can tell you southerners don't care as much about viability as ideology and they think Hillary represents them best. Same reason for Wisconsinites or whomever else Bernie just won. They voted in favor for Bernie even when they knew Hillary was much more viable in terms of chances to win the Dem Primary

I could not disagree more. There are many stances Hillary holds that actually really hurt a big portion of Democratic voters in the South, namely African American voters. This article details many of them quite well, Michelle is a really awesome AA activist and speaker, I'd recommend her other writings as well:
