    No, the GOP would have attacked him as a communist, still suppressed Black votes and still lied. The only possibility is that the Bernie or Bust fools may have shown up and Hillary supporters would have also voted.

    But make no mistake, Bernie and his Legion of Fools cost the Democrats and gave the nation over to Trump. I won't forget that in '20. If Bernie runs I will do everything in my power to see that he loses, including voting for a 2nd Trump term.

    Polls consistently showed that Sanders would beat Trump and do better against him than Clinton. Granted, the presidential election showed that the polls can be wrong. However, Sanders beat Clinton where Clinton lost to Trump - in the primaries of Wisconsin and Michigan, also a number of blue states, like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Idaho.

    No; majority of people are not interested in socialism. Sanders himself said his policies would result in this upcoming generation having it seriously hard before they started working. If Sanders was the candidate, I think it would have been a landslide in favor of Trump.

    Absolutely. Hillary and the DNC took the wind out of my enthusiasm sail when Wasserman did it to Bernie. I voted for Hillary because Sanders asked me to.

    Yes. The states of Michigan and Wisconsin would have voted for Bernie.

    Yes. People loved Bernie. Nobody loved Hillary except for the elite Democrats.

    No. America might be ready for a black president, or a female president, but they are not ready for an openly Socialist president (although that is what they got with Obama).
