Personally, I do believe Sanders would’ve gotten more votes than Hillary, I can’t say how many more, though. There are definitely a lot of reasons why Trump won, but I’d be willing to bet that a sizable portion of them are under the umbrella of Hillary. I don’t doubt that the ‘socialism’ thing would’ve been a major hurdle; and it’s a bit of a shame, since I think both sides are really misunderstanding the term (Bernie calls himself a Democratic Socialist, and to some people, Socialism instantly springs Communist regimes to mind). On the other hand, I think he would’ve run a very good issue-focused campaign.

Honestly, I think Hillary’s irrelevant at this point, and she should stay that way. To some, it seems like she’s preparing to run again in 2020, but I think the best thing she could do for the country is just not. It’s clear that she hasn’t matured or learned anything since November, so she’d really just be handing the election to Trump, and I don’t want that to happen.
