I don’t think so. I mean, I liked Bernie more than Hillary, but I think most of America would have seen him as some fringe commie, so I don’t think either Dem could have beat Trumpy.
I disagree about Bernie. I think he had a very good chance of winning, but the DNC wanted Hillary and pushed the “he can’t win” narrative until everyone believed it, at which point it became true.
I don’t think Bernie could have won.
The caveat is I didn’t think Trump could win and he did, what the hell do I know? But he would have been painted as the mayor of crazytown who wanted to give all your money away.
Maybe I should say I don’t think he would have had any better chance than Hillary did.
Bernie had a lot of progressive supporters that refused to support Hillary once he was out, though. I dunno. We’ll never know for sure.
