I’m more than willing to say Bernie would have won. Gives me more to laugh about.
Sanders was a communist clown. Stupid parasites wanted his free stuff. NOW THEY PAY US BACK for those leftist college feed bags. EVERY DAMNED DIME or we take their social security— And no bankruptcy. To bad you have no jobs— YOU should have thought of that. Not our problem!!
B-b-b-b-but Bernie was gonna take us to Disco-era Scandinavia, man!
Bernie Sanders was horribly wronged by the Clinton machine. They literally screwed him out of the Democrat nomination. Our brave Democrat Hamilton Electors owe it to the country to cast their electoral votes for Bernie.
No way Bernie could have beaten Trump, and I don’t think anyone else could have beaten Hillary. Maybe Huckabee, he’s beaten the Clintons before. But I doubt it.
JMHO
I have always thought that Hillary would have won if she had picked Bernie as her VP instead of Kaine.
I agree with the author that Bernie likely would have lost like Hillary—as I just don’t think the U.S. is ready for a full-blown, self-proclaimed socialist, much less one that old. I think the author is misunderstanding something though. The issue wasn’t that most working-class people harbor “hate for corporate interests.” I think they hate corporate backed corruption of politics of the sort that Hillary (but not Bernie) was involved in.
If Trump’s businessmen appointees start displaying signs of corruption and selling their office, then I’m sure they will turn on them too. If the businessmen use their experience to create more jobs and not deepen the swamp, then many in the working class will love them.
“The Bern” would have lost for most of the same reasons the beest lost.
Trump would not have lost to any of them or any combination of them. This was meant to be.
Bernie would have done better than hillary - he would have handled losing to trump much better.
Most of what I would call or consider “honest” Democrats are PO’d that Sanders was squeezed out of the nomination and are praying that Trump’s administration continues the investigation into her foundation lest she try to run again in 2020. A lot of them plugged their noses when they voted for her similar to what Republicans did with Romney, Dole and McCain.
