I actually said this months ago.. the left laughed at me.

They are both protectionists..

The problem with your scenario, is Sanders wouldnt have pulled those who voted for Clinton, just because they wanted to see a female vote.. He also, wouldnt have been so underhanded, and had the media in his pocket to start the bs stories that Clinton pushed as a narrative, which so many, clearly fell for..

So you are ignorant?

Majority in U.S. Support Idea of Fed-Funded Healthcare System | Gallup

According to polls, even the majority of REPUBLICANS believe the US economic system favors the wealthy!

He would. He crushed Trump in working class states like Michigan and Wisconsin by around 15-20 points according to polls, far higher than Clinton!

He not only carried the minorities, naturally, but also a huge chunk of the white working class, because he is beholden to no one but the 99%. Breaking up the big Wall Street banks that crashed the economy is definitely supported by the white working class.

Thats ridiculous. The leftie feminists would definitely vote for Sanders over Trump! Same with all minorities and also the independents and white working class in rust belt states that Clinton struggles with.

I would have voted for Bernie possibly and I'm in a rust belt area and not a blue collar worker. Hillary? No way. She deserves to lose.

Well we found out that he was beholden to Clinton. Wikileaks released e-mails that say they had "leverage" over him that they used to reign in some of his criticism of her.

Right Bernie and Trump both wanted to repeal the ACA. Bernie wanted single payer. It was a popular idea.
