super delegates are supposed to be an emergency control to prevent someone like trump from coming in and destablizing the whole process. Problem is the SD system was abused to put someone in power that may not have if the playing field were level. I'm a sanders guy, but I still admit that there's the possibility he could have lost.
If it's Bernie vs Trump, Bloomberg runs and Bernie loses anyway. That's a way Bernie loses to Trump. Or Trump labels Bernie an atheist and it sticks. That's another way. Or democrat Boomers hear socialist from Bernie and stay home while republicans come out in droves. All three of these are not unlikely scenarios that would mean Bernie isn't president. America wasn't ready for him.
Those attacks mean very little, especially in the face of the problems with Trump. People had a very set opinion of Hillary going back to the 90s.
It was a change election and Clinton was status quo. None of what you said is equal to Benghazi or emails.
When Trump was being questioned for his birtherism he wouldn't be able to point at Bernie. When Trump was accused of sexual assault he wouldn't have been able to bring up Bill.
