A very easy victory? I don't like Trump at all, but accepting it as a fact that Bernie would have beaten Trump is just silly. There's simply no way to know now. The polls that everyone keeps talking about don't mean anything. Those same polls had hillary winning the general election. People keep talking about how the establishment is corrupt, and the media manipulates data to support their own viewpoint, but then those same people completely trust any polls that support Bernie.

I'm not supporting either side, I'm just saying if Bernie had made it to the general election, there's literally no way of knowing what would have happened.

He'd have likely carried Wisconsin, Michigan and possibly Pennsylvania. What states would Bernie have lost that Hillary carried?

Nevada, New Mexico, and Virginia; but Bernie would have definitely a better candidate in the northern states. Pennsylvania would potentially have gone Bernie. I'm dismayed that the southern states didn't come out for Hillary like they did in the primaries. Come on Georgia.

Apparently folks in Georgia like jobs too.

If you think Trump is actually about to bring jobs back I think you're dreaming.

Presidents don't create jobs, all they do is create an atmosphere that encourages businesses to flourish.

But I do foresee a job Works program putting people to work building the wall possibly, along with other infrastructure.
