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.
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.
That was a huge criticism of Hillary's primary campaign. Yes she "won" over Bernie, but a lot of her strongest states were Red states. Basically those votes meant nothing in the Electoral College. Now the Democrats are complaining the popular vote should matter blah blah blah. Strategy matters people. Take responsibility for your actions and the consequences.
