56. Saying that Sanders would have won the election is nothing but a fantasy with not facts to support

it.

Sanders lost the nomination because millions more voters voted for Hillary. That's a simple fact, simple math. If he could no motivate enough people to vote for him to get the nomination, what would anyone think that he'd get enough votes to win the GE? And I'm talking factual reasoning, not anecdotes.

Sanders was not vetted. Hillary treated him with kid gloves. Yet he had quite a bit of baggage. You think that the GOP wouldn't have been able to create a smear campaign against him in a matter of weeks? Rightly or wrongly they would have painted him as a commie-loving socialist dead-beat dad who never had a real job until he was 40 years old and then had a long but mediocre career in congress. And that would have just been the tip of the iceberg. Let's not even think what they would have done with Jane and her Burlington college mess.

Sanders would have been trounced in the GE. That would have been the only realistic outcome.
