I'm now more fully convinced than EVER that NO Dem was going to win the 2016 GE. Bernie's unfavorables would have gone UP had he been the Dem nominee because the Nazi Bannon was going to "vet" him, and it wouldn't have been nice. Bernie would have spent the whole rest of the campaign combating the lies and other horrible and more than likely racist things Bannon was going to throw at him, and we know that the media probably would have given him less coverage STILL even though the Dem nominee because they were too busy giving tRumputin $2 billion in free air time because he was good for ratings as Les Moonves said over at CBS, so when would Bernie have had time to get HIS message out? I guess during the debates in which the moderators allowed tRumputin to lie his ass off. But then again, the fix/rig was in at that point. All of the voter purging, voter cross-checking, voter disenfranchisement/voter suppression, 800 polling stations closing in NC, shenanigans in Michigan, WI, PA., russian cyber/hacking (And whatever else they were probably doing to the voting machines/voter rolls) and fake news would have befallen Bernie as well. He wouldn't have been spared just because he was not Hillary Clinton. I'd have voted for Bernie in an incapacitated state over that vile thing tRumputin, but make no mistake about it--NO Dem was going to win the 2016 GE.
