him to so the hacking would have occurred and somehow Putin would have been able to embarrass Bernie, and Putin still hacks the voting machines like he obviously did in several states.

Hillary did not lose those 3 states and there sure as shit were not 70,000 democrats who voted down ticket and not for president in Detroit as the results show.

who would have voted for Bernie, and had reasons to vote for Bernie, but just wouldn't vote for Hillary. And some of those ended up voting for Trump.

It would have been a landslide against Trump had Bernie won the Primaries.

(Basing this on all my calls during the primaries and general election and all my face-to-face interactions.)

I supported Bernie, too, and maybe he would have won and maybe he wouldn't. It doesn't matter now, so let's stop fighting this battle like that old Japanese guy who was hiding out on Guam for 30 years after WWII was over. Move on. Fight Trump.

About 2%. Right on target. They showed Bernie at about 10-15% against Trump.

The truth is, she ran a great campaign and would have won in a fair fight. Bernie had less baggage and appealed heavily to the small minority of voters who handed Trump the election. He probably would have easily defeated Trump. Regardless, we will win handily in 2020 -should we run with the right message. And should our elections remain free.
