We do know that Bernie was the only major candidate who never had to endure even a complete 24 hour negative news cycle - we saw how the support of Carson, Cruz, Bush and Rubio collapsed after negative scrutiny dominated the headlines for multiple days.

I find it hard to believe Sanders would have benefited from having controversial moments from his past become front page news for a week.

In fact, Sanders received the most favorable coverage of any Democrat or Republican running etherealtruth Jun 2016 #14

Did it point out that her unfavorable press was due to her work in government? George Eliot Jun 2016 #19

I was far more interested in the failure of the press to treat Trump like anything but a celebrity, etherealtruth Jun 2016 #24
