[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 36229, member: 33"] You're not the only Bernie supporter that likes to hold on to the thought that your candidate would have beaten Trump had he been chosen over Hillary but I really don't think he would have. Other candidates that were sympathetic to Bernie's views also failed to get elected. For example, Russ Feingold who ran for US senate in Wisconsin was a champion of Bernie’s issues and was endorsed by Bernie who also fundraised for him. Feingold lost to his big business Republican rival by 3.4% in a state that was nearly 90% white which was a demographic that went for Bernie was supposedly able to reach better than Hillary. Hillary also lost in Wisconsin but by only 0.8%, so I don't think there was much evidence there that Bernie would have done better than her. The swing was against the Democratic Party as much, if not more than, it was as it was against Hillary personally and I don't think that Bernie could have turned the tide. [/QUOTE]
