This article at CNN ask that question, while throughly taking every opportunity to knock Trump, lol!
However, that does not diminish the importance of the question, would Bernie had won if Clinton had not corrupted the election.
I believe he would have based on just two factors.
1. The choice was driven mostly by an "anti" Washington sentiment.
Bernie would have benefited from that energy.
2. Folks had to choose between the lessor of two evils, when it came to deciding. Neither of the two finalists were viewed favorably when it came to trust.
I do not think either two of my observations would have saddled Bernie.
Yes, his socialist ideas would have been a hurdle, but doable, when you convince the deplorable how they would benefit by removing some of the favorable policies that the "rich" experience at the cost of the middle class, etc.
Also, he would have got the Jill Stein vote for sure, and that alone could have steered the outcome to him.
I don't believe he will ever mount another chance in 3 years, as his age is a factor, and the democrat party will be pushing the old timers out.
Who they field is another topic all together, as they will need a person who appeals to more than just New York and LA, etc.
