Not sure if we can assume much about Bernie's viability based on the last election..... if that is what you are referring to.
We had so many different factors in play, first, and I believe foremost, two very unfavorable main candidates.
That is HUGE.
Hillary was the most "normal" on the surface, but her deeds of cheating went way too far, circumventing the every votes counts equally, as it should. The super delegates have to go, as well.
Trump garnered all sorts of votes, even did better that Mitch with the women and minorities, but I think it was a anti Hillary vote, not a endorsement of him, but we must also factor in Mitch ran against a Black man, that was surely a consideration, as well.
Trump won mostly because he wasn't Hillary, and the push back against DC, and PC is huge and growing, not because he was viable. Folks still don't like the guy personally.
Bernie caught a lot of those who could not vote for either of those two idiots. That was a big number too.
Just too many aberrations in that election to take much away from it.....
I think if Liz Warren keeps clean from the $$$$$, and can explain herself re: policies, etc, she can possible be a very strong choice. I liked the fact she kept away from Clinton until the very end, her support was very weak of that Clinton apparatus..... Only when it became apparent of a Trump or a Clinton, was she forced to choose.
I read a lot into that. She will need to stay far away from the Clinton effective's in the DNC, that is a cancer.
