There’s this exhaustingly dumb conspiracy theory that Bernie somehow had very broad popular support despite all polls saying otherwise. Bernie didn’t have the numbers.
Though blacks, Hispanics, women and moderate voters consistently support either Democratic candidate when faced with Trump as the Republican alternative, there are two significant groups that Sanders wins over by much larger margins than Clinton and help him beat Trump by double digits: Republicans under 30 and Independents who do not lean toward either party.
I highly doubt these Republicans (and Republicans but too ashamed to admit it) would have done anything other than fall in line like they always have during election season.
Agreed. I just wish the democratic candidates were better.
2016 showed how ineffective primaries are. The 2020 modifications are lipstick on a pig.

Bernie didn’t have the numbers because he didn’t have the DNC support, the media support or the pre-assigned superdelegate support.
However, he did have the numbers to beat Trump which is what really counts.
He had the Republican numbers rofl

I think you underestimate how many Republicans dislike Trump.
