Yes, Bernie Sanders would have beaten Trump, but the real question is

[NanceGreggs]

71. I have never claimed that Hillary won the election.

We all know she lost. What I have pointed out is that she won the popular vote, which is demonstrative of the will of the voters – as opposed to the technicality of the EC vote. The “winner”, on the other hand, had more people vote against him than for him.

If you want to dismiss the voice of the voters as somehow irrelevant, that’s up to you.

“… it's time you started facing reality instead of getting so upset whenever someone speculates about Bernie Sanders chances, had he been the candidate.”

Uhmm, apparently I’m not the one who’s “upset” here. Bernie became irrelevant to me a very long time ago. I’m not the one posting endless OPs about how Bernie, Bernie, BERNIE!!! would have won this – fer sure!!!!!!”

“Any other candidate would likely have beaten a despicable candidate like Trump in both the popular vote AND the electoral college and probably trounced him in the popular vote by at last 10 million votes, not 2.8 million.”

Thanks for proving my point about embellishments to the fable. It’s always easy to talk about “what might have been” when it is all based on something that never happened. Such speculation requires no factual basis, nor any consideration of facts already in evidence; e.g. Bernie couldn’t even win the nomination.

” I realize it's hard to believe that anyone could lose to that orange moron.”

Given gerrymandering, voter suppression, so-called “progressives” voting third party out of butt-hurt, and the able assistance of Comey and Putin, it’s really not all that hard to believe at all.

But again, those are facts that don’t figure into the fairytale, do they? In the fairytale, the GOP does oppo-research on Bernie – and find nothing to use against him! The man is a saint! Putin, swayed by the integrity of St. Bernie – along with being scared to death of his YUGE following – immediately decides to call-off any operations to put Trump in the Oval Office.

How about we have Bernie winning the GE with 122% of the popular vote, and an unprecedented 2,427 electoral votes? It is, after all, a fairytale – so let’s go big or go home.
