    Trump’s whole thing ran off of anti-establishment energy, without even being anti-establishment. Bernie was the real thing, and would have been drawing from the same energy.

    He’d have won.

      Bernie’s candidacy, and occasionally when AOC speaks up loud enough to make the news, are the only times my right-tilted family and acquaintances have ever seemed impressed by anything of the left.

      Yes, Bernie would’ve won. That’s why the Democratic Party blocked him.
