I've said it before and I'll say it again (it's what we do on Mudcat political threads😉): Bernie Sanders wouldn't have stood a cat in hell's chance against Trump's populism. Never in a million years in a country in which "commie," "left-wing" and "socialist" are dirty words. In hindsight, as Clinton lost, his campaign would have been far more civilised and might just have changed a few things in the long run. But there was no way he could have beaten Trump. Dream on.
