I don't actually think it's productive to debate whether Bernie would have won or not. I can think one thing and another person can think another, and we can argue forever and it'll achieve virtually nothing. What I will absolutely assert is that, on paper, there's no reason why Bernie Sanders, a socialist Jew from the second least-populous state in the nation, should be so successful, so he must be doing something that resonates with a lot of people! He's acknowledging that people feel abandoned by the system and he's demanding that something be done about that. Demanding change has been the source of all the biggest political success stories since Barack Obama. If the DNC can't recognize the power in that, then they're never going to get anywhere.
