the GOP machine -- and trump personally -- never turned their guns on Bernie, so it's impossible to say how he would have done as the democrat's nominee. it probably wouldn't have been very hard to scare middle America by depicting him as a looney pinko commie who wanted to make everything free with no means of paying for it. many people here get scared by the term socialist, and lots of them equate it with communism.
america has had some breakout progressive campaigners in the primaries, but they are in a very small number of already liberal districts. while there might be some growing energy in that wing of the party, I still can't see blue-collar voters in Michigan going for it.
