"What if" games don't do much now, but I think Sanders would have also had a good chance of losing. His messaging about the economy and his "anti-establishment" stance would have done better at keeping Wisconsin and Michigan, he could have come closer in Iowa, though I doubt he would even do as well as Hillary in Pennsylvania. Older folks are frightened of Socialism, and Trump would have used that as his Trump Card. (Lol). Bernie would also suffer in Nevada and Virginia due to the lack of connections with the minority community. Clinton had a shot with the Southern States, though lost all of them. She got more votes in Florida than Obama, but unfortunately it wasn't enough to offset the non-college whites.

I had a feeling something funny was happening in Michigan though, ever since the primaries. More Republicans voted in the Michigan Rep. Primary than the Democrats in the Michigan Dem Primary, should have rang some alarm bells. I know, it's just the primary, but that shouldn't be happening in a state that has been Lean Democratic for a few decades.
