Also the DNC did a huge screw job on Bernie with Donna Brazille handing Hillary debate questions beforehand and superdelegates declaring for Hillary before anything even started.

They had an opponent file on Sanders that was two feet thick. They would have raked him over the coals with the same bullshit lies they pulled on Clinton. And it all would have come down to this.
Which would have been enough for most of the assholes who voted for the WLB to begin with.
I'm not sure what that would be. He consistently votes for and proposes things that would help the American people. Trump couldn't say he's crooked. Opponents have tried to dig up dirt on Bernie's divorce but his ex basically said "We're still friends, leave me alone." He could say he's an extremist, but republicans say that about centrists.
Bernie recently got a crowd in the deep south cheering for single payer healthcare. People under 50 tend to not care that he calls himself a Socialist, and some think it's a good thing.
