Fly over country? That's country where most Dems aren't viable. Bernie is one of the few who has any chance there at all. Bernie is popular in deeply red places like West Virginia. You aren't thinking clearly. In 2016, Bernie would almost have certainly delivered the rustbelt. The rustbelt didn't go for Trump because they loved Trump. They went for Trump because they wanted to shake things up, and were sick to death of the New Dems. Bernie was a candidate that would have appealed to them, and still does.
Do you live in a deep blue area? You talk like someone who does. People in deep blue areas have an impression of what people think in fly over country that is pretty off base. Left leaning populism has a lot of appeal there.
I live in fly over country. Bernie had almost no appeal here.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
