Overall, Clinton won the election. By around 3 Million votes.
Sanders would have lost any election to any candidate. He was ahead of his time...or behind it. At any rate, he was an anachronism. His connection to socialism disqualified him for the presidency in the eyes of Democrats and Republicans alike.
Vermont just keeps electing him to keep him out of Vermont.
Clinton was never a bad candidate, she didn't campaign poorly, she's a decent likable person who won millions more votes than Donald Trump. She would have been a good president.
Only an electoral fluke gave the presidency to Trump. Certainly not the American voters, they never expected Trump to win...he was just a protest vote against business as usual in Washington by an electorate ignored by Washington in favor of corporate interests.
