He did pretty well, but would he have done better if the DNC wasn’t totally in the bag for Hillary.
Akin to Trump I am not convinced that Bernie really wanted to be president and all that it entails. Rather I feel he was more interested in changing the dialogue and inserting some of his ideas that would then be embraced in the Democratic platform. I have no evidence of this other than a gut feeling.
I also feel Bernie’s motives were more noble than Trumps. Bernie really wants/wanted to see some changes enacted that would benefit downtrodden Americans, whereby what Trump seeks is solely to further enhance his brand. Us vs. me.
If through some miracle Bernie would have been elected and assumed office, he would have immediately rolled up his sleeves and gotten down to the grinding work of enacting policy, while The Donald would have just gazed at himself in the mirror, while telling himself how truly awesome he was. That is the main difference twixt the two.
