can anyone tell me why they think that Bernie sanders would have won the election? I hear a lot of people talk about how the dems just weren't progressive enough, but it seems to me that trump's win was more due to progressive laws (like the ACA) damaging small businesses and rural centers. I keep hearing how this is all the DNC's fault, or blaming race- or sexism, yet most of the intelligent posts on the subject are how the people who voted for Trump feel that many of Obamas policies weren't helping them.
So what gives? Are there any statistical analyses done that show that dems were turned off by Hillary rather than turned off by progressive values?
