this was the ongoing concern from the dem party during the primaries--the concern that, with a surging Trump and his likely nomination, he will pivot and be normal. Thus, we can not nominate Sanders because he would never survive a relentless and focused attack on his "socialism." Any other repub candidate, and I think that would have been true.
we well know now that Trump is just too easily triggered, legitimately uneducated, lazy, and completely ambivalent to the world outside of his sphere, that he would have never been able to stay on point to take down Sanders. I think a large part of the "chaos voters" that support Trump simply because they hate politicians (or so they say--that could very well be a convenient excuse to hide bigotry) would flock to Sanders instead. But it's always hard to argue about situations that can never be known. At the very least, it is pretty clear that Bernie certainly would not be doing any worse than Clinton against citizen Trump.
