Why Sanders could--or couldn't--have won

9. Lots of things helped Trump win.

Including the fact that there was a Democratic primary at all, any challenge whatsoever to Hillary. That doesn't mean there should have been no primary.

Of all the things that went wrong for us, I think the fact that Trump quoted Sanders was not high on the list. Especially when Sanders himself was working to counter that by advocating strongly for Hillary.

Though ironically, talking about how the system favors the rich and powerful may be one of the very few kernels of truth to come out of Trump's mouth during the campaign.
