28. The figures in post #5 indicate that it is likely Sanders would have won.

Post #5 shows that more voters switched from Sanders to Trump in these states than the number Trump won by. If Sanders had been the nominee, those voters would not have had to switch. Change where even half of those votes go (actually even less), and Dems win those three states, and the electoral college. Then the only way Trump still wins is if enough Hillary voters in other states defect to Trump... which is not likely.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

All the data shows is that a number of BS primary voters chose Trump in the general. lapucelle Jul 2019 #31

re: "Who they would have voted for if BS had made it to the general is sheer speculation. " thesquanderer Jul 2019 #32
