Look, it's really not going to matter much who the Democrats nominate. They'll be elected. Why would Republicans turn out to support a guy who has a better chance of beating Trump than Biden does? And how would you know? Surely Republicans who hate the media and don't trust the polls wouldn't take a risk like that and wind up accidentally voting for a guy who will beat Trump in November

The Republicans helped Bernie get as high as 19% - he should have gotten much lower than that.
