This is true too, but after everything that happened in this election cycle, I just don't think democrats / the media will allow Bernie to win. His message runs directly contrary to their own bottom line, I truly believe the democratic party would rather try it's hand with a much weaker "establishment" candidate like Kaine or something, even if early polling shows them losing to Trump in 2020 and Bernie still crushing him. He'll NEVER get the backing of the mainstream media nor the democratic party, and that might just be too big of a hurdle to jump at the time being. I'd rather he backs a candidate from his wing of the left who might get some media coverage, though I'll still back him if he runs.
I think one thing people fail to take into account is that while most of the MSM prefered Clinton to Trump, they'd rather have Trump over Sanders at the end of the day.

As an aside, I don't think experience EVER really mattered. Trump is not the first inexperienced candidate to win, and even candidates holding political office like Obama were deemed "inexperienced" and won in spite of it. Doubly so in an era in which people are deeply dissatisfied and distrustful of politicians. Tbh, only when Hillary was running did I hear people talking so much about "qualifications" and stuff, and that just doesn't motivate the American people to go out and vote.
The future is so bleak.
He is so not gonna get to do what he kept promising to his supporters.
She did her best.
