Maine's second congressional district wouldn't have gone red, he probably would have won Iowa, possibly Ohio (not sure about though, it could have gone either way), he probably could have also had huge voter turnout in college towns in NC and turned that blue, and NH would have never been close.
He would have had appeal in some other blue collar areas of the country that didn't trust Clinton, bringing in the white working class vote and turning out millennials in higher numbers than they did.

Too many assumptions.
It assumes those who voted for Hillary would vote for Bernie.
The democratic nominee was voted for and Hillary won by a pretty significant margin. What you're saying is that the DNC should have chosen Bernie regardless of the outcome. That's not how it works.
Also, given that Hillary was fairly confident she was going to win, she abstained from attacking Bernie the same way he attacked her. His only point of compromise was the e-mails, and even then that was just a copout.
He took far too long to endorse her, and turned many of his supporters against her.
So essentially, you're all saying that Bernie would have won because Hillary did not go all out on him. Honestly, she could have easily deleted him if she wished. Not that her restraint helped in the end.
Too much assumptions on your part.
