 How many TIMES do I need to say this - Bernie DIDN'T GET MINORITIES IN THE PRIMARY. What makes you think that would change? He NEEDS minority turn-out. The numbers just aren't his favor otherwise - with one "socialist" catchphrase Trump would DESTROY him.

 The DNC decided to hold only six debates during the 2016 Democratic Party primary season (eventually increased to nine), far less than 2004 and 2008..
Minority voters had little chance to get familiar with Bernie and his policies, but Clinton was well known to them. 
Many people voted for the candidate that they were most familiar with. That is one big reason Bernie didn't get minority voters in the primaries. That doesn't mean he wouldn't have got their votes after a full election campaign against Trump.
It's going to be difficult for anyone against Trump is 2020 unless Trump really screws up.
Bernie for 2020, but I'm not sure after that.
The Dems need to get some young ones ready for 2024.
