if voters didn't care that Donald Trump defrauded hundreds of people and bragged about sexually assaulting multiple women, I doubt they would have cared that Bernie went to a Sandinista rally, especially given those Rust Belt rednecks don't even know what a Sandinista is. White voters knew that Bernie was a Socialist Jew and they still preferred him over Hillary hand over fist. The stuff they had on Hillary was much worse than the stuff they dug up on Bernie - the only difference was that people cared about the dirt they had on Hillary because it was actually relevant to their lives
Of course we don't know that he would have won the General Election against Trump, but here's what we do know:
• Voters viewed Hillary and Trump as comparable evils
• Hillary narrowly lost the states she needed to win
• The demographic that caused her to lose those states greatly preferred Bernie
