Could Bernie Sanders have beaten Donald Trump in the general election?

I'm going to be unpopular, but that's nothing new. My opinion is that Sanders would have been crushed.

Various other analyses seem to forget that Sanders had not faced a full national election onslaught.

He would have been Swift Boated on a bunch of unsavory items. Honeymooning in Moscow. Praise of Castro. The sex essay. Coziness with Lockheed Martin. And “Socialist! Socialist! Socialist!”

To those who think the GOP wouldn't have done it: read history.

To those who think it wouldn't have worked: read history.
