If Sen. Bernie Sanders won the Democratic nomination, the pollster who worked for President Trump's 2016 presidential campaign believes the Vermont independent would have won the general election, according to The Hill newspaper.
"There's no question that if it had been anybody other than Clinton or anybody other than Trump, that race would not have been as close as it was either way," said Tony Fabrizio at a Harvard University Institute of Politics events. "It would not have been."
Fabrizio was asked during the event what he believes what would have happened if Sanders won the Democratic nomination.
"I think Sanders beats Trump," he said. "I think Sanders would have had the ability to reach a lot of the less than college-educated, low-income white voters."
Hillary Clinton, however, won the Democratic nomination in June 2016. She also won the popular vote in the general election, winning it by nearly three million more votes than President Trump.

Hillary was the most qualified Candidate in the past 3 decades...sadly she was also one of the worst public speakers.
Sanders is a scary guy...he lies as much as Trump. His pie in the sky budget estimates regarding all his grand promises were examined and Bernie wasn't even in the ball park. Big shock there....yes he knew it but he lied and lied and lied.
Sanders is the liberal mirror of Trump...an angry old white dude ( who btw never held a real job...seriously...go look it up..a lazy carpenter for a year or two...failed that then a meager little writer for a backwoods publication then he was elected. Been at the feed trough of politics his entire life)
Bye bye Bernie...go away now.
Nasty woman. She should have been indicted under 18 U.S.C. 793 for putting national security at risk. Thanks to the New York Times for revealing her massive e-mail scheme to avoid FOIA requests.
Why didn't you post your name with your calumny of Senator Bernie Sanders.
Character counts.
