That may be, but Bernie is at least being honest about things.
Take, for example, paid family leave.
Hillary's plan is, essentially, to tax the rich to fund the program. Of course, all of the "poor" think that is a great idea.
Bernie's plan is, essentially, to tax everyone to fund the program. Which makes a great deal more sense and reinforces his idea that everyone is in this together.
Hillary, like most politicians, continues to appeal to those who simply want others to pay for their needs and wants---which does nothing to address the looming debt crisis.

At no point in this race did Bernie ever have a chance.

Meh. Take away the minority vote (namely Black) and Hillary isn't in the lead.
Hillary appeals to the historic core of the Democratic Party--who would vote for Bernie anyway, if he were the nominee.
Whereas Bernie appeals to voters who very well might not vote for Hillary--or any other Democratic nominee.

And who would those "serious fiscal conservatives" instead vote for? Gary Johnson?
They most certainly aren't going to vote for Hillary---or, at least, they'd never publically admit to it.
