There's the election in a nutshell. Bernie had amazing support from ordinary people, the same type of ordinary people who voted for Trump. They don't have millions in campaign donations, they maybe have a few bucks and a vote. That's what this election was about.
Another Clinton wasn't enough to rally the troops, despite what all the polls and news agencies claimed.
