Dont ignore this.
Trump didnt win by a landslide, he won because he energized new voters while not destroying his base. While at the same time Clinton energized almost nobody and was exposed as corrupt, making her base apathetic.
Sanders would have energized new voters while keeping his base, the same way Trump did, and he probably would have won.
What does this mean? Dont build a house of cards like Obama did with many pet projects, take the opposition into as much consideration as is possible, rule through laws, not executive orders, and build in traps for your priority projects.
If you fall into the same trap the dems did, you will find yourself in their shoes soon enough.

I thank God every day that didn't happen. Can you imagine having a Jew socialist with no work history prior to politics as POTUS? He was a complete loser until he decided to go into liberal politics. His first real paycheck came after he was elected to office. What a piece of shit. I hope he dies soon.

It's most likely a 'true' statement, as rated by Politifact. (Also RCP & Snopes)

Rummel.com calls Bernie a 'choke artist' and it's most likely true (Also Catlady.com agrees)

If your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle, Bernie.

I find it even more disturbing that Socialism (a system with a solid history of failure) has grown so popular in the US.

So, he's saying "I coulda saved the planet Earth and all xer-kind, but I took the fabulous third vacation home behind curtain number three instead."
"That's just the kind of guy I am."
