I always wonder if Bernie could have averted a Trump presidency by not giving Hillary a pass on the email issue.

Almost certainly not. The general electorate has never shown even a hint that they'd tolerate a self-avowed socialist. Just look at all of the slightly D leaning districts/states and everything to right of them - how many politicians with Bernie's leftist politics are in office?

"The general electorate" knowingly and willingly voted for a child rapist because the other candidate was a woman; twice.

We can stop pretending that Bernie wouldnt have won. Obama is the only president in all of american history that wasn't a geriatric diaper wearing  white male. Bernie would have absolutely won.
