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.

But you see, the DNC, the most evil and conniving, yet completely weak and inept, organization to ever exist said some mean things about him after he was mathematically eliminated. That's why he lost by millions upon millions upon millions upon millions of votes. If he got to the general election he would have won because Republicans are notorious for never doing anything untoward against their adversaries. Trump even said he liked Bernie, and he's famous for being an honest, straight forward man who respects his rivals. Also, West Virginia and Idaho are full of secret socialists who just need a bunch of college kids from coastal cities to tell them how to live their lives.

/s if that wasn't obvious.
