Again Biden lost two primaries then won a third, he probably would've been strong in a general but just could not get the primary to work until the Obama association earned him trust with the party.
Bernie will just never get that trust, so he's permanently stuck in 2008 Biden's predicament.
Plenty of other politicians have won primaries and the presidency without having been vice president and even disliked by their own parties beforehand
Trump, Obama, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Kennedy, Eisenhower, FDR, etc.
Has it occurred to you that Bernie is just maybe not great at running campaigns and actually putting together and mobilizing a coalition?
