Minority voters didn't support Bernie over Hillary, but I'm confident against Trump they would have turned out almost as much as they did for her in the general. I'm just saying, we were coming off the heels of Barack Obama, the first black president who really got out the vote from minority voters. Hillary didn't have that same level of enthusiasm, but she DID have the Clinton name, and Bill Clinton is loved by those demographics. Replace Hillary with Bernie (who as you mentioned, could not pick up minority voters in the primary), and I feel like you'd have a case of two 70+ year-old white guys running for office, neither of whom did a great job of addressing minority concerns. The way a lot of progressives felt about Hillary being less than enthusiastic about healthcare or free college...I feel like minority voters would feel similarly about Bernie, given how committed he was to his message of targeting issues of the working class and Millennials. --- Touch fuzzy.
