Even if that were true, it would be for the better. Republicans were salivating for Bernie because he would be so easy to beat on foreign policy. In the post 9/11 world, some of Bernie's stances on issues are political 3rd rails. Trump would have destroyed Bernie. He barely beat Hillary, and it hasn't even been determined that he beat her yet. There might be recounts. Plus, one of the reasons the electoral college is in place is to prevent crazy people like Trump from becoming president. We'll see what the electors do.
