I'm not sure Sanders ever had a chance of winning the general election. He's pretty far to the left of the American center.

Counterpoint: Trump won the general election.

This was never about left vs. right but about overturning the status quo.

It would have been about left vs. right if Sanders had been the nominee, since neither of them was a status quo candidate. Sanders has ardent supporters, but not very many of them.

Both Wisconsin and Michigan went for Sanders in the primary, both very unexpectedly, and then went heavily towards Trump in the general. Sanders would've easily won.

In Wisconsin, maybe. Easily won the general? I'd bet money against that. I think he'd be crushed.
