In 2016 there was a plethora of established and credible polling that signaled Sanders soundly defeating Trump in a general.

According to RealClear Politics data, NBC/Wall Street Journal surveys had Sanders up by an average of 9 points. CBS News/New York Times polls showed Sanders ahead by an average of 15 points.

Ain't no way Sanders would've got swept in the rust-belt -- and he also would've won significantly more independent voters. In the midst of the red v. blue bonanza, people often forget that independent voters often comprise the largest (and most significant) % of voters in a general election.
