If you are a pragmatist you can see this. Why wouldn't these groups ever vote for Sanders?
Because he is just too liberal and socialistic for them. Moderates might embrace Medicare and Obamacare but they wouldn't embrace the politics of Sanders because it reminds them too much of the Soviet Union from 1917 until Glasnost. It's not even that Sanders is the opposite of Trump because I would say he isn't the opposite of Trump. He is completely different than Trump in a whole new direction we haven't seen since FDR and the Great Depression and World War II and likely not even then.
And without the Independents and Black Moderates and Black Conservatives who vote Democratic you are simply not going to be able to elect Sanders given all pragmatic variables present in the electorate.
The most likely thing to happen if Sanders is the Democratic Candidate for president is Independents and Black and Conservative Voters either would not vote at all or would vote for a 3rd party candidate of some sort. So, it would become the same problem of when Sanders Voters voted for Trump instead of Hillary Clinton.
The main problem with Sanders is he is more interested in being proved right than he is in getting elected.
Because of this he likely couldn't be elected because he is just not pragmatic enough and enough of a power broker like Trump is.
Though Sanders might be ideologically more pure and clean than Trump, Trump is a power broker. Trump will do WHATEVER IT TAKES (no matter how illegal or immoral) to get elected.
This is one reason why Sanders cannot win against Trump. Because Sanders is completely ideological but he isn't a power broker and because he isn't a power broker and pragmatic enough he cannot win.
Clinton and Obama were and are very very pragmatic Men. They might be ideological too but that only takes a person so far. You have to be pragmatic too or you don't win. Sanders is NOT pragmatic enough to be elected president but he is pragmatic enough to become the Democratic Candidate for president that then loses to Trump. And this is the problem with Sanders.
We cannot afford 4 more years of Trump because that is the death of our democracy for sure.
