> Bernie, maybe, had the chance to. Bernie didn't even inspire people to vote for him in the primary; how was he going to inspire people if he got nominated?

  Hence the "maybe". He clearly missed his chance.

  Bernie had the main-stream media + the entire DNC apparatus against him. That's a ton of power and influence. I'm not saying he would've 'won'; it's quite possible he positioned himself as too much 'non-establishment', or perhaps too little. but saying he didn't inspire people to vote for him in the primary is not evident, IMO.

    > saying he didn't inspire people to vote for him in the primary is not evident, IMO. The fact he didn't win is evidence of that, surely?

      It's evidence, but it's not evident. Those are not the same thing.
