My reasoning entails no support for or rejection of any particular candidate. I'm just stating the stark facts about a general election in which a third party candidate such as Sanders would run. If you think the mass of America is clamoring to vote for Bernie Sanders, you are wildly out of touch with the real America, which is vastly more conservative (and uninformed) than you assume.
