The message from the primary is either HRC was a poorer candidate then anyone expected OR there is a lot of support for a populist. I could argue it either way. The 2016 primary should have looked like 2000's where the obvious candidate could not be beaten anywhere. Consider that 2004, which was seen as competitive even in January 2004, was a cake walk for Kerry, who only lost 4 states - 2 of which to favorite son candidates AFTER they were out of the race.
I expected Bernie to do about as well as Kuchinich or Dean, he far exceeded that.
So, was he stronger than almost anyone thought or was HRC weaker?
