New research suggests Sanders would drive swing voters to Trump — and need a youth turnout miracle to compensate.

Didn't read the entire article but did they do the research on, an incredibly unlikable moderate who ran a horrendous campaign, or just a moderate? I can't imagine Bernie is going to be more intolerable than what many people saw with Clinton. Assuming that trump hasn't expanded his base, the math really should be how much Bernie will be expected to expand the Democrat base + the number of people who voted for trump in '16 who were neverhillary but who are now nevertrump - the number of people who will vote for trump because they can't stomach Bernie.
I'll also point out, maybe they did, but not voting for Bernie seems like a much easier proposition when, in theory, there's still a possibility of getting to vote for a moderate. 5-7 months of Bernie vs. Trump will be much more kindly to Bernie than what we have now which is Trump vs the field vs Bernie.
