Polling showed him beating Trump both times. In 2016 it showed him beating Trump but Clinton losing to Trump. It's not only speculation.

That is indeed speculation and “polls” meaning what? Which polls? When in the race?

All those people who were voting for him in the polls should’ve showed up at the primaries if they were so numerous. I’d entertain the idea if you told me just 2016, but 2020 there is no way. He did worse than 2016 by a large margin. Once biden won SC Bernie’s campaign collapsed. I’d know - I worked it!
