Bernie would have won is a meme that emerged after the 2016 United States Presidential election ended in Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton. The meme refers to the belief that Bernie Sanders would have become president in a hypothetical election between him and Donald Trump,[1] based on both polls and conjecture[2] suggesting Sanders would have beaten Trump. The validity of these claims has been disputed.[3] Some claimed assertions that Bernie would have beaten Trump, where Clinton lost, are sexist. Sanders has mostly avoided commenting on the speculation.[4]
