If Sanders were to win, his young followers would forget to buttress him in the next midterm elections and the Repubs would end up picking him clean. He'd be a one term wonder with nothing to show, unless he decided to disband Congress and machine gun five of the nine sitting members of SCOTUS, and I don't think Bernie would have the dictatorial and authoritarian sac to try that. He's just not that into Fuhrerprinzip.
