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.[1] The meme refers to the belief that Bernie Sanders would have become president after a hypothetical election between him and Donald Trump,[2] a belief based on both polls and conjecture.[3] The validity of these claims has been disputed.[4] Some claimed assertions that Sanders would have beaten Trump, where Clinton lost, are sexist.[weasel words] Sanders has mostly avoided commenting on the speculation.[5]
