Yup, behind her, Clinton dragged a flotilla of garbage scows from which her opponents could shovel dirt at their leisure. This was wholly predictable, which is why, despite waiting on that crystal ball, I predicted the general result back in 2015, including Trump wheeling out the women who accused Slick Willy of all manner of violent felonies.
What of Sanders? The worst I've been able to find is that, when riled, he's a cranky SOB in Burlington (which everyone already knew), he voted for that crime bill, and he's described himself as a socialist (which, again, everyone knew). However much dirt the alt-right and their GOP enablers threw, it had to stick, or it'd rebound on them, further stinking up their own campaign.
And while they're throwing it, Sanders could've rebutted at length with the embarrassment of riches Trump gave him, a pot of gold that Clinton couldn't dip into without inviting comparison with her own record. Sanders could've still lost, sure, but unlike Clinton, he had a chance.
