Trump won $100K+ household income which is 31% of the electorate only by 48-47. If Sander runs I agree the would do better for non-college Whites, especially in the Midwest but I am sure he would get clobbered by Trump in the $100K household income electorate. Trump can still run the same populist campaign and tied Sanders to BLM etc etc so he will still make progress in non-college Whites even if it is not as much as it would be against Clinton. I suspect Sanders will overall do worse than Clinton.
100k household means 2 people making 50k. Most of the time, those are the people getting hit hardest by insurance premiums. Bernie would have done well with them by not having to pretend Obamacare was great.
