Trump winning against either of them is a long shot, but IMO it is less of a long shot against Bernie because there's a chance Trump could paint Bernie as a radical socialist and destroy him with attacks over his proposals and voting record. Bernie has never faced a sustained serious attack from the right so we don't know how he'd fare.

Bernie of course. Hillary is vulnerable to Trump running to her left on TPP, the Iraq war, and H-1Bs.

2 of your 3 issues are heavily driven by xenophobia, which is right wing, not left wing. But I agree it's likely popular.

Opposition to TPP is xenophobic? Are you kidding me?

A significant streak of it is, yes. That's why the far right is against it as well. "Selling out" U.S. sovereignty and so on. I often see it on Daily Kos. For example, the "guilt" in this piece comes from the fact that the company in question does business in *China* (shudder).
