Almost all of the head to head polls Had Bernie doing better than Hillary
He also won the Wisconsin primary and the Michigan primary in spite of the DNC leadership and propaganda machine being firmly behind Hillary from the beginning.
Hillary lost those states, ultimately costing her the election, and there's no indication that Bernie would have lost any of the states she won.
I'm pretty sure Bernie won a lot of primaries. He got 72% of the vote in Washington: https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/primaries/washington
Edit: Yeah he won quite a few: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2016_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries
Yup, he did, and he would have won the general.
They singled out those two states because they were ones Hillary lost in the general
