Trump also had billionaire patrons and donors independent of the other candidates. The Mercers and others spent a lot of money and hired a lot of the people that got Trump through. All of gamergate was done by people working for Robert Mercer. Bernie simply didn't have this reserve of money giving him regular shots in the arm. And yes, of course, Obama stepping (stomping?) on the scales for Bernie made all the difference.
It's good to analyze at face value but this is always the deciding factor. The entire global capitalist order and the interests of the American empire vs a loosely connected network of socialists running on momentum alone. They know they only have to disrupt the momentum and fracture bases to cripple the effort. Where as you can splinter their empire 1000 times over and it would still be an incredible challenge to overcome.

Steve Bannon/ Breitbart were bankrolled by Mercer, and Bannon has taken credit for directing gamergaters towards trump
