Why did Bernie not win Lackawana and Luzerne counties in the PA primary?

According to the narrative, Bernie could have won over working class whites, which Hillary lost in places like Lackawana and Luzerne counties, PA; as well as places like Youngstown, OH. This seems plausible. But if this was true, he should have won these places in the primaries as well, no? Had he been able to win working class whites in the primaries, he may have been the nominee. Evidence is, they crossed over for Trump, as opposed to sticking with Bernie.

I think he would have if Trump hadn't run. They are also concerned about immigration as well as jobs, so Bernie was only half the package.

Wasn't Pennsylvania a closed primary?

This.

OH was open to independents and Bernie couldn't come within 10 points.

My post was about Pennsylvania not Ohio.

I realize that. But if Bernie was going to perform strongly in places like NE PA why did he do miserably in similar places in OH?

And everyone with little intelligence knew that counties with Heavy Dem votes went overwhelmingly to the GOP especially to Kasich. All Independents & a large share of Democrats went to Kasich to stop Trump - And Democrats voted that way to stop a Trump surge!

Closed primaries with a core Dem base where Voter Reg ended a while back. And he came on the back of a loss in NY where he performed below expectations. It really was over after NY if it wasn't already over!

There is no need to insult anybody. I didn't do any research into that particular primary, which is why I was asking others.
