I forget who posted the article, but it mentioned that he's reached a ceiling of something like 30% approval ratings in the Democratic party, and hasn't managed to rise above that. You simply have to understand American politics. Anyone who can possibly be credibly called a socialist has zero chance of winning a primary, let alone an election. Bernie Sanders was always dead in the water. It's great that he could bring attention to certain political things, but as a candidate he was doomed from the start.
