He might very well be unelectable, but not because of the electorate.

Most of his policy proposals are incredibly popular in a bi-partisan way. There is a ton of ground where Americans are mostly undivided, and most of those things related to the economy.
In polls conducted yesterday, among all the frontrunners, Sanders beats all the GOP nominees, except Cruz, that's a virtual tie.
