I think Sanders is hurt a bit my Trump's poor performance. It's easy to see Sanders beating Trump in a general election, but with the Republicans suddenly looking more serious about nominating an electable candidate, Democrats may rally around the seemingly safe choice in Clinton. Yeah, I know she's not actually the safe candidate and Sanders does great in head-to-head polls... But I think Clinton as the safe choice is an easier sell. Can Sanders flip that narrative and become the safe choice? Maybe, there's certainly an opening for him to do so.
