I think that Bernie has a LOT of baggage. The Republicans have backed off saying anything bad about him as they REALLY want him to be the face of the Democratic party. He might even get there. Not unlike the Republicans and Trump the Democrats seem to fear Bernie and have left him pretty much alone in favor of beating up on each other. Anyway, I believe, the Dems don't stand a snowball's chance of winning. I am not alone as a majority of Dems feel exactly the same way but have so split up their vote that Bernie is likely to take the prize. Its pretty interesting. The far left is delighted to only talk to one another and claim victory as often as they can. However, that being said, the numbers remain as do the questions.

My own thought is that after the Dems anoint Bernie the Republicans will go after him big time and its not gonna be pretty. The only good thing is that, perhaps, the Trump economy will start to collapse which would probably help the Dems (my hope).
