11. It will take wins in upcoming states to convince.

And a continued strong showing with the critical swing voters. Nothing beats direct evidence.

Bill Clinton once said

"Strong and right is unbeatable."


That said, Sanders remains a long shot. It's crunch time for him (and his supporters). Will there be enough time for voters in the next states to recognize his strength and vision for a better future? I just don't know.
