I think that around the time people are routinely applying the Sanders bumper stickers we'll see the polling numbers really take off. Sanders is the authentic mainstream candidate people in our party have been waiting for. He even gets respect from lots of hard boiled Republicans who will contribute their two cents when politics get discussed.

People are making the connection in their minds, they've been told Sanders can't win and so they think "who's against him?". They see who's against him, and they see friends who are for him, and so they think "I want a piece of this".

And they get an equal piece of the campaign. Unlike other candidates where those with the big wallets get a bigger piece of the candidate.

This is part of what makes Sanders a great choice for Democrats, and for everyone. Every individual voter for Sanders knows that he will represent them as much as anyone. The first President in a long time who doesn't have aides that keep lists of the big donors. No reminders from Banks and Wall Street at how much they contributed. Sanders won't owe any industry a seat at the table for their clerks to keep tabs on his administration.
