Sanders ever shrinking base shows his serious lack of people skills
He really lacks the demeanor and temperament to be the Leader of the Free World... and people know it. Whether it's how he responds to parents with a crying baby, or interrupting fellow panelists with intrusive and rude in-your-face gesticulations, or being noticeably absent (more than once) from long-scheduled events, or a subdued and passive response to the smears and attacks from supporters who thought BS was entitled to a particular endorsement... I think it's a fair observation and characterization to be direct and simply point out that people are tired of the BS campaign.
I expect him to turn on Warren now that she's beating him in the polls.
I believe your observation and prediction will turn out to be correct in that regard. It won't be long before the usual surrogates start attacking.primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

His really weak support for Hillary in the General still makes me made when I think of it.

The press should start interviewing the non-voters, we need to do something about this.

Loved the Nate Silver tweet. Bernie's folks really overreact to Nate's tweets

The latest numbers give me hope that sanders will not be able to put name into nomination

Kind of interesting that ex-Hillary aids want Sanders to get the "Hillary treatment" this round
