There's no reason to think, with all the exposure he's had, he's ever going to draw millions of Hillary voters to his side,
I feel like we've had this conversation before. He doesn't need to draw millions of Hillary voters to his side as long as there are 15-20 other democrats splitting the rest of the pot. Trump only received about 1/3rd of the vote in the first two dozen primaries. He jumped up to 70-80% in the final states because it was already over... those were never "trump voters" - they were "supporting the obvious nominee" voters. The same can be said of millions of so-called "Hillary voters". They were Democrats and she was the only "real Democrat" (tm) in the race. There isn't any reason to believe that NONE of them would vote for Sanders if he stays in the top two as the all those candidates who never crack 1-2% drop out.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
