No, Sanders will go far but not be the nominee. His past, his wifes past, his policies; all will be taken apart by the top 3 by the time Super Tuesday arrives. He has provided no REALISTIC way to fund those programs.
And if those who so adamantly support him decide to take their ball and go home, then they cannot complain if trump wins again by the margin of Bernie non-voters
