Nope. Fundamentally, his campaign has been an ongoing demonstration that he is very bad at politics. Unable to court allies (how much could a real relationship with Clyburn have helped him?), unable to grow his coalition, and, likely, now unable to take advantage of his strength to actually accomplish something.
ETA: On Clyburn, when asked whether he asked for an endorsement, Bernie said "his politics are not my politics." Like, maybe so, but if you'd cultivated a relationship, maybe Clyburn would have declined to make an endorsement. That's not "winning" though, so it's out.
Of course, that last one is consistent if, as Ty alluded to, his primary goal is promoting himself.
