 I think he can catch her. I still don't think he will, but I am willing to admit that I could be Not Right. 
I hope he doesn't. I like Hillary - she may be wrong sometimes (usually when she is trying to position herself; the Iraq vote and the decision to use a private email server are both examples of this), but she does her homework on policy issues. 
I think Bernie speaks to a good chunk of the traditional New Deal coalition that still makes up part of the Democratic Party's base, so I expect him to do well in places like Michigan. (I didn't expect him to actually win it, btw). I don't think Bernie wins a general election. But, then again, I thought Trump would be out of the race long ago (I thought it would be because he didn't want to file disclosure reports), so who knows?
