He can try (and I hope he succeeds) but I have to agree that 2016 was a better year for Bernie in the general. Fear makes people conservative, and people are afraid and tired of fighting and uncertainty. Stability may look more tempting than revolution to a lot of folks.

To be clear, I still think Bernie is the best shot to beat Trump. But I think he and the political revolution would have had an easier time of it in 2016, when folks were more amped up to shake off a tired status quo.
