There were also clear ideological/demographic limits that hindered Buchanan and Jackson as they tried to build on success. Sanders, though, is showing more potential than other non-Biden candidates to win significant non-white support and also registers among self-ID's moderates

But did any of those candidates have as broad appeal throughout demographics as Sanders?

He does? He has broad appeal to liberals. Liberals don't even make up a majority of the Democratic party.

Sanders is no where near as fringe as they are in the modern Democratic Party.
