For once I'll offer some insight into a particular point of the campaign instead of shitposting.
I've seen more than a few times talking about Sanders in terms of him only being strong on a handful of issues, and only talking about those issues, as if it were a weakness. Well, obviously a candidate who is perceived positively on a wide swath of issues has an advantage, but we're looking at the second point. It's commonly accepted in the study of American politics (and other more-or-less direct-election systems) that it's highly advantageous for a candidate to address only their strong issues while ignoring or diverting discussion from everything else--I'm certain I've mentioned this before.
Intentionally or not, by so heavily emphasizing his core policy positions, Sanders is (largely, but not entirely) focusing attention on points where he's strong with the Democratic base. Maybe not the party leadership, but fuck the party leadership, at the end of the day they aren't the ones casting all the votes. That is, I suspect, part of why he's polling so well, especially in head-to-head comparisons against the Republican candidates when compared to Clinton: almost everything he talks about is something that he's relatively strong on, and as has been previously noted he doesn't really have any scandals (real or fabricated) to divert attention. Likewise, by not really talking much about issues where he's weak, the end result is that when voters think about him, they largely think about things they perceive as positives (if they're left-leaning, at least).
In the primary race, that's Sanders' main advantage over Clinton, that he has and likely will continue to focus voter attention on his strong points, without the various distractions. It's questionable whether it'll be enough, but I think that a lot of people are perceiving him as a better Democratic candidate in no small part because he's spoken mostly on points that he's viewed favorably on.
However, a great deal depends on whether this is intentional on the part of Sanders and his campaign--if it's not, and he's drawn into discussing issues where he might be viewed less favorably (within the left, for example, as far as national security is concerned, I don't think anyone would argue that Clinton doesn't look better, unless you're talking to an outright pacifist), he could lose ground in the primary--if he makes it to the general election I don't see many Clinton supporters swinging over to whatever wingnut ends up with the GOP nomination. It'll be interesting going forward to see whether Clinton's campaign actively tries to shift the narrative away from Sanders' strengths.
