There's lots of time to go and Bernie is still well funded to stay in a long, long time.

Even for a never-Berner voter like myself. Is it 'the bloom is off the rose' sort of thing with the young'uns? Or has the sad fact that Sanders sounds exactly like he did in 2016 finally hit the wall, big promise guy with no way or plan to actualize the promises? I suspect that Biden & Warren have eaten into these numbers. Then additional bites by Harris, Pete B. and O'Rourke.

Not complaining. But I am surprised this early in the campaign.
