Sanders has an insane uphill battle to climb. Nobody in the political establishment on either side wants him. They live off of corporate donations, the MIC and nepotism. A candidate who doesn't take money from super pacs, wants to overturn citizens united and shrink the military budget is bound to get pummelled by both sides. If you think this was ridiculous:

This will get turned to 11 if he becomes the nominee.
The reason I think he'll make it is because I think a lot of people are coming to the realization that what has to happen is not gradual change, or a lesser of two evils. If you don't want your children to die in a literal fire tornado, watch california become an island state, and lose any pretense of democracy, there needs to be a political revolution.
I don't think that realization was there in 2016. Hillary was very popular and there was a post-Obama sugar high. You just had a black president, now you're going to have one with a vagina, and and all that kumbaya bullshit while you're continuing the same mass destruction of nations and environment that the US has continued since the cold war.
I really think this one is different, and I hope I'm right. I think Sanders would be instrumental in leading a global movement to cut fossil fuel dependence in a timely fashion, and that is by far the most important issue.
