Probably. Things can change, but it doesn't look good. I'd argue that a real evaluation of Sanders's performance should be restricted to how he does in blue and purple states because those are the ones that will matter in November. He has to prove he can win not just by edging Clinton out, but by overwhelming her in blue states like MA and purple states like FL. He didn't even win in MA, and he's way behind now in the FL polls. He's just not generating the excitement that he needs to do, and if he can't do that, then there's no point. He crushed Clinton in MN, and who cares about VT and OK. The real success of his candidacy depends on creating momentum–the "revolution" and the energy that comes with it–that will in turn create the kind of coattails that will give him a senate majority and to make some significant gains in the House. It's just not happening, at least not yet.
