Risky thing to predict. But his message lacks resonance.
Right now, Dems are passionate. Hardly anyone wants another low-marginal-taxes-on-the-rich candidate pretending he's a centrist.
He's another arrogant plutocrat who likes the grossly unequal status quo which puts an unfair burden on the middle class and permits folks like him to run for president with no political experience.
The sea change I suspect many want is to control the plutocracy which is a cancer on US democracy.
The risk is that the movement against gross inequality (sensible) becomes a movement for equality (silly). Change the constitution to check money's grotesque influence. Raise marginal tax rates on the very wealthy. Protect the vulnerable from the most dire outcomes and attack abusive practices. Encourage entrepreneurialism and leave incumbents to competition. These are the sorts of messages that I suspect will win this time around.
