My wife was checking Twitter occasionally. She said he was getting a lot of love there, last night.

Yeah, this is sadly true. I think he's got pretty long odds against winning the nomination, but he's saying pretty much everything I want to hear.
To me, Clinton comes off like a moderate who's trying to win the base over with progressive cred for the nomination. She doesn't have the progressive background that Sanders has, and some of her more progressive stances are pretty recent. I'm reasonably certain she was anti-gay marriage/pro-civil union back in 2008.
Politically expedient is what she's mostly about. And she has the support of the big companies.
