That is because he is -- he is 73 years old -- too old to stand up to the rigors of being POTUS.
His 3rd problem is he is an independent -- the unDemocrat. He, like Trump, does not have the support or blessing of the respective party banners they have chosen to run under -- and why they will never be nominated.
Bernie is a sincere man in his platform and has a strong populist following. 28,000 people showed up at his rally today in Portland, OR. He will (hopefully) help shape the Democratic Party's platform and stop Hillary's wishy washy feel good campaign platform this election. BTW, Hillary IMHO it too old for the job too ... We really need a 45 to 55 year old POTUS, man or woman -- I am not that concerned. Other than the Trumpism: she might be on the rag or having hot flashes
A male would be a safer choice that considered.
Bernie should trade off his delegates at the convention for some progressive party platform changes and a cabinet czar appointment or the vice presidential spot with some hereto unknown male 45 - 55 year old third ballot candidate -- but that is wishful thinking and a long shot.
Most interestingly, Bernie has attracted seniors as well as millennials and support from those in between in spite of his advanced age -- a refreshing phenomena even if you disagree with his core platform.
