…
4. Trump is getting considerably more media attention.
…
5. Sanders has a much better “ground game.”
…
6. Sanders holds policy positions of a typical liberal Democrat; Trump’s are all over the place.
…
7. Sanders’s support divides fairly clearly along ideological and demographic lines; Trump’s doesn’t.
