He was virtually unknown when he launched his campaign, but garnered attention with high-profile media appearances and a call for generational change in politics. “Ultimately you can raise all the money in the world but you need to figure out your pathway to win that nomination,” said Doug Thornell, a Democratic strategist.

no, he's gotta speak more languages
