Sanders and his supporters claim that he is boosting turnout. (2/10/16)
Voter turnout challenges Sanders’ recipe for successThis isn’t the entirety of Sanders’ pitch, but it’s a key pillar: the Vermont senator will boost turnout, which will propel him and Democratic candidates up and down the ballot to victory.
They argue Sanders has been boosting turnout yet there hasn't been any data proving their assertion. It seems they are just pulling it out of thin air. If his campaign would boost turnout it would show up in the primaries. And the numbers show that currently 2008 had a higher turnout than 2016 by over 6.2 million votes. Even if only Clinton and Obama are totaled for 2008 it is over 5 million more than in 2016.
What has happened is Hillary has received more votes in many of the 2016 contests then she did in 2008.
There are only 16 primaries and 4 caucuses left. 66% of the contests are over and time is running out. Where is the momentum? Why is Sanders' "resonating" message not boosting his campaign? Possibly because his message is not wide enough. They did not target a big enough slice of the pie.

And the BS campaign has paid over $16 million dollars for the privilege, which includes fundraising - and Revolution Messaging is boasting that they've helped BS break fundraising records.

Lots of hostility, anger, enraging, and ginning up "rage against the machine" for BS, but these don't translate into votes at the only polls that count (unlike the way Senator Obama was able to do in 2008 using the same service - and he broke fundraising records, too).
It's no secret that BS has broken records in online fundraising, FB likes, FB new accounts, online clickety-click polls, pro-BS tweets, and escalated online attacks of Clinton supporters, which even she admits she's never seen in '08. That's because, in '08, Senator Obama was using Revolution Messaging, and he ensured his online presence wasn't negative. BS can't help himself and is only negative.
already started here in PA for Sanders. It's...gonna be a long ten days until the Primary and Clinton's win here. 
As noted, a boost in turnout would, inevitably, result in a win for said candidate. And so far, Clinton is far, far ahead. Therefore...which candidate has higher turnout? Clinton. QED.
Let 'em dream, it can be fun. It's over already, but it should be obvious after Tuesday and downright blatant after April 26th.
I actually thought that Back Bench Bernie was pulling most of his rhetoric out of a much more indelicate place. Maybe the Depends are getting in the way! 
PEACE! 
I have the right at 70 myself.
