I would probably vote for him in a primary, unless if Sanders, Warren, Brown, Franken, or someone in that mold runs. I live in his former Congressional district and find him to be pretty good. He can unite both wings of the party; he's an establishment darling but has a very progressive voting record.
That's where the positives end. Being from the DC suburbs is too big of a hurdle to be a viable candidate; probably the worst place for a Democratic nominee to be from. Even though I like him, some other Berniecrats won't because he is quite hawkish and takes way too many big-money donations. He just can't piece together a strong enough coalition to have any shot in the primary, appealing to neither with minorities nor the white working class. His performance would be like that of John Kasich; he wins his home state and comes in 4th place everywhere else.
