Bernie Sanders-Jeremy Corbyn

It's possible. The similarity is in the fact that Corbyn's base never believed that he would lose and refused to even entertain the possibility. You always have to acknowledge that losing is a possibility. Sanders being popular right now doesn't mean that barrage of GOP attack ads couldn't change that.

All that aside, Sanders is already saying that he would look at compromising with Republicans which could signal a shift to the center heading into the election. If Sanders is the nominee he is probably going to sound slightly less left than during the primary.

Bernie Sanders said he – as president – would take the idea of compromising with Republicans on health care on a “case-by-case” basis, arguing that he could convince the American public to join him.

I don't think this is necessarily an indication of Sanders moving in a more establishment-oriented direction. It could also be interpreted as him working with Republican legislators only on issues where they actually agree with him (e.g. with Rand Paul on reducing US military activity overseas).

In the context of what he said he specifically mentioned health care as an area where he would compromise with Republicans on a case by case basis.
