Makes him sound more like a relatable "guy next door" instead of a 74-year-old socialist and lifetime politician from Vermont who doesn't comb his hair. Probably a smart move.

I wonder if any Republicans will try this in the future.

Oh, yeah, good point.

How are these things mutually exclusive?

I think this poster is in for a startling realization about the popular appeal of leftist populism.
In the United States? I doubt it.

I'm just saying that I don't think Bernie got as far as he did because of policy; I think he got that far because he is Bernie (due to his personality, in other words). I don't think some other Generic D with the same policies as Bernie would have gotten nearly as many delegates.
