I'll grant that Colbert fed him some beautiful questions, but Bernie answered every one perfectly.

and appearing on Colbert's show gave him a greater exposure to people who do not now know him. My impression was he was extremely well received by the audience.

Kudos to Bernie, and thanks to Colbert for giving him a new platform from which to speak.
