It's not difficult to talk plainly, to the issues, and in a way that gets people to BELIEVE you are going to fight for them. This undoubtedly disturbs the financial and political elite.

Most politicians talk in vague generalities that simply don't lend believability in today's political climate.

Cut to the chase. Like Bernie.
