I think most know that he means a Nordic variety social democracy when he says Democratic Socialist. And I don't think changing it to "Social Democrat" even though more accurate, will suddenly cause Republicans to have an "aha" moment and stop using the S word to describe him. It will only confuse the issue more. It seems to confuse many even in here.
