6. I'm going to compare her to Sarah Palin, but hold the pitchforks for a moment

She obviously has nothing of Palin's ingrown (or inbred) racism and right-wing idiocy, Jane Sanders seems very much like a nice and a decent person all-around. But there's a sort of...folksy ignorance to her interviews and her general attitude towards politics and what she sees as the "correct" (i.e. the Bernie message) way to go, and any deviation is to be condemned.

She...and more importantly the Sanders surrogates who prepped her for her appearances...wanted her to come across as one of the people, not the high-falutin' rootin-tootin Big Establishment.

A plus though is that Jane Sanders actually knows how to speak and speak coherently, if simply. Palin, to cite Trevor Noah, is a bag of Scrabble vowels taking human form.
