Populist just means an expression of the populous. That's why Trump won and Hillary didn't, despite beating Trump in popular vote - because the country is vast and fly-over is sick of being fly-over and there is a leavening of votes btwn. high population and high acreage.
Bernie is populist, and he is not Trump.
Populist is not a party. You know that, so don't try the equivocation thing.
A populist that wasn't a con, a populist that actually has a long track record of supporting the population: well, there just wasn't that choice last time around, and now there is, and the world has changed, and you can keep losing if you don't want to see that.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
