It sounds like garbage to us, but a significant segment of voters actually likes him (because he hammers away on Fox News-style talking points).

YMMV, but I've concluded it's a lot easier for a dumb guy to play smart than for a smart cat to dumb it down. Trump and Biden are just sophisticated enough to impress Joe Sixpack without seeming "elite."
If you tried to dumb it down, they'd see right through you and become suspicious. I think it has a lot to do with vocabulary.
(One brilliant exception is Austin Goolsbee. He can expound on complex economic theory while sounding like a trucker talking traffic. It's fucking genius.)
