I think he tapped into a frustration among younger voters with lack of candor. Bernie's a rhetorical sledgehammer. Opponents can’t carve around his arguments. He’s uniquely skilled at making people look like liars. That resonates.
The screwballs who are Bernie or Bust are significant in number, but not nearly as large as the group who’ll look at Warren and think, “She’s saying all the same stuff he’s saying, she’s not shy about bluntly calling out opponents and exposing their bullshit, and she’s got a real chance.” I think the majority of Bernie fans will get behind Warren. Where they may be lost is if Warren is Veep, rather than Pres. The Bernie crowd probably won’t like that. Neither will some of the Warren crowd.

When Bernie was mayor (of, where, Burlington?) he did a weekly show where he walked around interacting with citizens. When he was with kids, and IIRC, one episode with black kids, it is cringe worthy. He was nuts from the start.
