Back in 2016 someone I know who voted for Trump said he would have voted for Bernie Sanders if he was the Democratic nominee. I"m not trying to re-litigate the 2026 primary. Setting aside the fact that Trump's policies are diametrically opposite Bernie's, the anecdote I mentioned shows a lot of voters can be influenced by a "populist" they can believe is on their side.

Whether or not a President Sanders could have gotten a progressive agenda with universal health care and free college education through the House and Senate is another matter.
