Bernie generates enthusiasm because of his ideas and proposed policies. He also does not play the game of the corporate sponsors and media and this confounds them. This video demonstrates that well.

As they said on the Stephanie Miller show, she is in the sweet spot between Biden and Sanders. I think she will bring out the base in the National Election like Sanders would but also matches up better with more moderate voters.

Given his other work, it's disappointing that the Sanders campaign has added him to their team.
