Not an interesting take at all.
Tl;dr: Trump is popular because angry white guys who hate politicians and people like Sanders for something other than his positions on the issues.
It's what all of the boring, sports-style political "analysts" have said. And like their analysis, it's not only bland, but incorrect.
People like Sanders because they like his positions. Disagree with them all you want, but this myth that people don't really, truly, seriously like his ideas is getting ridiculous.
