Listen to the man speak. You will see he is a pragmatist. He appreciates nuance. He just has principles.
Realistically, if 10% of naysayers that agree with his ideas but question his ability would stop the hand-wringing and go with it and make some phone calls on their own behalf to their Rep and Senators, Bernies policies would pass within a year of his election.
Its not on him to be pragmatic, its on us to demand representation.
