22. Because he is intelligent and doesn't talk down to people.
Being pandered to is patronizing. When people try to agitate with "faux outrage" that is also patronizing.

They EXPECT you to fall for it. Insulting.

People who are low information voters are that way for a reason - not because they are dumb, but because
they don't have the time and the access to research the issues. They are easy prey to sound bites and distortions.

A lot of people don't have internet access or even a decent local newspaper in their area. TV news is spotty at best.
