show in response to some of these attacks from moderates that he can speak to a set of voters who aren't necessarily already sold on all of his ideas. warren has actually shown a certain amount of range in this race in terms of being able to go into relatively moderate contacts, conservative parts of the country, and frame her ideas as directly relevant to those people. bernie sanders sort of plays the same song in every venue. doesn't mean he doesn't have appeal in the red states. he does to the economic populist base there. but for a lot of democrats who have a hangover from 2016 or are suspicious of the idea somebody that calls themself a democratic socialist can win an election. how they field criticism from john hickenlooper or john delaney who sound like the moderate white guy voters out there who may find some of these ideas interesting but have reservations about the cost or feasibility or just viability in a general election, that contrast should be revealing.
