in this frame, bernie is an opposite of carson. bernie suffered in the debate because of how unpolished he was. the left bases its decisions mostly on sophistication of rhetoric and demeanor. it's no wonder hillary whooped his ass. the left fears embarrassment more than anything. their heroes are people like obama: refined and clever. there's no embarrassing him because he's got all his bases covered.
the right couldn't care less about being embarrassed, because externalities do not embarrass their heroes. the outlaw josey wales emanates his strength without trying and is unfazed by the opinions of others. the left needs to win the argument, the right doesn't care about the argument.
