He has this remarkable talent of making clear, pointed remarks without making it a personal swipe (except against Trump) and explaining bluntly the seriousness of a given crisis without making his blunt assessment sound scary, negative, or hopeless.
IMO it's just the talent and the tone that we need, and I believe it's the M.O. that will ultimately lead him to victory.
