Attacked for being shallow, indiscreet, and flashy by the Hillary camp, he has toned down his revivalist rhetoric, and adopted a more sober, more cautious, more professional air. Yet, by doing so, he may have made himself less popular, and is being accused of elitism to boot.
但他也陷入一个独特的两难境地。希拉里阵营攻击他浅薄、轻率和媚俗，他因此减少对复古主义修辞的使用，并采用了一种更为朴素、更加谨慎也更为专业的论调。但这样做的结果是，他的支持率有所下降，并被指责奉行精英路线。从这我们可以看出，民主大概就是需要有些粗俗的做秀。
