There are many Republicans for whom Bernie Sander's message resonates. For one thing, he's honest and doesn't just pander with the same old platitudes that most candidates of either party echo, telling people what they want to hear.
Strange analogy, but suppose you're dating someone who calculates what to say based on what he or she thinks you want to hear. Why in the world would you trust someone like that? They're not letting you even know who they are, and all you can judge is how well he or she has researched you and knows what you want to hear. Bernie Sanders appear to speak from the heart, calculations be damned. He's not there to preach to the choir and have a nice video to share on Youtube of cheering fans. He's there to have real communication with citizens that he respects, even if they disagree. This is a man of integrity.
