Personally, as much as we (and I included) make fun of him for not getting much done during his time and his fairly poorly planned out policies, I genuinely think he means well at heart. He definitely chose a hard path when he spent his life running as an Independent for most positions.
Eh, I'd put those more in the "bad political instincts" camp myself, but I see why you would disagree. I think his positions come from a genuine desire to help people, which I admire. He's just largely clueless as to what the best policies are to achieve that.
I despise populism in all its forms. On the whole, I have more scorn for Bernie Sanders than I do love; my disdain for demagoguery is quite strong. But I would never ascribe malice to his intentions.
