3. I've really puzzled about this recent stuff.

I guess TPP is the big payoff, and once he's OK with the Powers on that, he can be permitted to make some nice, progressive noises reminiscent of his 2008 campaign, and maybe even do some minor-league progressive things.

But this populist shift, and a few other things (e.g. the "new car smell," the fact that his campaigners are all trying to sign on to the as-yet-nonexistent Warren campaign) are enough to make you think you're dealing with a dual personality here. (And no, I don't mean that clinically or literally.)
