"Narrow vision", "limited focus! " (Incidentlly, these are not hyphenated words)
and "Single issue!"
Really?
He's upset because of the great injustices done to the world and to the American people.
If you knew his positions you would join him in righteous anger.
Please read and learn:
Leading with such trivial concerns such as spelling and punctuation is done so for the purpose of claiming a "superior-intellect", but in reality it suggests to me that the writer understands they are arguing from a position of weakness.
The things you mention are all fine and good, but Bernie isn't ready for the world stage. He doesn't have the temperament or patience for it.
(Sorry, it's not double-spaced and properly footnoted. I know that's important to you.) 
Which remeinds me ... here's a photo of Miss Beadle from TV's "Little House on the Prairie".
So, needling someone about incorrect punctuation and leading-off with that as a tactic to establish "intellectual superiority" is all fine and dandy, but my pointing out the likely reason for their doing so, and my finding amusement in the schoolmarmish approach is over-the-line? Got it. Good to know. 
... or honorable. The senate and the house is a more appropriate (??) venue for wearing one's heart on their sleeves, and allowing the discussion (or negotiations) to be led by, or influenced by, raw emotion.
To do such things on the international stage, and with other world leaders, is likely to be a strategy that appears to be one where bluster is used to hide weaknesses. It would be a distraction, and isn't the nonverbal signal that one wants to give if they hope to put someone at ease, or if they want the other person to feel as though they're being heard. Being abrupt instead of thoughtful would likely convince someone that the negotiations are over, and would make them wonder what purpose it serves to continue.
The only example I can think of is how Kim Jong-un is so belligerent. It's an extreme comparison not meant as an insult, but to illustrate (with an absurd character) how anger and hotheadedness can interfere with constructive dialog.
PS: 
Good to see you! Happy Thanksgiving!!
i remember the passion and sometimes righteous anger of ted kennedy. i think if bernie were to become president, we would see a different side to him, a presidential side, perhaps less contentious and more executive. om has been gov. and hillary has been sos, and bernie senator, so we are used to seeing them in their different roles.
good to see you too and happy thanksgiving!!
