There was a really interesting article on this dilemma from Jeb!s old communications director explaining how things went down for the GOP with Trump, which definitely has some parallels

Both Bernie and Trump are absolutely populist candidates (so was Obama, to a degree). Those kinds of candidates are hard to fight once they get going because being attacked by establishment candidates just makes them stronger. The ball is really in Bernie's court - he can't afford a major gaffe or screwup, but if he doesn't have one, he's pretty golden.

Of course, the former's main campaign message is 'let's stop people from dying of illnesses they can't pay for' while the latter's was 'fuck non-white people', so clearly not all populist candidates are cut from the same cloth.
