Good on him.

For way too long the younger electorate and future electorate have been ignored by politicians.
This is a good move and more to the point,a very natural thing for him.
This is what he does to good effect and his sincerity as to it is recognised by such younger people.

It's not them being gullible at all, it is that he can and does engage with them
By talking 'to' them and not 'at' them.
