I know Bernie is being polite and playing politics, but let’s be honest: Trump keeping this promise is about as likely as Hell freezing over.

It's not polite, it's calling him out. Trump will say/lie about anything. At one point Trump said exactly this. He didn't mean it, he just said some shit.

Bernie is repeating his own words because occasionally Trump says something good without any intent to follow up.

So Bernie is taking him at his word. He knows Trump will never do it, but if he can call the hypocrite out and trick him into agreeing, why not?

To want to talk about 4D Chess? There it is.

I guess we'll see, but I think we can all appreciate his willingness to go straight to brass tacks and hold Trump's feet to the flame while the entire Democrat Party leadership is still busy clutching their pearls.
