Because the reason he's doing poorly is inability to draw votes away from establishment candidates of the two entrenched parties.

Highlighting that is key to his platform succeeding.

Elections are likability contests in the US. If you try twice and people don't like you... well, I'm sure you're a nice person and a good father.

You can bemoan this and yearn for European elections where the party platform makes a difference. But that's how it is.
