I think it makes him feel like he is some kind of enlightened expert, and to try to push an explanation that both tries to explain a situation and yet mystify it.
Him laying it out that way is him trying to paint himself as someone who understands the "deep magic" of politics and he is offering you a peek into his mighty world. He is presenting views like this in a very patronizing way, and at that same time trying to passive-agressively tell Bernie that he doesn't understand or deserve to run for president.
It is also amusingly tone deaf on how ghoulish his own metaphor is. Literally liking the presidency to an unbreakable dynasty of kings. Also admitting that deep down he knows Bernie is right but he is too pure and naive to do the "necessary evils" of the presidency.
In a nutshell, he dances around talking about it directly because he knows he is nothing more than a lesser evil and thrives on it. But outright admitting that is unthinkable.
That fake eloquence is part of his appeal to a lot of people who tend to think that bombastic speeches indicate a capable politician. A sort of elitist demagogy, if you will.
Can’t he just say what he wants to say? What is with all this fake eloquence

I don't think he'd want to say "your ideas are great, but our corporate donors don't like them" out loud.
He did say it in elite speake- the translation is "take your "New York" ideas and sit down".
