What is meant by "unprincipled populism?"

I think what he means is other than a movement leader. A principled populist might be a champion of peasants against harsh landowners or farmers vs big agriculture or someone ideological, say, a socialist or a freedom-fighter. An unprincipled populist might be someone who is in favor of or against whatever gets votes or a self-promoting charismatic. That's my take.
