He's a Statesman who has never wavered in his advocacy for the working class. At this moment, I believe he needs to continue to fight for his closely held belief in his vision for America. His legacy will be to have pushed the national discussion left, which is already apparent as Red states such as GA begin to pass measures related to paid family leave and childcare. DNC will continue to move incrementally towards his platform.

Round 2 to see if a centrist moderate with few concrete policy proposals can defeat Trump's faux populism and nationalist rhetoric.
