Bernie is back [View all]
By Raul Reyes
Excerpt:
Sanders came out strong from the start, unequivocally declaring President Donald Trump “the most corrupt president in the history of this country.” During an early discussion of Trump’s Ukraine scandal, Sanders offered the crucial reminder that Democrats cannot focus solely on the current president -- that they must also focus on problems like climate change and the plight of working-class Americans.
Sanders' persona appears undimmed, to the point where his presence and energy seemed to overshadow younger rivals like Beto O’Rourke, Andrew Yang and Tom Steyer.
Sanders' signature blunt assessments are intact; tonight he called the US health care system "dysfunctional" and "cruel." Like him or not, Sanders cannot be written off yet.
Tonight, we are reminded why Sanders is a unique phenomenon: He remains as bold and impassioned as ever. He has a powerful sense of righteous outrage and a clear vision for the future.
In marked contrast to former Vice President Joe Biden, Sanders comes across as hungry for the Democratic nomination -- and raring to continue his quest for the White House.
