His campaign is ramping up. He took time off to rest while Clinton battled Trump and has been getting out there more and more these days. Normally no where near his own constituency.

If he insists on being out there, it's helpful if he actually contributes something and doesn't put his foot in his mouth.

He decided to go the lone statesman route.

He is simply a superstar if he doesn’t step in it these days.

He works hard to bring people together toward economic and social justice goals. I couldn't care less about his political party affiliation or that of anyone who appears with him. It's the message that matters to me.
