Organizers are on the ground in a way that the Democratic Party hasn't been.
I think a lot of what's happening today is because the Democratic Party got in bed with its donors and stopped talking to people.
especially in the middle of the country.
People used to see the party come in and put money into a community.

He was one of our candidates.
There are people like him.
Now, you know, everybody say, oh, you're going to vote for president.
