I think if they let him be him instead of putting a politically correct collar on him it would have made a difference. Maybe marginally but still better.

He was picked for his viral clips calling Trump a robber barron and the weird thing definitely was impactful early on. But the campaign definitely took some of that blue collar angry politically incorrect vibe from his sails and we was more polished than he should have been. I think he is the perfect type of mouthpiece we need. Very Dan Osborn, John Fettermanesque in his language.

With that said the debate was extremely cringeworthy and I was very disappointed by no bounce coming even from Minnesota. Personally I think he'd make a good DNC chair but I know he's going for a third term.

Yeah, when the campaign rebuked him for talking against the Electoral College, it was pretty clear they had him on a short leash.
