    I don’t get why people are getting so incensed with this answer. It’s an election, it’s not fully in his control. If he thinks he’s the best candidate to beat Trump, and he runs his campaign the best way possible, and he still loses, then that is democracy and the will of the people has spoken and there was nothing he could have done.

    It IS about saving democracy, and bodily autonomy, and the Supreme Court appointments, and he isn’t saying that it isn’t. He’s just saying all he can do is run the best campaign he can, and if the people still vote Trump then he accepts that decision.

    You can quibble with his assumptions here, he might not be the best candidate to beat Trump anymore, but that’s the right answer.

      They are asking him how he felt and he’s giving the same answer a fucking middle schooler would give about losing a track race. Don’t you think he should have other feelings and be a little more concerned?? He could be executed by Trump, or he and his whole family imprisoned. He is so far gone mentally he can’t even recognize this. It’s shocking and horrifying. It’s okay he’s accepting the “will of the people,” but it’s a very very very shallow answer for a very serious topic, to the point where I question his mental capacity.
