The guy can talk pretty. Being Mayor is actually a pretty cool gig. What did he do to help African Americans in South Bend who have much higher poverty rates than the national avg? What innovative programs did he introduce?

I was initially liking the idea of him anf Warren, but I am not finding a lot of substance to back up the rhetoric. Has he stood up to anyone powerful on behalf of the people?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
