I do prefer and hope that Warren gets a sufficient bump from her debate performance to challenge Sanders for sure. Having said that, my sense is the legacy you value is one that is now 45 years in the past regarding economic issues. There is such a thing as “establishment” and I agree that FDR was establishment. He also recognized, as you say, and used huge problems to advance huge solutions within the existing system. Warren is the only candidate I have seen doing that effectively among our candidates — aside from Sanders. In my view, the legacy has been extinguished. It’s of the past. If we ever hope to return to that legacy, we need huge change. I’m not convinced that our other candidates would work sufficiently toward achieving that.

At any rate, I appreciate your response and well informed views.
