There's the party's primary. This is when the crazy, pie-in-the-sky stuff gains the most traction.
Then there's the general election. This is when people ask, "Yeah, but who could beat Trump?"
People like Sherrod Brown aren't especially sexy during a primary. He is, after all, a straight white male. Yawn, for most people.
But hopefully he makes it through. Because he is VERY good on worker's rights. He can easily garner a lot of the midwest blue-collar vote, which is crucial.
I can easily see Sherrod Brown beating Trump. But I am very nervous his own party will fuck him over during the primary season.
His policies? Progressive, yet sober-minded is how I'd describe him.
