As far as I've tracked, every one of his moments of departing from Democratic orthodoxy(whether in policy or optics) has been positive. And sometimes it doesn't even make that much sense politically, like calling out Bob Menendez. The senator has become a badass.
He seems to be what a normal Democrat would be 30 years ago, people of common sense who support strong but fair workers rights, moderate social services and moderate spending.
When he was running for office and struggled to communicate after his stroke, it was difficult to understand what his beliefs were, especially when he said he supports fracking but contradicted himself while struggling to speak. It's wonderful that he has recovered so well and is looking to many Republicans to be better than Oz.
