By "street fighter", I do not mean someone who will disparage others, like Trump did, but someone who is not afraid to throw some elbows in defense of Progressive causes.

Yes, Trump did appeal to prejudiced voters and that was a big factor, but he also spoke to all those Rust Belt Folks that Globalism has left behind. Michael Moore explains this way better than I can.

Anyway, I think we might need candidates who are more aggressive than HRC was. I am thinking of folks like Andrew Cuomo in New York. He is a really tough politician who is not afraid of a street fight. I would love to see Cuomo go toe-to-toe with Trump in 2020, if Trump is not impeached before then and if the country still exists (joking).
