Give an example of overcoming setback.

BIDEN: There's setbacks & there's setbacks [how do I pivot to my sad family?] My family died. Then my kid. I found purpose. Stopping Medicare4All matters because my kid died of cancer.

BIDEN: There's setbacks & there's setbacks [how do I pivot to my sad family?] My family died. Then my kid. I found purpose. Stopping Medicare4All matters because my kid died of cancer.
WARREN: Like a lot of folks, I was Republican, knew good people, went to college, didn't get a job, got pregnant, went to law school, was a lawyer, then a teacher.
BERNIE: I'm the son of an immigrant, ran for office and got 1% of the vote, then 2%, then won. Resilience is taking on all these fucks in power you cowardly bastards are getting checks from.
KAMALA: Everytime I ran for office people said I shouldn't. I didn't listen to any of their advice and barely won against awful candidates thanks to stuff progressives won't talk about (whew). But I learned. The worst people in politics are my pals now. I'm the shit.
BUTTIGIEG: I came out as gay and got re-elected. I know tonight, I haven't mentioned a single policy position, but isn't that amazing. It is.
YANG: I sucked, had success, figured out how to capitalize on gimmicks, then came up with the 1k shtick.
BOOKER: I took on the political machine and we lost. Then I joined Betsy DeVos and she funded me for a decade. I reached across the isle and together we decimated private schools in New Jersey. That's resilience. Martin. Luther. King.
BETO: Resilience is a big word. A big American word, though the origin of each individual syllable may be unique to its own country. But I digress. I know someone a person. A person who played soccer. Thank you.
KLOBUCHAR: My dad was a mess, then I got married. My daughter was in the hospital and it was a mess, so I fought them. It was hard. Let's never do that again. Medicare4All is too much work. Fuck it.
CASTRO: I just want to thank the moderator for not asking me about being The HUD director during the housing crash. If I ever get asked about why I chose to sell the houses to Wall Street for nickels instead of helping the distraught communities, my race is over. Amerrrrrrrrica.
