He's a moderate Republican, and a throwback to the days when having a Republican in charge wasn't totally terrifying. He supports infrastructure spending, he does not want to destroy the safety net, he's at least open to the idea of the government playing a role in ensuring universal health insurance coverage, and he's not a crazy belligerent neocon like Marco Rubio. And he's willing to work with Democrats and Republicans to actually accomplish things.
Liberals are short-sighted idiots to be rooting for his defeat when the alternatives are Cruz and Rubio. If you want Medicare and Social Security to be eliminated, if you want a war with Iran, if you want the minimum wage repealed, a national right to work law, and a permanent underclass of non-citizen immigrants to depress wages for the entire country, sure, celebrate Trump's defeat. But you'll regret it when one of these Cuban fascists is being sworn in next January.
