End of the Casey era: Bob Casey will leave the Senate with a reputation as a quiet fighter for working people

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : "Bob's demeanor and his work ethic was a perfect reflection of the commonwealth," said Larry Ceisler, who has worked in Democratic politics in the state for decades and first met Casey at a fundraiser for Casey Sr., at Ceisler's parents' house in 1966, when the elder Casey was a state senator.
60% : Casey's loss ends -- for now -- an era of the Casey family serving in Pennsylvania that began with his father, Bob Casey Sr., who was governor of Pennsylvania from 1987 to 1995.
49% : But when Trump came on the scene, he demonstrated a more fiery side, leaving a fundraiser to show up at Philadelphia International Airport in coattails after Trump's Muslim ban took effect.
41% : He entered the Senate as "a pro-life Democrat" opposed to same-sex marriage and resistant to new gun control measures.
