I think we can separate a great administration or rather great accomplishments from the president in that his administration has certainly gone above and beyond what many other presidents were able to achieve in just 1 term. Given the status-quo and chaos of the time, that is impressive. I also credit him with making deals with the progressive coalition and uniting the party significantly.

On the other hand I do agree with the criticism that he largely leads from behind the polls instead of really being a visionary and change-maker. I think that's what most of us respect Sanders for. He stands up for what must be done, regardless of whether it's popular and advocates for this until it becomes popular.
