Chicago (CNN) Sen. Bernie Sanders brought it all back home this weekend, hosting a pair of boisterous rallies in two cities he credited for a political awakening that set him on a path that could, as he launches his second presidential campaign, deliver him to the White House. Sanders' vow to uproot and discard the private health insurance industry and deliver a single-payer system still drew the loudest applause from an already spirited crowd. In an interview before the trip, campaign co-chair Nina Turner described Sanders' task nearly a year out from the Iowa caucuses as "layering on top of what he did in 2016." "The Democratic Party has adopted so much of his platform, so he won the moral argument in 2016," Turner said. "Now what he has to do is help people to see 'the why,' the reason why he's doing this, what drives him."
