I am often critical of leftists, but I do think they are correct that a class/economics-focused message is a better response to Trump than the hawkish Cold War bromides Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin delivered in response to his speech on Tuesday. 

At the same time, Bernie is ultimately not the ideal messenger for the national party. The public's appetite for a fairer economy where they're not at the mercy of unscrupulous corporate actors does not necessarily mean they have an appetite for Bernie's more sweeping vision for reform.

On the contrary I think Bernie's messaging is more liberal and doesn't resonate the same way anymore because the left is looking for a political revolution not a liberal reformist. The most important part of Bernie's message was always getting the corruption out of US politics, but the Dems can never do that or the GOP, only when there's an insurgent third party of the working class that doesn't participate in the legal bribery system with the plutocrats will we get a popular leftist leader.
