5. Amy and Bernie are both doing a good job.

Amy is pointing out that Republican & Independent governors oppose Graham/Cassidy and she's also talking about the bipartisan talks in the Senate (while showing how extreme Graham/Cassidy is).

Bernie jumped on Graham's comments about health care being about insurance company profits and he pointed out that before Obamacare, there weren't laws for pre-existing conditions.

are STILL pushing a slapped-together package of utter bullshit that would result in tens of millions of people losing their insurance coverage and who knows how many thousands dying. For what? For the sake of allowing the party supported by a minority of the people to keep one of their ridiculous campaign promises!

I think the obvious deflections and outright lies should be pointed out and I think that our folks should be damned indignant about the bullshit we are being asked to swallow in the name of "bipartisan cooperation".

Yes, I know that is "not the way things are done", but maybe that's part of the problem.
