Rashida Tlaib endorses Bernie Sanders for president

[Uncle Joe]

Detroit — Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Sunday endorsed Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination, joining two other members of the progressive group known as the "squad" in backing the senator from Vermont.

“We deserve someone who writes the damn bill,” Tlaib said during a Sunday rally with Sanders at Cass Technical High School, echoing a Sander’s catchphrase about his Medicare for All legislation. “We deserve Bernie Sanders.”

The Sanders campaign also released a video Sunday in which Tlaib specifically endorsed Sanders for president.

“He’s not going to sell us out,” the Democrat from Detroit said in the video.

3. She is most probably referring to the "Healthcare Bill" he is proposing

She used his words when he left Tim Ryan with his mouth open during the debates. Bernie said something and Tim Ryan said "You don't know that", to which Bernie responded "Of course I do, I wrote the damn bill!", and Ryan just stayed in one place with his mouth visibly open, the cameras made sure to show his body language.

And here is a link where you can try to answer your own question "What Bills?". I admit that I have not gone through the entire thing, if not I would list them for you.

8. You forgot to post this paragraph

(snip)

Does 7 not sound like a lot? Very few bills are ever enacted — most legislators sponsor only a handful that are signed into law. But there are other legislative activities that we don’t track that are also important, including offering amendments, committee work and oversight of the other branches, and constituent services.

10. Not Really, For All The Years He's Been There

and of the 7, as I said 2 are for Post Offices and 1 for A Bicentenial...while important to those involved, of not national interest

[question everything]

19. Some do and some are just angry wannabes

In a five-year period from 2014 to 2018, according to GovTrack.us, Sen. Klobuchar’s co-sponsor 1,967 bills—more than any other senator except Connecticut’s Richard Blumenthal.

11. Just for the record.

Nicolas Cage is a Yang supporter.

[Uncle Joe]

12. I know but I still like Nicolas,

he is one of my favorite actors.

P.S. I have used Danny Glover as well in the past, he is also one of my favorite actors.

[oldsoftie]

4. Bernies numbers are what they are. They wont go higher.

Its over, Bernie. Warren is slowly taking all your voters.

[bluewater]

9. Honestly, I wish this was true! lol

But I would not underestimate Sanders when actual voting starts. He can possibly win Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada right off the bat.

I am certainly not going to think he's a spent force. People who do might be in for a rude suprise.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

21. Rude awakening indeed!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!
