from the first primary vote.

Polls this week will show Hillary still leads Sanders and O'Malley.

Hillary will win IA. NH is a toss up at this point.

Hillary will take SC as Bernie can't make inroads into the AA community.

Hillary will take Nevada as Bernie can't make I raids there in the Hispanic community.

Come Super Tuesday Hillary will wrap up the nomination by winning enough delegates.

The current OP's attacking Hillary are looking to me to be increasingly hostile but futile. There isn't much there in the form of debate just mean spirited attacks.

I think that is because Bernie's campaign is a continuous round of events were he repeats his talking points with no substance as to how those things get done beside raising taxes.

By contrast Hillary is laying out her program one step at a time with substance.

Both candidates support similar ideals.

I take no stock in what Bernie folks say about Hillary.


The main contrast I see here is Bernie's plan relies on raising taxes and increased Federal spending to pay for his ideas.

Hillary's plan is a mix of government programs and private investment.

So we will look back on Sanders' and O'Malley's campaigns as one were we are told that government can solve everything if we just pay into it enough and another one that never really took off.

So we are going into the holiday season then soon the primary elections.

May we all come together again and to those who will not support the nominee,
good bye.

By establishing a centralized federal lending authority in the form of an infrastructure bank, the United States could:
•
Increase public investment in infrastructure
•
Leverage billions in additional private investment
•
Streamline existing federal lending initiatives
•
Increase the share of federal money that flows to projects meeting rigorous cost-benefit criteria
With a relatively modest investment, the federal government could enable the completion of numerous large-scale projects of critical economic importance throughout our country, potentially producing thousands of jobs in the process.

Bernie gives the same speech he's given for 40 years at every venue he goes to.

I don't even need to go to one of his functions to know what he has to say. I've heard it on "brunch with Bernie" for years on Thom Hartman's radio show. I heard it in two debates so far. Probably if we had 100 more debates we would hear it 100 more times.

Free tuition
$15 per hour
Family leave
Job creation
single payer
break up big banks
the top 1% have most of the wealth
Take the country back form the oligarchs

These are all good things

What is lacking is the "how do we get there" and a foreign policy

Now in defense of the above we hear this:

Hillary is a war monger
Hillary is in bed with Wall Street
Hillary is a republican
Hillary is not progressive
Hillary is not a Democrat
Hillary is Bill Clinton II


For six months now I have been waiting for Bernie to tell me how we get there.


Maybe Bernie will get the message like he did with BLM (when he added social justice) and add to his stump speech some "how" instead of just "what."



My dread is that Bernie is like Bill McKay in the movie "The Candidate"

Bill McKay, a novice who has just won an improbable victory, turns dazedly to his campaign manager and asks, "What do we do now?"

Bernie is really no leader. He is mostly a rehearsed set of talking points.

it could most likely be my state of CA that passes it.
We are leading in most progressive issues.
We need to legalize pot and a few other things like prison reform but we have the ability to try new things.
So all you single payer fans contribute to Gavin Newsom.
He will bring single payer closer to you than Bernie will.

This is old but still doable

OneCare in 2012? Yes. WE can.
December 1st, 2010 .What’s the Insurance Corporations’ Biggest Fear?
YOU and the Populist Uprising you Support!
Dear OneCare Supporters,

It’s happened! The stars and politicians have aligned and California is now poised to realize the dream of single payer health care for all!

On November 2nd, California voters rejected the Republican “say no, do-nothing” philosophy and elected visionary leaders to run our state: Governor Jerry Brown, Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, and Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. Newsom and Jones support single payer and our Governor Elect has said he’d “listen to the people.”

So to achieve real health care reform, these leaders will need what whistleblower Wendell Potter says the insurance industry fears most: a true populist uprising to compel the legislature to enact a single payer law.

Our California OneCare Campaign team is finalizing a plan to achieve just this in two years! But we need your help!

Your financial support now is needed to help us expand immediately. We’re seeking an initial $150,000 to hire more organizers, to create new grass roots materials, to broaden our on-line outreach and to multiply our volunteer teams across the state.

We are going up against a $400 billion insurance/pharmaceutical industry but we know that sustained populist pressure and votes by informed, inspired and angry Californians can trump all the dollars they’ll spend to try to defeat us!

Click here to donate now. Stay tuned for campaign developments and invite ten friends to help us make history!

Andrew McGuire, Executive Director
California OneCare Campaign

PS. Your DONATION NOW will help us launch the populist uprising that will change California, and then the nation.

health care is a good idea.

So is that all we need to do just agree that it is a good idea?

We elect Bernie and the next thing you know all health care providers set up for single payer. They will be willing to work longer hours for less reimbursement.

Medical clinics will invest in more equipment to cover the increased number of patients though their reimbursement goes to Medicare levels.

Insurance companies will shut their doors and lay everyone off and their investor's stock will go to zero value.

The wealthy will agree to pay higher taxes because they want health care for all.

Colleges will crank out more medical professionals who pay nothing for tuition and books.

Yep vote for Bernie because no problem is so big we can't ignore it.

from for profit medical care to single payer?

What happened to those in the for profit health care business?

who will be switching to Bernie when the primary voting starts.

Hillary is above 50% and Bernie is around 30%. That leaves under 20% undecided. If they all break for Bernie (not likely) then some Hillary folks would have to switch to Bernie for him to win the nomination.

We are reading that 2015 is 2007 again and Bernie is Obama so who are you Hillary now Bernie later people?

Is that enough to get people to vote for your candidate.

Someone says "well let's take a closer look at that."

Oh no! You lurched to the right!

Hell you look at a used car closer before you buy it than you do at Bernie's ideas.

Medicare part A (hospital bed day) coverage has a deductible for every plan year. There is a daily cost for days over 60.
Part B has a premium based on income.
There is part D which has costs for prescriptions
Then there is the payroll deduction.
I guess Medicare for all will cost us too.
I don't think Bernie's single payer means taxing us then care is free.
