18. Perhaps you can provide a theoretical roll call vote?

One for the upcoming 115th congress?

Feel free to make the most optimistic selections of potential candidates that you'd like. I have. Even with my best picks the numbers aren't there.

Do you suggest there's a way to get single payer or the government option passed without Congressional law? Do tell?

You focus on Hillary, but neither Hillary.. or Bernie has a congress coming up that will help either of them with this highly important issue.

So tell me, Who have you supported, volunteered for, or or worked in some significant way to get elected when it comes to Congress?

These are the people I've chosen to work for, help get elected this cycle. (looks better in the spreadsheet)
