If it's a debate about ACA, we need a different front man EffieBlack Sep 2017 #10

Graham baited him into that debate leftynyc Sep 2017 #13

It is entrapment...you are giving the GOP a huge forum for their lies. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #57

A less egotistical person leftynyc Sep 2017 #60

Right, Graham is not stupid...you should have been wary. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #61

The only way Sanders can leftynyc Sep 2017 #63

It's not exactly subtle either. Ninsianna Sep 2017 #79

actually that shouting and finger wagging is what drove ME away.. samnsara Sep 2017 #33

My fear is it it will weaken our chances of saving the ACA if he goes all single payer. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #56

You'd think citizens of the United States didn't deserve what every other civilized nation has. Vinca Sep 2017 #19

One again...supporting Universal Health Care is not inconsistent with not wanting to debate it NOW.. brooklynite Sep 2017 #21

Actually, it might be a stroke of genius. Bernie's megaphone is going to bring the message to Vinca Sep 2017 #24

And WHY can't that brilliant strategy wait until THERE'S NO WAY FOR REPUBLICANS TO PASS SOMETHING? brooklynite Sep 2017 #25

i agree.. i hope this doesnt screw us over bigtime but i fear.. samnsara Sep 2017 #28

the first thing that will come up is how are we gonna pay.. samnsara Sep 2017 #30

Ridiculous. Raise taxes on everyone. Would you rather pay $12,000 in insurance premiums or Vinca Sep 2017 #34

not bashing. and they are correct. this debate is really stupid OKNancy Sep 2017 #29

Bashing means "severely criticizing" oberliner Sep 2017 #44

theyre absolutely right. 100% of focus has to be on defeating GC and saving ACA scheming daemons Sep 2017 #31

Of course. dogman Sep 2017 #38

The point is that, with Bernie there, the questions will turn to SP... and allow GC to be scheming daemons Sep 2017 #66

Should we abandon DACA and ignore the tax bill too? dogman Sep 2017 #67

Those things aren't part of the CNN debate next week. scheming daemons Sep 2017 #70

And you don't think they will be asked about a fix for ACA? dogman Sep 2017 #72

Everyone knows Morning Joe stands for the Democratic Party's interests at heart. dogman Sep 2017 #43

Well I watched an excellent video on Sanders FB yesterday with his policy experts all about Nanjeanne Sep 2017 #47

How awesome that so many here are getting ready to blame Sanders Cuthbert Allgood Sep 2017 #49

Perhaps it's because they don't want to talk about GaryCnf Sep 2017 #53

Why would any progressive spend time watching Morning Joe in the first place? Kaleva Sep 2017 #51

I think his push for his plan that will not get passed is unwise right now. Adrahil Sep 2017 #55

Is he necessarily going to push for that in his debate? oberliner Sep 2017 #71

I would hope so, but.... Adrahil Sep 2017 #74
