John Conyers, Jr. - CBC Panel Video Link: Medicare For All: Because #Obamacare Alone Isnt Enough.

21. It is not insulting...it is truthful. I am not attacking anyone. There was much pressure brought

to bear on politicians who were not on record as supporting single payer...I saw it here ...numerous posts and on twitter, Facebook ET AL. Of course presidential candidates are pressured by this sort of thing and it is purity politics and unwise. This is the reality of our situation. I understand the Democrat's actions, but I still believe with the ACA hanging by a thread, it showed a lack of judgement. I won't vote for any involved in this fiasco in the 2020 primary. Should any of those mentioned win the primary, of course they have my vote...but not in the primary. We need to run on keeping the ACA- assuming we save it. We can't pass single payer without a super majority in Congress and the presidency...this has happened only twice in more than 30 years. The GOP will demonize single payer as 'socialized medicine' and it may work. The GOP is betting even if they lose in the coming elections,we won't gain the majorities needed to enact any sort of healthcare...and they have destroyed Medicaid as well...I hope to God they are wrong.
