112. Since Democrats want a candidate who shares their ideology

Why should Democrats get behind a Democratic candidate who attacks the single-payer system 81% of Democrats support with dishonest Republican fear-monger in about taxes (and neglecting to mention that private insurance premiums would be eliminated, saving the vast majority of people money) while saying that the Democratic candidate pushing for universal Medicare wants to dismantle Medicare? And who sends her child out to amplify those lies?
