Warren is honest. She says that costs (taxes plus healthcare costs) will go down.

The "give everybody a choice" candidates are the ones being dishonest. The need to admit that their plan will either leave millions without coverage or will cost millions more than M4A.

I'm good with the extra cost, but they need to admit it. They know the problems with their plan compared to M4A, but they are willing to wave the right wing tax shibboleth if it deflects from them.

So far, Warren hasn't been willing to attack her more hypocritical fellow candidates. She has more concern for how the general election will turn out. She isn't willing - yet - to say stupid things about them just to get a few primary points when she might have to face those words in November 2020 as she supports someone else for the general. I'm ashamed for the Democratic attackers because if Warren is the candidate, each of them will be pressed on the campaign trail about how they were critical of Warren for wanting to RAISE TAXES. That is in bold because that is all that will come up in the campaign coverage.

As I said - republican talking points.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
