17. But Medicare for all

I'm all for single-payer coupled with a strategic approach toward legislating and implementing. However, getting thumped over evasiveness regarding cost of health care proposals while tying it (unfairly) to massive middle class tax increases is not a position I hope that our eventual nominee is faced with. As with Ukraine, perception equals reality. The reality that is unfolding with Trump's corrupt Ukraine mess is not working in his (Trump's) favor. The "Lock her/him up" mantra has been audibly turned back on Trump before a huge worldwide audience. Given who has been committing actual crimes in violation of the U.S. Constitution, a third-generation repeat back at Biden (and of course Hillary non-stop as well) would come across as stale and nonsensical as well to all but the most strident MAGAts.

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