22. That was last year's survey. And the question was NOT about "Medicare for all"

The question was, and I quote: "Would you support or oppose providing Medicare to every American?"

Nothing about Bernie's "Medicare for all" which, unlike Medicare, requires compulsory participation and is not funded by payroll deductions.

On the other hand, more recently, when asked if they support "Medicare for all"...

42%. Impressive, but far from majority of Americans.

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

Says a majority of Americans regarding private insurance industry -- which is what he said. KPN Nov 2019 #4

Actually, Moore says "the average American". What the hell he means by it is anyone's guess. beastie boy Nov 2019 #12

LOL, I know 17-year-old boys who dress much better than Moore. greatauntoftriplets Nov 2019 #15

He didn't bash Hillary "so Trump would win." That's disingenuous. KPN Nov 2019 #5

not at all, Did he bash Hillary the entire 2016 election season? Did hillary win or trump win? beachbumbob Nov 2019 #8

You can't identify one single vote that was cast for tRump or against HRC because Moore was not KPN Nov 2019 #14

What I CAN identify is 12% of Bernie supporters voting for trump beastie boy Nov 2019 #16

Nah, they were already there. Those are the voters who already know that the system is rigged and KPN Nov 2019 #25

Not a pursuasive argument at all. They were all fine with Bernie not blowing up the system. beastie boy Nov 2019 #26

I am only attacking Trump voters. And yes, I am engaging in speculation on why they voted for Trump. beastie boy Nov 2019 #33
