35. I haven't seen the polling you have on MFA

I have seen numbers in the 60's and 70's in approval. And just disregarding those deaths and those struggling as inconsequential is sad. I also don't hear everyone in extacy over their employer health insurance. A lot of people have two thousand dollar deductables making it mostly incapable of serving them. If you noticed Bernie is one of the most popular politicians in the country. A lot of that has to do with his humane approach to those needing health care IMO. And it's far too early in the process to say this person is unelectable or that one isn't.

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