It's Easy to See Why Bernie is So Widely Attacked.

38. Political Pundits (all the news all day long) talking about people who came in third or fourth!

BERNIE SANDERS is ahead, send up a flare, tell the media with “political pundits” (all the news all day long) who are talking about people being just fantastic that came in third or fourth while making excuses about WHY Bernie won? And some are convinced that Bernie lost since he did better last time. They don’t seem to comprehend that this is a butterfly campaign, and unlike last time, the drop-out’s delegates can go wherever.

Among many other complaints the commentators whine, “If Bernie wins where will he take the party”? Could I answer that? I would say, “some of us think that maybe he’ll take the party back to what the party is supposed to stand for, you know, main street not wall street?

In the pundit’s opinion the Democratic nominee needs to be a moderate because a liberal can’t beat Trump. WHAT? We need Trump running against himself. Is this some silly way of saying that only someone who is thoroughly sold-out can beat Trump.

Well, thanks for all the bad advice, but even if we do need a moderate wingnut to defeat Trump, why bother? It’s all sick, and I don’t mean that in a good way.

Oh, and now, some are claiming to support healthcare for all. We’ve heard that one before, as for as, “if you like your healthcare plan you can keep it” goes, that won’t work. Understanding that healthcare pricing is a prerequisite to any discussion about healthcare for all. In 1993, President Bill Clinton pushed for universal health care to lower the Medicare budget. The government would control the costs of doctor bills and insurance premiums. We didn’t get that, and we have not solved the Healthcare Crisis. We won’t unless we control the overall healthcare costs that will remain poorly controlled until we have oversight.

Taiwan’s single-payer NHI system enabled Taiwan to manage health spending inflation the resulting savings largely offset the incremental cost of covering the previously uninsured. The NHI consistently receives a 70 percent public satisfaction rate.
