What happened to Elizabeth? [View all]

[kentuck]

Is it a little early to be asking that question?

I thought she hurt her chances when she came out for Medicare for All. But, Bernie is for Medicare for All and he is near the front of the pack?

I have vacillated back and forth with 'Undecided" but I am in her corner once again.

It has puzzled me for some time why Democrats feel the urge to support controversial issues when there is no one demanding them to do it and there is no over-whelming popularity making it necessary?

After all, it doesn't matter if someone is a "Socialist" or any other label, they cannot get their agenda passed without the support of the House and Senate. It is meaningless. Until you have the cards in your hand, do not be throwing money into the pot.

As for Medicare for All, many believe it has merit and will do much to help the working people of this country, as well as those that may lose their good-paying union jobs, or those that might have life-threatening medical conditions.

Those candidates that support the idea have to be able to sell it or they are going to have to wait until they have the cards in their hands before they put their money on the table. Meaning: Don't bet the farm on an issue until you have won the White House and have the numbers in the House and Senate to pass it.

In my opinion, Elizabeth needs a new way to message the Medicare for All issue if she wishes to challenge those ahead of her at this time.

I still believe she is the smartest and most knowledgeable candidate in the race.
