In reply to the discussion: Warren Calls on Sanders to Release Medical Records [View all]krissey
(1,205 posts)18. Warren did more than Biden with a soft jab and chuckle about guns.
Bernie has a good start. But instead of expanding and bringing in more people to help, instead his campaign relentlessly attacks everyone who asks a question or tries to fill in details about how to actually make this work. And then his own advisers say, eh, probably wont happen anyway.
Look, health care is a crisis in this country. My approach to this is we need as much help for as many people as quickly as possible. And bring in as many supporters as we can. And if we dont get it all the first time, take the win and come back into the fight to ask for more.
Warren has proposed passing a public option in the first year of her presidency and then trying to pass a full version of single-payer health care later in her first term. It is a halfway point between what Buttigieg proposes and Sanderss plan.

Wouldn't it be lovely if any of the other four Democrats would go after Sanders?

They have. She hasn't. If she doesn't think her ideas are better than Bernie's she should quit.

"The Russians will make up their own records for Bernie and release them ..."

I agree. If the records were all good, Bernie would not only have released them,

That's not going to go over well with the "but he released letters like X candidate" crowd.

For several decades all Presidential nominees released their medical records -- until Trump.

Bernie can pick Warren as his VP then everyone will be happy with his medical status.
