53. His lack of support for the ACA says it all.
Tue Feb 26, 2019, 10:10 AM
Feb 2019

The last time the ACA was on the chopping block CNN got Amy Klobuchar to defend it and they had Bernie on to push his vanity alternative which would be a disaster for consumers if it ever came to pass, which it wouldn't because the actual legislation is vapor-law. But getting rid of the ACA, now that could happen.

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