4. The ignorance, the lack of logic and reason
From the audience.

And I say this as a native Texan.

6. And probably more despairing, is that they probably went away
without them realizing it.

2. I saw it today, I love that guy he handled himself great
he don't take no crap from anybody. It is great to see a Democrat with a spine for a change.

5. Barney just said that we will never have single payer in America
Because of our "history and traditions" - this is response to a Turkish dual citizen (who happened to be a medical doctor) who pointed out that his native country has health care enshrined in its constitution as a human right, and that our system is "broken down to the ground."

Frank then went on to sing the praises of the "free market."

:(
