I love Lincoln Chafee and I'm excited for his independent run!

For the last minute Bernie health plan trap, I'm genuinely curious how it's going to play out on the debate floor. While it is last minute, HRC isn't exactly short on people (or money) and there's probably a ridiculous amount of analysis / talking point writing happening right now.

Will she attack him for purposely releasing it last minute, or will she be framed as whiny? Will she have another tactic prepared? Is this a turning point for Bernie's previously poor debate performances? Will the unidentified man speak, or only speak when spoken to? I love debates :allears:

So did DWS arbitrarily include O'Malley though he polls in like the sub 1%? I have been unplugged from how the DNC has been trying to bury Bernie so I don't know the latest scuttlebutt.

He qualified under the rules, which just required him getting 5% in a poll, which he did in a couple Iowa polls.

Really? He does give specific tax rates and expenditure projections, so it would seem instead of saying "this is why this is a bad plan," just accusing him of bullshit and not having enough details makes the campaign look threatened.

He doesn't poll sub 1%. His national average is about 2%, and he managed to get a poll at 5% in either NH or IA in the past 4 weeks.

He'd peaked at 4.7% in national poll averages at the end of December, as well.

I don't think she will be so obvious as to say he released it now because he is afraid of scrutiny, but she will take issue with the tax increases as being too high. People don't like paying more taxes, and it will be easier for her to score points this way, even if it isn't presented fairly

Trade off parts of the ACA that Republicans don't like for 'middle class' tax breaks that will mainly benefit the wealthy. Pragmatically compromise and negotiate moderate center right positions without being bothered by such pesky details as conscience, principles or vision. Politician stuff.

It's like 4 pages of details. The ACA is thousands. Bernie could by no means just hand that plan to congress and say "do this." There is nothing about how the actual healthcare would be implemented and spending breakdowns for the 1.3 trillion

Hillary is the most competent debater in the primary who will consistently wipe the floor with Bernie on foreign policy and defense, but because bullshit went down in 2008 the DNC foolishly tried to protect her by limiting debates and keeping a rodeo clown around to keep the heat off

actually i'm legitimately wondering what are the contents of the UHC bill Sanders has (presumably?) sacrificed to the Senate Gods? Is it completely detailed as a proper law would be, or is it more of a framework since he knows it didn't have a chance in hell anyway?

You're really not paying attention to things if you think there was wacky poo poo done to get O'Malley in. He just barely squeaked by on long-set restrictions, and he probably won't make it next month unless he really picks up again, to the point he was at the end of 2015.

Medicare currently has 50 million people. Adding another 250 million to that means you need to do more than say "all the stuff medicare usually buys." UHC is my #1 issue and Bernie's plan shows how unattainable it is. I'm kind of bummed right now. Even though I should have known better
