Democratic Primaries

embarrassable and is sastisfied with success. He's no kid any more. And he knows how to get people who read him to pivot with him to whatever his new themes will be.

Absolutely no doubt the Repubs would have hoped to use a transition to MfA to destroy it and the ACA, and all chances of a universal system. But I really doubt they believed for a minute that congressional Democrats would hand them that outrageous opportunity.

I think the worse of them for doing it since I believe Sanders' attempt to take out the ACA is extremely immoral and...etc, but our candidates who "endorsed" MfA were trying to use an idea that had caught fire in order to jump start their campaigns. It was without real form, allowing them to muse on a wide range of personalizations.

My best guess, though, is that that anyone "stuck" with this campaign promise might have kept the popular name "MfA" and used it to sell what amounted to expansions on the ACA, using congressional realities as an excuse but making good on promises of big advancements to or toward universal healthcare.

For sure none of our Democratic senators and governors, etc., had the slightest intention of going to war with congress over what is probably the worst political campaign promise made by any candidate under the Democratic label in my lifetime. Anyway, we're going to need every bit of our political capital to battle climate change and meet dozens of the critical needs that have grown desperate.

Can't wait.
