Figure I'll start this for those watching. Obvious starting point is the impeachment hearings and how the senators will vote if it is brought to the Senate.

To me this is a pretty strong argument for the inherent inequity in the system and how something most developed countries would call their default coverage is considered a jackpot luxury in this one.

Well, it comes down to a willingness to pay for it. The State shoulders most of the cost. A private company might cover half. The State gives crap raises, or none for years.. private companies are all over the place for that.

I do agree, however, about your earlier point about flexibility. A government option wouldn't care who you work for, or what state, or at all.

Why didn't Kentucky and Louisiana rig the elections

There is an easy attack on Gabbard here and it is not damning her for meeting with adversarial regimes(Pete), it is her judgment in those situations. Where she has shown a consistent pattern of poor judgment in terms of navigating the facts and lies surrounding those interactions.

Taking the word of Assad about gassing his people, or Modi's treatment of minority groups in India.

Is Deval Patrick in the debate?

Surpised we don't have a thread about him.

No. He hasn't been in the race long enough to hit the parameters required to be included.



Not sure he moves the needle enough really to deserve that yet.

I was working through much of it, so my focus was not great, but did they seem to focus more on the candidates on the “wings” of the stage tonight?

It’s pretty much his platform.

I really thought he might be able to take advantage of the fact he skipped the debates, which I think have pushed the candidates too far to the left.

May be at his next event he can get 3 people to show up.

Darn, the MSNBC feed cut off to re-air the debate, right when one of the post debate analysts was starting to slam gabbard. He flat out called her performance awful. I wanted to know why. Shoot.
