I'm still waiting from the pivot from Klobuchar (since it sure as hell isn't going to be Bernie) to point out that the problem is the insurance companies, not the ACA.
Also, the whole "the governors will be better" --> those same governors screwing over their own states by refusing to expand medicaid

Bernie was pretty adamant early that insurance companies were the problem.

I will say that Klobuchar is doing an excellent job as Sanders' tag-team partner. He goes all wild eyed moralist and she is calm and on point with the facts.
And then she sets him up for the assisted power bomb off the top rope.
I just turned it on to watch a lady ask Sen. Klobuchar why she has to work hard to pay for feckless lazy poor people
...yeah I should just go to bed
You can be angry in the morning Hakkes. No sense spoiling your rest by getting heated now when you can do so in the morning. You won't even need coffee to wake up.

Cassidy losing his shit about insurance companies making too much profit is so disingenuous.
Cassidy also talking about profits of insurance companies and pharma companies.
How is this not a win for Bernie and the left?
The more people you turn against Pharma and Insurance co's the closer you get to a govt. public option....
Am I off my rocker or are the republicans ceding this argument? For profit healthcare is bad?
I am enjoying the debate minigame of closing my eyes and pretending that Cassidy is actually Engels talking about our healthcare system. It's cathartic. And hilarious to hear what is essentially a diatribe against capitalism by a Republican that wants to abolish Medicaid.

Ok so single payer then??
Yeah, it's just so frustrating. He's so close to having the same talking points as Bernie, but instead he just blames everything on the ACA, making it out as the Insurance companies not having any agency of their own
What the fuck Cassidy?
Take Canada and shake it like a piggy bank and the drugs that fall out won't cover all of the USA?
Yeah no shit, that's not the point. We pay less for the same drugs, population size has fuck all to do with it.
The Republicans want Bernie to attack insurance companies so they can play it up as Bernie's government takeover vs their freedom plan and either way fuck ACA
I'll say it now. The big takeaway from this debate will be that Pharma and Insurance are ripping people off and that helps no one on the right. No one.
edit: shit Graham just agreed that medicare negotiating power on drugs was a good idea and that he'll think about re-importation.
I can't stand Graham talking. It's such a phony version of a perfectly normal accent. It's like some sort of folksy racist bible salesman. I've spent years in the south, the only people who actually sound like him are politicians. It has something to do with the feces that comes out of their faces rotting their vocal cords I think.
When are the moderators going to moderate? 50% of the people on the stage aren't answering questions at all and they're letting people applause forever.

did Graham just describe state medicaid expansion as his "workable third option"?
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
He's stood every time. He's the one that started the standing. Now everyone is doing it.

This is the new Joe the plumber.
Nah, I mean he was standing up before Cassidy even walked off the stage.
Also, my CNNGO preview just expired so I'll have to find somewhere else to watch this thing.

Buh gawd!
Then she was given the most hostile question of the night so far.

Yeah, that kind of question was what I was expecting from CNN
Hmmm
Edit Yeah can't watch this. It's exactly what one would expect. Might as well be Crossfire for all the real debate or persuasion

Yeah you lopsided idiot pharma should have been brought to heel MORE during the ACA, glad you agree

I think Sanders got excited to respond to Cassidy when it was Klobuchar next on the docket and everything just broke down from there.
Fingers crossed for ending this thing with a dance off.

And i'm willing to bet Lindsay Graham wouldn't shut Jake Tapper like he just shushed Dana Basch.
I know he's generally just a blowhard, but fuck that guy.

And Graham tries to slip in that Medicare is failing too
