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.
He acted like this is some novel concept cooked up for tonight's debate and he had no thoughts on the topic.

Ron Howard voice :He won't
Oh for sure he won't but it still feels like Graham and Cassidy are giving ground on lefty ideas.
Bi-partisan work that attacks insurance profiteering and high cost pharmaceuticals is a win for everyone in the country except those industries.
Cassidy and Graham are trying to blame the excesses of the private insurance and pharmaceutical industries on Obamacare. Right up until the end of their argument, they sound like total pinkos.
Sen Graham, when Bernie Sanders wants to talk about socialized medicine, you'll know. Everyone will know. You literally can't get him to shut up about it.
"It's the same system, it just has one payer the federal government. It's the Canadian system."
The Canadian system isn't federal and it's not the same system.
And now we're on single payer with Bernie claiming it's not socialism with Cassidy talking about God and a homeless man's version of Obama in 04 DNC. What happened I thought we were keeping this on topic

Pretty sure most of the stage would shush you so they could mansplain it until you had to his the Renegade trigger anyway

Oh my god graham is trying to backpedal like their crazy proposal got people talking about healthcare because NO ONE was talking about it before THESE HEROES came along!
"When we talk about compassion and choice, please do not forget" that they keep trying to defund planned parenthood and throw poor people off insurance.

I follow a bot that turns every tweet of his into a press release;
Nothing about the show specifically that I saw.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

Bernie knows he has to gesticulate at full height for maximum effect
And now he's haranguing graham for having an abortive process in the context of McCain which is pleasing
And then cut to Cassidy who is honestly just a drag. At least Graham knows how to perform.

Graham & Cassidy completely given up on their own bill.
I was mostly reacting to him having stood up too early and just sort of standing behind Klobuchar waiting for his turn.

The frustration in his voice might actually be real. But it is also completely ridiculous for him to have expected anything different.

Honestly klobuchar is bernies unwanted wing woman he just wants to roll up his sleeves and go for jugulars
God I hate listening to Cassidy. He is SUCH a bummer.

Questioner: Planned parenthood allowed me to have kids, why take this away.
Cassidy: Go somewhere else.

Chaperone is the thing I keep coming back to. They gave him a chaperone that wasn't going to let him get into too much trouble.

They're standing up there distinctly ignoring that women will be fucked over under their bill
But over the counter BC guys!

Own this argument, people. It's how we win.

She failed to explain the public option at all unfortunately.
edit IIRC McCaskill is public option in undeserved areas, Schatz is public option Medicaid
