Bernie's presentation last night in McDowell County, West Virginia, went very well!

This was on MSNBC last night (on 3-13-17) and was posted by Chris Hayes. Sen. Bernie Sanders did very, very well in addressing the major issues and bringing a lot of truth and light to the Republicans' health coverage bill now going through the house.

For details of this, see: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/3/13/1643084/-Bernie-at-the-town-hall-in-McDowell-county-West-Virginia.

This is a kind of thing that Sen. Sanders does very well and he had an attentive audience which certainly was willing to hear what he said.

Any thoughts about this televised presentation?

I posted in another thread about this, but I think it went well. My hope is that these people will return to their democratic roots and realize their great contribution to the unionization of workers, leading to better pay, benefits, and safety for all.

I wish that someone would have brought up that this isn't all about Trump. In fact, the bill in question doesn't have anything to do with Trump, other than he will be expected to rubber stamp sign it.

They needed to emphasize more that it is the Republican Party doing this. How about some sanity in voting choices down ballot, too?
