Spittle flies when he gets REALLY pissed.

2. We HAVE to take advantage of this!

People will die from this and they don't give a shit!

3. This is what I just said elsewhere . . .

Dems should use this opportunity to talk about morality and what kind of country we want to be and how we want to treat our citizens.

It's not just kicking millions off - it's saying Republicans believe it's OK to buy insurance for healthcare based on how much you earn. That's not OK. Teachers, social workers, fast food workers, secretaries, all people deserve quality healthcare.

When Republicans use CHOICE they mean choose what you can afford. What kind of morality is that? And now cancer patients and others will life-threatening diseases will have annual caps and lifetime caps and premiums they can't afford in high risk pools that does nothing to bring down the cost of healthcare. Bankruptcy is now in the future for millions if they live long enough to exhaust their annual and lifetime caps.

Medicare4All - take the profit incentive out of healthCARE now. Insurance companies will still sell adjunct healthcare items and flourish. Rich people will always be able to buy more care. But ALL citizens will get excellent healthCARE and everyone will be covered.

Messaging now is more important than ever. When Taiwain started their universal healthcare system in the 1980s - they did it after years of economic growth. They started from the moral standpoint that a country that now had the money needed to protect it's citizens and they then created their national healthcare system from scratch based on that moral starting point.

Democrats need to find a common thread that they all use. It's not enough to talk about people losing insurance. People listen to that and think - that's not me - those people are lazy or poor or useless. A real concrete message condensed into a couple of sentences repeated over and over is what the Democrats need.

9. Bravo! Very nice post...

If the dems unite (ha!) and hit the reps on all fronts smartly(more ha!), this could be huge. We need lots of energy and $ to get our country back.

6. Yet, but unfortunately we need more effective communicators

After hearing her response, I don't think Nancy Pelosi speaks clearly enough.

5. redumbliCONs have sealed their fate in 2018.

Many will give their lives from illness. Chris is ripping the redumbliCONs a new one!

7. The problem with Tweety Bird is that he is a capricious little whore.

He likes to bloviate and blow hot air out of his ample ass, but when it comes time to put some flesh in the fight, he ALWAYS runs back to the fold which is the religious right. How do I know this? Watch his show (I'm sure it's available) where he had Michelle Bachman and Joy Reid on at the same time. P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C

8. Different strokes ...

We'll have to disagree on this one. Lots of people don't like Chris, but I do. While I don't buy all of his opinions, the opinions he does express are his, honestly and to the point. He has a terrific grasp of political history, has been through much of it himself.

No, he may be Catholic, but he does NOT retreat to the religious right. I don't need you to direct me to one particular segment of Chris Matthew's, I have been watching and listening to him all my adult life and I am 69 years old.

Looks like he isn't the only one who like to bloviate and blow hot air. I don't know, or care, how ample your ass is.
