3. The reason I am asking is because I am confused about what it really contains, and if he votes for

it that tells me it isn't as bad as many posters are implying

2. he will not, he voted no on the 1st Reid bill

6. If that is true than it is a bad bill. Sanders is one of the few who puts people before party /nt

7. Always a good indication, in my book -- Bernie is one of my bellwethers. And

he KNOWS how tragic a default would be, unlike those smart assy Freshmen Congress members who just want to make a statement. So I'll be paying attention. If he DOES support it, I have faith he felt it was the best option possible at this late minute, not necessarily that he thought it was a great deal!

8. That is my point exactly. We will see /nt

9. I suspect he will vote Nay

He's often one of the lonely, sane voices saying, "This is bad legislation".

But if he does vote Yea, then yes I agree with your assessment.
