So it looks like the 2020 presidential race is shaping up to be Donald Trump, who didn’t resign and wasn’t impeached, vs. Sen. Kamala Harris, who’ll try to demonstrate that the reason Hillary lost (besides the Russians) was that she was just too much of a centrist.
When putting together those campaign ads, wouldn’t it be great if Harris could count among her accomplishments that she co-sponsored the Medicare for All bill that would become the law of the land once the Dems took back Congress and the Senate in that astounding 2018 sweep?
Kamala Harris in Oakland: "I support Medicare for all" … "momentum" for single payer health care. "I've always supported the concept."

There you go.
I intend to co-sponsor the Medicare for All bill because it’s just the right thing to do.

That's fine.
Show me how you are going to pay for it.
I'll wait. https://t.co/AhAkahYTw7

Forget about paying for it … it’s the right thing to do.

Gonna take a shot in the dark here and say she's not just doing it "because it’s just the right thing to do." https://t.co/kc7Xa1Ctc1

So when the rubber hits the road, it’s not going to be about Russia, or North Korea, or Iran, or climate change … it’s health care. Hooray for “free stuff!”
