These attacks reached an apex during two Friday morning segments of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," when several pundits—including hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough—and journalists took turns dumping on Medicare for All and Sanders himself, accusing the Vermont senator of "driv[ing] a lot of people towards Lindsey Graham's bill" by agreeing to debate the Graham on a national stage.
"Morning Joe" hosts and panelists charged that Sanders is "stealing the spotlight" and giving Republicans "an absolute gift" by pitting Medicare for All against the Graham-Cassidy repeal bill, which has been described by analysts as the most extreme iteration of Trumpcare yet.
Ultimately, the panel came to the unanimous conclusion that the debate is "politically stupid," that Medicare for All discussions should come "later," and that Democrats should focus solely on pitting the GOP repeal bill against Obamacare—not more ambitious alternatives.

Being dismissed by Mika means that we're doing well, and gaining traction. She's the same one that repeatedly announced that Trump's campaign was finished, and would go nowhere. Her dismissal is is a huge inverted endorsement.

I'll throw this in for end of the world listening. This was always one my favorites from Joe. But, then I've got a pretty close relationship with the ocean.

Not sure about what time zone the southern? portion of the world was supposed to end in, but from where I sit, it's getting pretty close to the expiration date for the waiting time allowed this particular 'religiously-predicted' end time thingy to not run late and past midnight, now less than an hour and a half away.
To pay the utility bills or not bother... hmmmmm...

Maybe a new world just started and we haven't yet noticed - or maybe one now will be born to those in labour with the more civilized, humane and sustainable concepts enabling survival and a more decent life for us all?
I lives in my dreamz - a better, kinder, gentler place, with ponies for all able to properly care for them, lol.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

@Ellen North I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side of the dateline
so it's already tomorrow here and apparently, the world came to an end and I missed it!!! I thought I was going to get the early preview.
Does this mean Trump is still president? Perhaps the world did just end?
