41. Then please explain how we would have passed single payer.

I mean, "my approach" has been utterly exposed. It ought to be easy for a "true progressive" like yourself to explain how you would have gotten past Republican filibusters, members of our own party that wouldn't budge, kept the blue dogs in the House in line (the present bill only passed by 7 votes), etc.

I'll even give you extra bonus points if you can keep from using worn out phrases like "bully pulpit" and "make them filibuster" (Republicans wouldn't have cared).
