Andrea Mitchell interview with Bernie Sanders

on MSNBC a few minutes ago.

Needless to say Bernie was fantastic. She kept hitting him on SS, Medicare and 'entitlement' cuts to balance the budget. Bernie wasn't haven't any of that and kept her on point with facts such as Exxon-Mobil paid 0 Fed. Taxes, asking the rich to pay their fair share, typical Bernie.

Towards the end he told her NO, I would not support cuts in Medicare, SS, etc. and gave his reasons. Classic Bernie, well reasoned and founded on fact, common sense and decency. I love him.

Two things:

His filibuster speech is now available in book form. Titled 'The Speech'

I worry about him. He really gets into it - he's passionate and his face shows tension. stress and concern. I hope he stays well and that this stress doesn't get to him. Seems to me that he realizes that the time has come, this is perhaps our last oportunity to level the field if only a little and he's really giving it his all. Keep him in your thoughts that the stress doesn't get to him. We need him - he's probably one of the very last sane men left in Congress.

Great as always. In my opinion he has never looked better!

Hope he has Tiger blood ;)

try to catch it later

I worry about him too, the man has more heart than everyone in Washing ton put together.

What I don't know about all the wonderful features of the internet and various websites can fill the galaxies. Thanks for picking up the slack. :)

but I will say that when Pat and Bernie retire, odds are extremely good that we Vermonters will replace them with people who are of the same caliber. We have a fantastic farm team on the state level. And Peter Welch who is our Rep is also great.

Did she betray any inkling at all of knowing what Sanders was talking about, or did she have that dog-watching-a-card-trick look?

is no fool. And Bernie made her work for it - he kept getting his points in and at the end of the interview in typical Bernie fashion, said, NO, I will not support cuts to Medicare, and listed the obvious. People go to Emergency rooms, costs are trasferred to taxpayers, people die when not able to get treatment in early stages... He was great.

Always nice to see her get taken apart.

If we call this work.

Does she need to play dress up each day and be on display? She doesn't contribute any provocative debate.

Well, if I were married to Allen I'd want to leave the house, too. Oh my bad! :spank:
