Why? Because he points out where Bernie is making promises he can't keep?

He's in the tank for Hillary, that's all there is to it.

Anyone who says Universal Health Care can't happen here is full of shit.

Fucken Cuba has it for Christ's sake.

We're the only Goddamned first world country that doesn't have it.

And you know why?

Because politicians like Hillary Clinton have sold their souls to the Health Care Industrial Complex in return for campaign contributions.

I'll have to see what the economists have to say in the coming days about this 'plan'. As to Bernie getting his ideas through the House of Representatives?
Good luck.

Meanwhile the rightwing Wall St. Journal has a piece out on this today.

OK, howabout you make the case of why I should vote for Hillary.

First I'm going to need a little information though.

Can you help me out with the research?

Here's what I need to know.

Since Hillary is owned by her big donors they will be calling the shots, not her.

So, please provide me with a list of those that have donated at least $100,000 to her. I'll need more detail that just "Goldman Sachs" or "JP Morgan" etc. I need to know the names of those individuals in those firms that actually make the decisions of who to donate to and how much. I'm not sure who that would be, so help me out. Would it be the CEO? CFO? members of the board of directors? Just list the power players for me. Then of course I'll need to know where they stand on the issues. For some reason that information doesn't seem to be readily available on the internet, which is why I am asking for assistance.

For being in possession of a valid argument?

You've already said that you're leaning towards Trump if your guy doesn't get the nomination, so why bother?

Where's your evidence for that?

Yes, but unfortunately for your argument, Klein isn't saying that.
