It won't be popular but a few thoughts:

1) This isn't Scandinavia folks, we have neither the social cohesion nor the trust in government for their system to work in this country. Bluntly the Government can't run the VA, It generally can't find its keister with both hands. So who will believe government run healthcare will work? And if government sets the prices & terms of service it's government run healthcare.



2) Bernie has not much for allies & NO IOU's on the hill. Frankly he couldn't get a bill renaming an outhouse in the Bitterroot National Forest through Congress much less Medicare for all or all the Freebies he's promising. Trying to do it with executive orders will merely tie everything up in court. Congress is more obliged to the big donors then the voter's. Which means he likely won't have majority support in his own party much less Congress in general.



3) National polls are completely irrelevant. This is 50 separate STATE Elections not a national one. Don't make that mistake.



4) Lastly for those going on about Blue no matter who or we will name a moderate VP and the middle will vote for us. I got news most the middle not far left nor far right voters who have enough brains to pour urine out of a boot with instructions written on the heel (Which isn't all I admit) Are aware enough that being VP means you carry out policy you don't make it. Which means they're smart enough to know the VP has NO say in policy and is irrelevant. Over 80 years ago John Nance Garner said being VP wasn't worth a pitcher of warm urine. It isn't worth any more today. So if you believe that a moderate VP pick or Blue no matter who will pull A self proclaimed Socialist over the top in this election? Don't it's a bad bet.
