BUT IN A TWIST… This fight seems to be happening over healthcare.

Democrats Bullish on Bernie Sanders and Single-Payer Health Care
WASHINGTON — The last time Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to put every American in the government-run Medicare system, exactly zero of his colleagues supported him.
When the Vermont independent did it again Wednesday, he turned a Senate hearing room into a premonition of a 2020 presidential primary debate as some of the party’s biggest stars lined up to declare their support for an idea that has moved from the fringe to the mainstream with stunning speed.
Sanders announced that 17 Senate Democrats — a third of the caucus — had signed on to his bill, joining a majority of their colleagues in the House, who have already backed a similar bill.
For better or worse, the Democratic Party has now hitched its future to single-payer health care, an idea seen as so radical recently that their last president never seriously considered it and their most recent presidential nominee said it would “never, ever come to pass.”
On Wednesday, Sanders said, “I have no doubt, none whatsoever, that this nation, sooner than people believe, will pass a Medicare for all, single-payer system."
He was surrounded by multiple top-tier 2020 contenders
However Donald Trump seems to think people being able to access the healthcare that would help combat their cancer or any other plethora of different issues, is a curse to the American people.
SANDERS WITH THE CLAP BACK!!!!
So while single-payer healthcare does certainly seem very unlikely with this current administration, it does at least seem like Democrats are starting to get it through their thick skulls that to run on any other health care agenda at this point means to get flanked from the left by somebody who does.
Also let the record state that while Sanders is out doing all this work and garnering support for his bill, $hillary Cunton Is still out here promoting a book and making excuses for why she sucks so much Dick.
Also let the record show that Nancy Pelosi is still an incompetent, vapid, bought and paid for cunt.
