53. If Bernie were legit he would vote against it!
How can you say how this is such a huge giveway to corporations and special interests and then turn around and vote for it. If the vote was 80-20, and it didn't make a difference, then who cares. But any one of the 60 senators can kill this thing. So if it's so bad, just pull the plug on it.

Bernie is just another sellout. If he really believed what he is saying he wouldn't be voting for it.
