Hillary Rodham Clinton Sounds Like A Realist – Not A Republican

Reality is often difficult to embrace for some people and it is curious why seemingly intelligent people continue gravitating towards fantasy. The reality in America today is that one side of the political spectrum cannot comprehend that they are not in charge, have little hope of being in charge, and yet believe one man will put them in charge and transform Republicans into a compassionate, caring, and socially conscious political party. This is in spite of a solid six years of Republican barbarism targeting the American people and a steady increase in their dominance in state legislatures and Congress. All the while, a segment on the left are dead certain that with the election of their chosen candidate, Republicans will magically self-transform into raging liberals and give their undivided support to what many, many Americans regard as ‘socialistic’ policies; this segment of the left are the EmoProgs.
Yesterday, a particular point of contention between Democrats running for the presidential nomination prompted neo-Democrat candidate Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to claim that former Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was “sounding like a Republican” because she failed to support his monumental healthcare overhaul. So it has come to the point that, like every Republican, evangelical, and tea party conservative is wont to do, not supporting a policy is “sounding like the opposition.” It is a troublesome practice Mr. Sanders is prone to employ and nearly as despicable as accusing Democrats of endorsing the Koch brothers when they ask the Sanders campaign to receive fewer email requests for donations.
What has Senator Sanders upset with Clinton is because she said her healthcare position is strengthening “Obamacare” and bringing down costs as opposed to Senator Sanders’ “Medicare-for-all that will raise health care costs for average Americans;” something Senator Sanders said is just plain wrong. However, he also said that “Sometimes where the discussion becomes really absurd is that we will increase Medicare premiums, that is true. Yes, there will be Medicare premiums, it’s not free, but we are doing away with all private health insurance costs.” Now, forget that Medicare premiums will be increased under the “single payer” plan because “it’s not free;” that is obvious. But doing away with all private health insurance costs is a fantasy unless Republicans suddenly vanish off the Earth.

Sometimes the adult in the group has to be the one to say No.
If single payer wasn't passed in a much more liberal era, do any of you truly think that it will pass now?????
liberals to Congress that Democrats will have the huge majority that they would need to pass a single payer plan that would expand Medicare to all and that would dismantle all private insurance companies?
Obama, a more centrist and open to compromise Democrat, was beaten over the head over and over by the Republicans in Congress. Sanders is more Left leaning than Obama and less likely to be open to compromise. What exactly will he get accomplished? I find it amusing when I read here that Sanders has no enemies in Congress, but they fail to mention that he also doesn't have that many allies. Congressional endorsements by his Democratic colleagues have been overwhelmingly in Hillary's favor. Which is understandable since she is an actual Democrat. He just joined the party recently.
And capital punishment.
