does put her way ahead of Sanders. But she really needs to stop lying about Democrats and to break with dishonesty as a major strategy, or her district will eventually replace her.

The public option IS our Democratic plan that we intended to include from the beginning. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid had it studied and written and fought for two years to include and pass it. We would have passed the public option 3 years ago now if some very bad things hadn't happened in 2016 -- that she was part of.

So, lying that it would be a "deep" Democratic "compromise" is a huge insult and also a betrayal. We don't need another matured ruthless anti-Democratic Party liar, and certainly not a far more competent one.

We'll see eventually how much she wants to hold onto her seat and advance within congress. Sanders himself was corrupted into always-resentful compliance by his determination to keep his cushy job, but not interested in actually, you know, working and becoming effective. She may be different and evolve that way.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
