Bernie Sanders Takes The Healthcare Fight To Trump Country

WE HAVE BERNIE SANDERS BACK ON
TOUR THIS WEEKEND FOR CARE NOT CUT RALLIES IN KENTUCKY AND WEST
VIRGINIA, THIS IS TO CONTINUE BUILDING OPPOSITION TO THE
SENATE HEALTH CARE BILL, AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRUMP
TERRITORY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
SHOULD REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP
BE SCARED ABOUT THIS?
HELL YES THEY SHOULD.
RANDOM THING HERE, EVERYONE HAS THEIR
OWN OPINION, I CERTAINLY HAVE MINE, BUT HOWARD DEAN WAS
TALKING TODAY ABOUT HOW THE DEMOCRATS WILL DEFINITELY WIN
THE HOUSE BACK IN 2018, AND IF THE REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE
ALSO PASS THEIR HEALTH CARE BILL, AND OBVIOUSLY TRUMP WILL
SIGN IT AND IT GOES INTO EFFECT, ETC., DEMOCRATS WOULD ALSO WIN
BACK THE SENATE.
WHICH IS A VERY HARD THING TO DO, GIVEN THAT IT'S MOSTLY
DEMOCRATS UP FOR REELECTION IN THE SENATE.
BUT IT'S EASIER IF YOU JUST ASSUME IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
WE WILL VISION BOARD OUR WAY THERE.
THAT'S HOW TRUMP WON THE
PRESIDENCY.
I'M A LITTLE SKEPTICAL ABOUT HOWARD DEAN THESE DAYS, I THINK
TO SOME DEGREE HE GOES ALONG WITH THESE ESTABLISHMENT
PLAYERS, HE THOUGHT HILLARY CLINTON WAS DEFINITELY GOING TO
WIN, BIG GRAIN OF SALT THERE, BUT I THINK HE'S OVERALL RIGHT
THAT THIS HEALTHCARE ISSUE IS WAY MORE DAMAGING TO THE
REPUBLICANS THAN THEY REALIZE, AND I LIKE THAT HOWARD DEAN IS
FOCUSING ON AN ACTUAL ISSUE AS OPPOSED TO RUSSIA, RUSSIA,
RUSSIA.
THAT'S A LONG WAY OF GETTING BACK AROUND TO SAYING I
THINK BERNIE SANDERS' STRATEGY OF GOING AFTER THEM IN KENTUCKY
AND WEST VIRGINIA -- BY THE WAY THE 50 STATE STRATEGY, HENCE
HOWARD DEAN AGREEING WITH THAT MAKES SENSE -- I THINK IT'S
EXACTLY RIGHT.
IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE I HELPED FOUND THE
JUSTICE DEMOCRATS, THEY ARE PRIMARY-ING CORPORATE DEMOCRATS
SO THEY CAN RUN TOUGH RACES AGAINST REPUBLICANS, NO MORE
KID'S GLOVES, NO MORE OH, MY DONOR WOULD BE DISPLEASED IF I
RAN A RACE LIKE THAT -- JUSTICE DEMOCRATS DON'T TAKE ANY BIG
CORPORATE DONORS, NO PAC MONEY, YOU TALK ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA,
YEAH, WE HAVE PAULA JEAN SWEARINGEN THERE WHO IS
BREATHING FIRE AGAINST JOE MANCHIN, WHO PLAYS PATTY CAKES
WITH TRUMP A LOT OF TIMES.
INCLUDING POSSIBLY ON THIS ISSUE.
YES.
TO BE FAIR TO MANCHIN, HE HASN'T VOTED WITH THE
REPUBLICANS ON HEALTHCARE YET.
HE'S NOT SAYING HE WOULD SUPPORT IT, BUT IF THERE WAS TO
BE A DEMOCRATIC FLIP IT WOULD BE HIM AT THIS POINT.
IT WOULD ALWAYS BE HIM, BUT IT HASN'T HAPPENED ON THIS ISSUE.
AND THAT'S NOT BERNIE'S AGENDA GOING TO WEST VIRGINIA, HE'S NOT
TRYING TO RUN AGAINST OTHER DEMOCRATS OR ANYTHING, BUT WHAT
HE'S SAYING IS IF WE ARE STRONG AND PROGRESSIVE A COURSE WE
COULD WIN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
WEST VIRGINIA USED TO BE FILLED TO
THE RIM WITH DEMOCRATS UNTIL THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BECAME
CONSIDERED AN ELITIST PARTY, THE PARTY OF THE 1%.
LET'S GO THE
OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND SAY WE ARE ACTUALLY REPRESENTING YOU
GUYS.
THE REASON I BROUGHT UP JUSTICE DEMOCRATS IS BECAUSE IN
ONE OF OUR MEETINGS I SAID, AND I PLAN TO DO THIS, I THINK
KENTUCKY SHOULD BE THE EPICENTER OF OUR FIGHT BACK.
WHEN YOU TELL
ESTABLISHMENT DEMOCRATS THAT, THEY ARE LIKE, I DO DECLARE, YOU
ARE SO NAœVE.
KENTUCKY IS REPUBLICAN.
IF WE RUN A
CORPORATIST LIKE ALLISON GRIMES, A STANDARD SUPER BORING
ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE, MAYBE WE COULD BEAT MCCONNELL BY
PRETENDING TO BE REPUBLICAN LITE -- HOW DID THAT TURN OUT?
DISASTROUS AS ALWAYS.
WHAT IF SHE HELD A BIBLE IN A COMMERCIAL?
I THINK WE WILL WIN WEST VIRGINIA WITH PAULA JEAN
SWEARINGEN, GO TO JUSTICE DEMOCRATS.COM TO DONATE TO THE
PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATES, I THINK WE CAN GO ALL THE WAY TO
KENTUCKY.
YOU KNOW WHAT BERNIE WAS TALKING ABOUT?
OBAMACARE HAS
TREMENDOUSLY HELPED PEOPLE IN KENTUCKY.
IF YOU TAKE AWAY THAT
OPTION IN KENTUCKY, IT'S GOING TO HURT REAL PEOPLE.
REPUBLICANS
WILL JUST RUN ADS, THEY GET TONS OF MONEY FROM THEIR GIANT
DONORS, THEY RUN ADS TRYING TO TRICK YOU. AND IT WORKS.
UNTIL
YOUR GRANDMA ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSES MEDICARE, OR YOUR DAD
LOSES MEDICAID, AND SOMEBODY IS SICK AND YOUR FAMILY.
YOU ARE
LIKE, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
THEY TOOK AWAY OBAMACARE, THAT
IS WHAT HAPPENED.
AND REPUBLICANS KNOW THIS.
MITCH
MCCONNELL, IN THE CLOSING WEEKS OF HIS RACE, RAN ADS PRETENDING
TO BE IN FAVOR OF KENTUCKY'S VERSION OF OBAMACARE.
EVEN THEY
KNOW THAT PROGRESSIVE, POPULIST POLITICS WORKS.
SO BERNIE TAKING
THE FIGHT TO THEM IN KENTUCKY AND WEST VIRGINIA ISN'T
MISGUIDED AS A STRATEGY, IT'S PERFECT.
ALSO YOU HAVE RAND PAUL FROM THE RIGHT SAYING THE HEALTHCARE
BILL DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH.
THIS IS HOW OUT OF TOUCH -- KENTUCKY,
RIGHT?
WEST VIRGINIA AND KENTUCKY.
I'VE SEEN CLIPS OF
COAL MINERS TELLING SANDERS -- LIKE THEIR MIND IS EXPLODING --
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST IS
REPRESENTING ME AND MY CONCERNS BETTER THAN MY OWN SENATOR IN
WASHINGTON.
IT'S LIKE, YEAH, BECAUSE WE ARE ACTUALLY TALKING
ABOUT ISSUES AND PEOPLE.
AND THERE ARE STUDIES THAT SHOW THAT
THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE MOST AFFECTED BY THE REPEAL AND
REPLACE OF OBAMACARE WITH THIS PIECE OF SHIT LEGISLATION ARE
TRUMP VOTERS, AND PEOPLE RELIANT ON MEDICARE.
I WANTED TO QUICKLY
SHOW A PIECE OF NEWS BROKE'S VIDEO, BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY
THINK TRUMP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT ON
HEALTHCARE, AND IN FACT MAYBE HE ACTUALLY WANTS UNIVERSAL
HEALTHCARE, WANTS SINGLE-PAYER HEALTHCARE, AND THAT THE PEOPLE
WHO VOTED FOR HIM OUR RIGHT TO DEMAND THAT HE DELIVER ON THAT.
I WANTED TO THROW TO A CLIP FROM THAT VIDEO.
TRUMP ACTUALLY SOUNDS MORAL, LIKE HE CARES.
DOES TRUMP CARE?
BECAUSE IN OFFICE HE HAS SAID MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THE
FAILED REPUBLICAN HOUSE HEALTH CARE BILL WAS, QUOTE, MEAN,
AND HE WANTED TO SEE A SENATE BILL WAS JUST ONE THING.
I SPEAK FROM THE HEART, I WANT TO SEE A BILL WITH HEART.
A BILLETS GOING TO BE A PHENOMENAL BILL FOR THE PEOPLE
OF OUR COUNTRY.
GENEROUS, KIND, WITH HEART.
THAT'S WHAT I'M
SAYING.
AND THAT MAY BE ADDING ADDITIONAL MONEY INTO IT.
YOU HEARD THE REPUBLICAN, PUT HEART AND MONEY INTO HEALTHCARE
-- WAIT, WHAT?
IS THIS ANOTHER DISTRACTION FROM THAT OTHER
DISTRACTION'S DISTRACTION?
ARE WE BOMBING NORTH KOREA RIGHT
NOW?
TRUMP PROMISED UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
WHAT BERNIE IS
SAYING IS, IF YOU PROMISE THAT YOU SHOULD DELIVER ON IT.
WELL
PLAYED, EXACTLY RIGHT.
