He pulls out one of Trump's tweets at 10:20. 

The entire speech is pretty good though!

Bernie is far from perfect, but wow I would love him or someone with similar values being president :(

I'm enjoying the focus and attention being afforded to Bernie and his positions. I wish it had come sooner, but better late than never. 

Bernie is the statesmen we needed and didn't quite deserve.

This is a statesman. Love him so much. Instead of wallowing in despair after the Democrats have gone up in flames, he's charging forward. He's everywhere, getting out his message. He's the definition of a leader. It's not about politics for him, he seems to be one of the few Congresspersons who genuinely wants to help people. I pray he runs in 2020. He'll be our generation's FDR following our generation's Herbert Hoover.

He won't comment on whether he will run again in 2020, I think that's a sign he's considering it. If he wasn't, he would probably just say no.

Nice...but he is just screaming at the clouds, tbh. 

They are repealing Obamacare, like it or not. 

We can forget about moving towards affordable healthcare. We are going to be going in reverse, not forward.

Obamacare was going in reverse. Premiums were up by 50% in most states and if you didn't want to pay the insane price, you were penalized. Absolutely destroyed a lot of people in suburban areas with not a lot of money, one of the reasons Trump won. Whether you like it or not, Obamacare failed in one of its core principles, to provide affordable healthcare.

Yeah, yeah...just wait until there is no affordable healthcare available at all. 

Healthcare is going up across the board and has been for well over a decade. It isn't just Obamacare that was increasing. Plus, the premium increases were going to be partially covered by grants. 

Now, these people will have nothing. That's going backwards, instead of working through the growing pains of this massive undertaking. People, including millions if conservatives are going to regret this.

Actually the day they repeal Obamacare they will immediately replace it with the affordable program they came up with so no one will go un insured. Lets give them the first 100 days and then make final judgement.

No, they won't. It will take a while to replace, as they don't have anything ready or in place to take its place. 

The GOP doesn't care if people go uninsured...not unless it will keep them out of office. 

You can give them a hundred days or all the time in the world- your choice. I don't need to give them a waiting period, as they are already talking about doing exactly what everyone knew they were going to do.
