It may have been intended to be a gateway to single payer, but the Dems never anticipated that the consequences of such an interim step would be the loss or their power and capacity to get to it.
The Dems need the White House, a Dem controlled House and a supermajority Senate. They’ll probably retain the White House in 2016, but they have an even chance of losing the Senate in 2014 and not a lot of hope of retaking the House.
So how do they take the next step? I don’t see how they can ...
It's called tyranny, and the bastard in charge is succeeding tremendoudly.
