For Rachel Conner, the 2018 election season has been a moment of revelation.
A 27-year-old social worker, Ms. Conner voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 primaries, spurning the more liberal Bernie Sanders, whom many of her peers backed. But Ms. Conner changed course in this year’s campaign for governor, after concluding that Democrats could only win with more daring messages on issues like public health and immigration.
And so on a recent Wednesday, she enlisted two other young women to volunteer for Abdul El-Sayed, a 33-year-old advocate of single-payer health care running an uphill race in Michigan to become the country’s first Muslim governor. […]
Voters like Ms. Conner may not represent a controlling faction in the Democratic Party, at least not yet. But they are increasingly rattling primary elections around the country, and they promise to grow as a disruptive force in national elections as younger voters reject the traditional boundary lines of Democratic politics. […]
In Maryland, Democrats passed over several respected local officials to select Ben Jealous, a former N.A.A.C.P. president and an ally of Mr. Sanders who backs single-payer health care, as their nominee for governor. …

GREAT NEWS.
Simply put, the Left is overplaying its hand now. They have recognized that they need to keep the courts clear of Constitutionalists, and they also realize they don’t have the intellectual numbers needed to sustain a long con anymore. The two most significant events of the 2018 election season is the #Walkaway campaign, which is real and grassroots as it can be, along with the ascension, celebration, and deification of the Democratic Party’s “The Chosen One”, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist. The cat is OFFICIALLY out of the bag, as now the Left is going ALL IN.
But make no mistake: We MUST win the 2018 midterms, and more importantly we must win DECISIVELY, particularly in the Senate, while maintaining enough of a House edge to prevent RINO’s from having any power by threatening to caucus with the Democrats. Since they have showed their hand, EVERY GOP candidate at all levels from Senator all the way down to assistant dogcatcher should understand that the Democrats will vote AGAINST EVERY BILL that Trump and the GOP, as well as the state and local Republicans, comes up with.
Socialists sell a worm on a hook. I ain’t biting.
There's nothing democratic about the Democrat party.

Can someone explain what the hell single-payer health care means?
Now you or your employer pays premiums and the insurance company pays the doctors.
Under their plan, you pay the taxes and the government pays the doctors.
Its the same structure, how is it single-payer? Perhaps saying Government Health Care scares people away?
The last thing you ever want to be is a line item on the government ledger.
As ‘Democratic’ as the “Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea”
“Single Payer” means “Taxpayer Only.” Cronyist insurance companies contracted with the government (and “insurance” in name only; they are really front groups for corruption at this point) really love this, because it means they can really jack up the prices and you schmucks with lunchpail jobs have to pay a greater amount of your income than any other group, and finally, the government assigns ALL medical care, and you don’t get to keep your doctor nor your plan. If you are old, they will not give you an operation or a procedure that they routinely do on most insurance plans.
That’s “single payer.” Think of it as VA on steroids.
“I love it when a plan comes together.”
Hannibal Smith
What is wrong with these ding bats brains that they all want single payer healthcare? Do they not see how screwed up that is everywhere it is used? The medicine shortages? The month and even years of waiting for surgeries? Doctor shortages cause the Doctors leave and go elsewhere?

She made no difference
