There's profound skepticism in Congress about Sanders' ability to get his agenda passed. Two-thirds of Democrats in the Senate have not signed on to Medicare for All, which would cost an estimated $30 trillion to $40 trillion over ten years. And that's just one of Bernie Sanders' many proposals. There's also free public college, cancellation of all student debt, a federal job guarantee, and a Green New Deal to rapidly reduce carbon emissions.
Anderson Cooper: How much will that cost?
Bernie Sanders: Obviously, those are expensive propositions, but we have done our best on issue after issue-- in paying for them.
Anderson Cooper: Do you know how all-- how much though? I mean, do you have a price tag for-- for all of this?
Bernie Sanders: We do. I mean, you know, and-- and-- the price tag is-- it will be substantially less than letting the current system go. I think it's about $30 trillion.
Anderson Cooper: That's just for Medicare for All, you're talking about?
Bernie Sanders: That's just Medicare for All, yes.
Anderson Cooper: Do you have-- a price tag for all of these things?
Bernie Sanders: No, I don't.

Pennsylvania and other states won’t like that.
That was my thought about my little graphic word for 'demoncRats' these days.
I almost felt guily about the label, but it's fitting.
He thinks he is going to win Texas. Why, he said so himself only last night. :)
Now I am not a bad man, so I am go to put that down to too much moonshine after his victory in Nevada last night.
It won’t cost him anything.
It will cost the rest of us quite a bit.
And theres the proof hes a communist: cost doesnt matter, were gonna just take from the haves and give to the have nots as we see fit - there is no other way to pay for it.
Yeah, after a dose of truth they have to run off to a “safe space...”
Doesnt matter. Right now Bernie is #1 on the she-devils list of greatest hits. Its down to either a plane crash or a fatal heart attack that cant be traced like they did with Breitbart. Their suicide methods arent working so great. Everyone can see through those.
The sympathy I almost feel is because their current front-runner isn’t even a Democrat; that is why so many were fine with screwing Bernie 4 years ago, and I suspect many will be fine with doing it again.
He openly stated at the end of the Nevada debate that he didn’t want to follow the party rules if a candidate didn’t have a majority of delegates; he was the only one to say so.
Ole Bernie gonna be tough to shake this time.
Those who favor him will take a walk.
I agree; they won’t watch him get sidelined again.
