Eliminating the private health insurance industry even if it would be down the road. in polling when you ask people about medicare for all, the branding is popular. but when you ask about eliminating private health insurance, the obama line, if you like your insurance, you can keep it, that wouldn t be true, when the popularity drops a lot. it will be interesting as we really debate the details of medicare for all, if we get into it in the democratic primary, which i think we will, whether that popularity remains and whether it creates an opening for a bloomberg or schultz. when we talk about the gulf when it comes to policies and positions related to democrats, there s a discussion on all ma millionaires tax. bloomberg says it s probably unconstitutional. this is another place where there are divisions. yes. but i think you have to remember that primary campaigns are inherently skewed to the left in ....
3:00 in the morning and work until 10:00 at night. it s not that you ve been working hard for 35 year. it s not that you stayed in school and got advanced degrees, or it s not that you wake up and take two, three jobs so your kids can go to community colleges, and then go on to other colleges, possibly, and have a better life than you. it s all because of me that this economy is doing well. why, that s elizabeth warren thinking, by republican standards. isn t it? it s another way sort of like donald trump s version of i alone can fix. another incarnation of that. i alone can fix it. the famous obama line, you didn t build that, is what you re referring to. and look. trump fundamentally every decent real conservative republican believes we have a giant, private economy, that the government can affect on the margins. the policy moves the needle a little bit. you can create good economic conditions, get government out of the way. speaking here if you were a real conservative. get go ....
These kids struggling to breathe and to survive. and i think the american people had kind of an eruptive reaction to that the way he normally does to everything. you want something done quickly. you want something to fix this so it doesn t happen again. in fact, you d like it to be erased if you could from history. but it s too late for that. i think in a way his eruptive reaction to things is very much trumpian. i think in terms of the politics, this is going to be a very popular act in itself. as richard engel has been saying, if this is all the narrative there is, if this is the beginning and end, yes. but as churchill once said, there s two kinds of success, initial and ultimate. if this is the whole story, yes. i think there were two lines drawn before tonight. one was the red line that obama talked about in terms of assad using cmical weapons. he crossed that line, and obama didn t do anything. and the second line, which is pretty much the same line as the obama line. is this pre ....
To what we ve all learned took place tonight. well, like everything else in the middle east, brian, this is not a simple answer. i think nick kristof is right. there is definitely virtue in making sure that assad understands that if he steps over that line, that line from the conventional remember, the conventional brutality has been horrible. hundreds of thousands of dead in syria because of assad. but if he steps over that line into the unconventional, there is a price to be paid. that s a good thing, but there s some profound questions here. look, as a member of congress, i have to note that the constitution of the united states says that the united states will not go to war without congressional approval. and the fact is that we just did that. and the american people need to think about that, and more importantly perhaps is what s next. i remember back in the 90s when the clinton administration did a similar strike, i believe, in somalia. and, you know, it really didn t make a ....
