Thanks for posting this, AA.  Although I did bristle at the inaccurate description of Sanders as a "Democratic" Senator, I got a little bit of comfort from the article's general message.  I hope he is able to be disciplined enough to keep this from being his opportunity to pitch his own bill, which has nothing to do with what this debate is supposed to be about.  I still don't understand why he was chosen over a Democrat since there will only be 4 people debating.  I'm pleased that Jake Tapper will be there he knows the facts and he articulates them well.

i hope that he and Klobuchar will take the opportunity to refute the lies that will undoubtedly be spouted, by reading directly from the current bill.  I hope they will quash the repetitive lie that Obamacare was in a "death spiral" before the republicans sabotaged it in every way they could.  I hope they do this by listing the things the R's specifically did to pull the rug out from under Obamacare. 

My fear remains, as I wrote about in my blog, [Bernie to Republicans, "You're welcome"] that Graham will successfully goad Sanders into doing what Bernie loves to do most: rant, rave, point, etc about MEDICARE For All, and thereby hand this horrible bill a win.  The article made me feel better about it, but I am still worried.
