Sen. Bernie Sanders stormed the Senate floor on Monday to slam the secret Republican effort to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, saying to Republicans, “What are you afraid of?”

The Vermont senator slammed the GOP plan for its content, its secrecy, and the fact that there have been zero committee hearings on the legislation – unprecedented for a bill of this magnitude.

1. It is impossible to embarrass them...look who their leader is!

Yet, even that idiot called it "mean" and "a son of a bitch". It will pass, he will have a beer-fest in the rose garden, the rich will get richer, millions will lose their jobs, and MILLIONS more will physically suffer and die (I am one of them). Yippee! They won!

2. Awesome!

Bernie has been speaking out about their attempts to dismantle the ACA for months.

Keep up the excellent work, Senator! Give em hell, Bernie!

10. Did you see the dynamic duo on Facebook?

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren hosted a live Facebook Q&A on the Republican health care bill

By Nik DeCosta-Klipa updated at 5:23 PM


"Amid all the noise about President Donald Trump and the Russia investigations, Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have something else important they want you to pay attention to: Senate Republicans’ quiet push to to pass a health care bill.

The progressive power duo of New England senators is hosting a Facebook Live question and answer session at 3:30 p.m. Monday on Sanders’s well-followed account."

Bernie and Elizabeth are here to kick Republican ass and chew bubblegum, and they're all out of bubblegum.



Thank Cthulhu we have progressive firebrands like them leading the way. Kudos to ALL of the senators who are standing in solidarity to fight Trump's agenda!

We may not win this round but it's important to prevent GOP shills from hogging the media spotlight. We need to use every medium to get our message out - television, newspapers, social media, town halls, rallies - and remind the people who's fighting for them.



How are you, my friend?

3. "Storms"? He walked on calmly after a couple of dozen Democratic Senators had already spoken.

If anything, I would say Cory Booker "stormed" the Senate floor, he was the Senator who led the Democratic stall tonight.

Booker did a yeoman's job tonight, thanks to the NJ Senator!!!!

[sheshe2]

4. Hot dayum!

I love Cory Booker.

Thank you Senator Booker.

[melman]

8. How embarrassing

For you, that is, that you can't resist the urge to shit on this. Just because the hate is so strong.

It's really sad. And embarrassing.

[NurseJackie]

12. LOL!

[George II]

14. Sorry that my explanation of what really transpired saddened you. Oh well....

[NurseJackie]

18. I prefer accuracy and truthfulness over exaggerations and hyperbole.

I guess the only thing missing from the headline was "... and you'll never believe what happened next!"

[NastyRiffraff]

30. I guess some people prefer the image

of the mighty Bernie Sanders "storming." The truth? Bah! Alternative facts!

(Not to alerter: There was nothing wrong with Bernie speaking, but "storming" is an exaggeration, to say the least.)

[KTM]

17. +1

Nothing new though.

[Foamfollower]

24. What's embarassing is one Senator trying to take credit for another's hard work.

"Storms" ROFL!!!!!

[David__77]

27. I don't think a Senator wrote the article in the original post.

So, I'm not sure which "one Senator" you might be referring to - who is that?

[LanternWaste]

35. I too pretend accuracy is merely an "urge to shit..."

I too pretend accuracy is merely an "urge to shit" as well when my bias and narrative demands it (though no doubt, it certainly does advertise our narrative much more obviously than we realize).

Hopefully, we both find that sad and embarrassing also, regardless of the obvious hate we both allege and project onto others.

[NurseJackie]

11. It was definitely CORY BOOKER'S night. His show. His moment to shine. HE is the TRUE LEADER that...

... this country AND this party needs.

Booker is the RIGHT man for the job.

I admire Cory Booker SO much!

[NastyRiffraff]

31. I love Cory Booker!

A Democrat who speaks for us!

[MineralMan]

32. Yes. Al Franken also "Stormed" onto the floor and

uttered strong words. That's as it should be.

[virtualobserver]

56. sigh

[George II]

13. Actually the biggest thanks go to Senator Cory Booker, who organized the discussion...

...on the Senate floor and kept it flowing smoothly.

Excellent job.

[NurseJackie]

21. It's unclear why Cory Booker, a Democrat, is being snubbed.

Weird.

Oh well, I still love him. He's the greatest. He's our party's rising star.

[George II]

22. I have a feeling....

[NurseJackie]

38. LOL

[Warren DeMontague]

40. Internetz

[NurseJackie]

41. LOL

[David__77]

26. Why is it either/or?

I don't get that.

[George II]

28. You may want to ask Warren.

[George II]

42. See above.

[beam me up scottie]

44. Mic drop.

[George II]

45. Wrong "above" - see #26.

[George II]

47. Post #26, which was asked of me:

26. Why is it either/or?

I don't get that.

[George II]

49. It's your OP.

[George II]

51. My mistake, I meant you wrote the post to which I originally responded, prompting the question.

But I do get the two of you mixed up sometimes.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

52. .

[Hassin Bin Sober]

57. Does that mean you have the stuff? Or do I?

[Behind the Aegis]

6. Good!

[burrowowl]

9. Thanks to all the fighting Senators

[MineralMan]

15. Thanks, Senator Sanders for Standing with Democrats on This.

We appreciate your support and your vote. Now, if you can convince a few Republicans to do the same, this bill won't pass.

[Amimnoch]

16. Thank you Democratic Party leadership, and their ally.

[NurseJackie]

20. Truth in reporting and analysis. Thank you.

[ananda]

19. Can the Dems keep on doing this every day?

I don't want this bill to even come up for a vote.

[Foamfollower]

23. STORMS THE FLOOR!!!!!

[NurseJackie]

25. I know, right? I mean... seriously now.

[Orsino]

29. Stormin' Sanders!

Slammin' Sanders!

It's a good taunt, hyperbole or not. Everyone on the left should be dragging the GOP non-stop over their fake repeal.

[beam me up scottie]

33. I just saw an op saying Al Franken is storming the floor too. They're all STORMING!

"Everyone on the left should be dragging the GOP non-stop over their fake repeal."

I couldn't agree with you more! We need Storming Sanders and every other senator who's willing to get up there and fight.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

34. So much for being speechless.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029226308

Hopefully, enough R's will be embarrassed by this bill and its secretive process that they will help vote it down.

[MuseRider]

55. Very well said Senator Sanders!

Keep it up, I know you will.
