(14,178 posts)Dana is insufferable to put up with. Rudely making emotive noises in the background while he's speaking. Her face involuntarily twitching in discomfort whenever words like "single payer" or "public option" or "poor" is spoken. How fast she had to jump on the end of his last word on the "public option" which is cut off on that first video. Where she must insist on throwing cold water by pointing out how impossible it is to get the votes. Along with her dismissive forced laughter like he's a senile old uncle telling her he's going to buy her a pony.
I particularly like how he battled her insistence that he answer if there will be a filibuster!!!! A filibuster is sexy, a filibuster is also a way to get a story on "angry Democrats shut down government!" as a way to balance all the plethora of daily negative coverage for the Trumpublicans. He stood firm in the truth that its not about what the Democrats or he will do in regards to filibustering some as yet to be determined outcome, but that it was in Republicans hands to find 60 votes. That is the important bit.
