In reply to the discussion: Enough of the bull$hit. It's not that HRC and cronies think Bernie can't get single payer passed [View all]DanTex
(20,709 posts)My opinion is that the OP has no idea what he/she is talking about, and probably couldn't name a single supposed Clinton "crony" who stood to lose a lot of money with single payer. Certainly not the Wall Street people -- half of them are probably short the healthcare industry and would profit if it collapsed. I feel that the OP, a long with a lot of Bernie fans, have some demonish vision of Clinton and her "cronies" sitting around trying to enrich themselves, when the simple fact is, rich people who want more money for rich people already have the whole GOP to choose from.
Combine that with the obvious fact that single payer is going nowhere, Bernie or no Bernie, and that even liberal commentators that have looked at Bernie's plan have concluded it's a fantasy, and the conspiracy theories become even more absurd.
Hence the mind reading statement. The OP was sufficiently preposterous, in my opinion, that comparing it to tarot card reading was appropriate.
