A study by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University predicted that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” plan will cost $32.6 trillion over ten years.
One more thing — this is a “conservative” estimate, which means the cost could be a lot higher.
The energy among Democrats is fueled by anti-Trump Resistance and the embrace of Socialism.
The anti-Trump energy will get Democrats only so far — there already is evidence it will not be enough. Democrats feel the need to be FOR something, not just AGAINST Trump.
Politico has reported that former President Barack Obama secretly met with nine possible 2020 Democrat presidential candidates like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
It’s important to note that no one expects Obama to support or endorse anyone until an official nominee is named.
Democrats have a real problem on their hands. Almost all of the energy is in the Bernie wing of the party, but rank and file Democrats are bothered by the fact that Bernie isn’t even a party member.
Self-proclaimed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) caused quite a commotion in 2016 when he challenged Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. Hillary came out on top, but not without controversy. Leaks showed those in the DNC worked to sabotage Sanders’ campaign.
The energy behind Sanders’ presidential bid may still be abuzz...
As Democrats audition for their hoped for role as the new Congressional majority, the flow of progressive ideas just keeps coming. So far, they promise to raise taxes, to manifest from thin air “free” college and “free” healthcare, and to be legislative busybodies who monitor our speech, thoughts, and...
I guess since everyone has decided to distance themselves from her, failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has run out of cares to give.
At a Shared Values Leadership Summit, Hillary actually said that identifying herself as a capitalist hurt her in the primary because so many Democrats are socialists.
They claim some of these colleges are seeking non-profit status to enrich themselves. You know, like Harvard.
The Daily Caller reports:

Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other senators are urging the IRS to “closely scrutinize” for-profit colleges that are trying to become nonprofit...
Bernie Sanders has a plan to put every American to work – for the United States government. Once again, Sanders thinks big government is the answer to a problem.
Former NAACP president and current community organizer Ben Jealous is running for Maryland governor and early on received an enthusiastic endorsement from Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). Since then, he’s won the endorsements of Sen...
The field of Democrats running for president in 2020 is going to be huge.
Now that the Clintons are out of the way, everyone is going to get into the game and there will be plenty of fresh, young faces. Yet they could end up with an older ticket.
As the Democratic Party lurches leftward and adopts a distinctly socialist stance, its political center has also shifted left. Amazingly, this new Democratic Party considers among its centrists those figures we tend to think of as radical leftists: Obama, Hillary, and to a lesser extent Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).
Figures once considered...
Former Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) lashed out at his opponent failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for not doing anything about Russian interference despite having the knowledge and also pushed back that he knew Russian bots backed his campaign.
His campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, also told Politico that he...
As someone who studies the anti-Israel movement, the outburst on Twitter by pollster and Bernie Sanders backer James Zogby comes as no real surprise.
But unless you study the bizarro alternate-universe of Israel hatred, this probably will leave you shaking your head in disbelief.
Bernie has been helping Democrats advance the narrative that the GOP tax reform bill is a big break for the wealthy and no good for the middle class. Yet Sunday on Face the Nation, Sanders admitted an inconvenient truth.
Bernie Sanders is proving once again why he should never be commander in chief. A recent official communication from his office claimed that climate change is a threat to military readiness.
Democrats and many people in media mocked the GOP for having 17 candidates in the 2016 Republican primary. Now that the Clintons are out of the way however, Democrats are expected to have a massive field of candidates in 2020.
