Powerful Union Declines To Endorse In Nevada | Katy Tur | MSNBC

  1. Medicare for all removes al of the incentives for Union leadership to kowtow to insurance companies and not have to deal with medical plans ( which I am sure is at least 50% of the work they do ) and focus on wage growth, job security and other important issues the members want addressed.

    1. @Barbara Witchey – I thought your comment was in response to the “liar” comment, NAMES.
      1st, Trump’s childish name calling is his one strength – should one choose to call it that.
      2nd, elaniago acts like Trump, so grain of salt.

  2. … I am so confused.
    The Culinary Union did their best to take a dump on Sanders.
    Now this guy is listing their 3 top priorities which allign perfectly with Sanders’ platform
    This is why unions were destroyed in the US.

    1. If the culinary union wanted to dump on Sanders they would’ve endorsed Biden.
      Like they should have!!
      The culinary union is one of the Best in the country. They’re accepted every where and covers everything. Their leadership fought hard to get this gold standard. So when the stupid Bernie bros attack them. They’re just pushing 60,000 members in Nevada to vote for someone else. These morons have Attached women & moderats. Now 60 thousand voters Bernie needs. You guys are on a roll. You should attack Latinos while Nevada Is voting. Then blacks before South Carolina votes. You’re so smart.

    2. Stener Gut, maybe this union guy knows that the only way to get what his union wants is by taking the Senate, and you don’t get the Senate with Bernie in the White House. I love Bernie, but Bernie without the Senate = nothing accomplished.

    3. @IncognitoTorpedo So the big plan to get what they want is to snub the candidate that will fight for what they want?
      Any other candidate either won’t fight for what they want or negotiate for what they want from a position of total capitulation.

  3. There’s no health insurance better than Medicare for all because it cheaper and everything is negotiable drugs, surgery price no copayments

    1. @Captain1 Jones
      My mother have Medicare for her health insurance, I was involved in a car accident, my mom was in the car with me when another driver hit and totally my car, her hospital bills came out be $42,000 Medicare adjusted her hospital bills to $4000 , that how much my car insurance paid her hospital bills.

    2. @Captain1 Jones If you took the time to research you would learn and know. Go watch John Oliver. Bernie has explained this obmver and over as well as his campaign people. Or you could just be like the rest if the narrow-minded people that refuse to research.

    3. @Captain1 Jones I’m from Canada so I do know how it works. How will it be paid for? Higher corporate taxes, some increased income taxes (Far less than what people currently spend on health insurance) and rerouting of current health spending

    4. @Captain1 Jones This argument of _”what if can’t pass?!”_ can be applied to any policy ever proposed in the history of this country. You’re one of those people that tried to sabotage the NASA space program to ensure the US didn’t reach the moon knowing you’d look like a defeatist tool if they managed to succeed. _”But what if moon lander crash?! Just give up!”_

    5. Captain1 Jones in Canada we call it sin tax, the booze,smokes and now pot get taxed hard for health costs, yanks pay 10$ for 24 beer, in Canada its 50$

  4. Bernsanders.com recognizes that if we want to have an authentic coalition across groups, that the thing to emphasize are our common humanity and sustainability and morality. Medical for all Barniesanders.com

  5. credit to the guy for listening to his members, and also for redirecting the conversation back to policy when msnbc tried going low

    1. @Mr. Wolf easy its already a Disaster if there job choose to take it away now nothing they could do but m4a changes that .

    2. @Mr. Wolf This dumb argument can be applied to any policy, trick is that it only works on small-minded people that are afraid of change no matter how badly that change is needed.
      Hey, we’re going to pass a policy that leaves no American uninsured. _”But how do you know that isn’t the final step in an apocalyptic doomsday prophecy that will bring an end to the entire human race?! Oh no answer?! _*_I declare victory.”_*

      I mean, seriously, do you have trouble leaving your home every day? I mean how can you guarantee that someone isn’t going to run out of bushes and stab you the moment you open your door?

    1. What is ****p? There are a lot of words in the English language and I can’t think of any of the big 7 that end with p.

  6. Prescription drugs CAN be addressed NOW in the Senate. There is a bill sitting on McConnells desk collecting dust. Call on him to bring it to the floor for a vote.

    1. @Hildebeast Clinton And you’re stupid enough to believe a guy who has told over fifteen THOUSAND lies in office.

    2. @Hildebeast Clinton Gullible and narrow-minded sheep. tRump is a fraud and a con man that spews bs lies all day. Smh

  7. Kudos to D. Taylor, you can tell MSNBC were fishing for an angle but he didn’t budge. ‘Vicious attacks’ i checked everywhere and almost every time i see someone referencing the union it’s either a rebuttal or a correction to a false statements.

  8. Agree She was doing her all she could for him to say something negative about Berni!! Bernie just said the Billionaires own the media! Don’t ever forget!!

  9. Regarding a different segment of Katy Tur’s: John Flannery is right, Katy, and you’re only _helping_ the criminal deny his crimes, when you’re too much of a coward to call a crime WHAT IT IS.

  10. MSNBCannibals and their ties to culinary unions reinforces my ideas on why I always prepare my own food and I am very suspicious of Ground beef!!
