It's farther to the left than our old policy which was super conservative. Anything without single payer can't be considered liberal at this point.

Did we previously have healthcare legislation more progressive than the ACA? I genuinely don't know, but didnt think so. It was correctly viewed as a big win for Obama, arguments about No True Scotsman notwithstanding.

nope, didn't say we did.

it was a big win.

Why wouldn't we judge American politics on the American political spectrum?

I don't like money in politics very much either, but that's about as fundamental as it gets.

Mr. Trump and the Republican National Committee raised $64 million through a joint digital and direct mail effort in July, according to his campaign. All told, Mr. Trump and his party brought in $82 million last month, only slightly behind Mrs. Clinton, and ended with an enormous pool of $74 million in cash on hand, suggesting he might now have the resources to compete with Mrs. Clinton in the closing stretch of the campaign.

That's great. Might almost be worth watching Hannity for a few minutes to night to see how he deals with that.

I remember a few months ago defending Fox's poll here as legit when they had Trump up in May. They're not bad.
