Claire McCaskill was asked whether or not she supports the idea of a single-payer healthcare system during a town hall with constituents in Missouri. Her answer was an unequivocal "no." She even acknowledged that her answer would be disappointing, noting "this is kind of how I roll." She's up for reelection in 2018, it's time that her constituents vote her out of office since even SHE knows how much of a disappointment she's been.

i get to vote against her
oli godendrocyte me too. i cant wait to vote against her. i need to know who the progressive running is. if ya know, shoot me a message please.
i can’t, bc i live in the EU (which btw also guarantees medicare for all), but i would, if i could. I hope, she gets proimaried by a Berniecrat and voted out.
in wino veritas She’s a neo lib jerk! She said I was t a woman if I didn’t back Hillary I was furious!
we have a huge debt, so we can’t afford it….but we have limited $ for bombs…
Bingo! I made a comment wondering if she uses this same rationale when deciding to get involved in another conflict…….
but how can she make any profit if the companies paying her bribes aren’t selling weapons to 3rd world?

Tre: Well clearly we need to give the 1% more tax breaks that’ll help everything…oh wait…no…actually will make things even worse. nevermind I got nothing to offer of any substance or value; unfortunately neither does Claire and I hope she is voted out soon.
“UNLIMITED”
“I’m going to disappoint a lot of you, this is how I roll.” – Democratic Party 2017
Time to ” roll ” her out of office.
Right!
LOL XD !!! I generally support the Democratic Party, but lately they have turned themselves into a running joke.
Liked and unliked so I could like again.
THAT line RIGHT THERE sums up the party in its current form. We need to primary all of these goons and get real, principled Democrats in office.

Even if you just sign your name in support, you’re sending a message to Claire and all others like her. But I would recommend nominating someone from your community to run as well. Let’s get these corporate shills scared shitless for 2018.
you speak the truth.
If you wern’t spending all those billions murdering people abroad, you’d have more than enough change for a single payer health option.
yaimavol Please Google modern monetary theory.
You forget we already pay for healthcare in the absolute least affordable way possible. If you negotiate drug prices, eliminate the profits of the insurance companies and the administrative costs of managing the extremely complex system you can cover everyone for less than we already spend. The reason its cheaper to get insurance through your employer is due to the large pool of people spreading the risk/sharing the cost. Can you think of a bigger pool than EVERYBODY? There are more effective ways to create jobs than making more missles and submarines. How about infrastructure? How come the debt never comes up when increasing military spending.
Lilikate Buggins ii
she hates free college too
grandmachristine42 I don’t understand why she doesn’t run as a republican. She is in a deep red state and her policies are exactly the same as Republicans
Zucchina I hate her life
Pill Box LOL yeah, we all do 🙂
idea: how about instituting means-testing for medicare
She needs to go…The debit is the Military budget
kms and the golf trips every 4 days, paying for rooms at Trump hotel for secret services. Paying for trips for his son’s business trips.
Sandie Peace 45’s wife living in New York costing us millions.
kms Yes, forgot the missiles, bomb and golf carts.

And what did she say about her needing Bernie a couple of weeks ago again?
YES!!! THIS IS WHAT I WAS THINKING!!! She’s an entitled b*%&$ who expects our votes even though she votes against progressive bills!!!!!
“We want your money and energy and enthusiasm to support our crony capitalist warmongering ways”
“We think it’s time for you to just get over yourself and support something other than just your pesky ideals”
she said please primary, I’m not a good person.

DONT FORGET THE $ 38 BILLION TO ISRAEL

Every single year, at that!
I’m in Missouri. We wouldn’t be able to tell much difference if a Republican had her seat. A 2018 primary is happening.
Cori Bush is absolutely amazing!…but who is going to run against Claire? Please MO, give me someone to campaign for not named Chief Wannadubie down here in Springfield!
soundgrounds really, another Bush?
soundgrounds lol…. thats funny. lov it. I’m kcmo. Claire must go!!!!!!!
get out there and volunteer steve martin!
A 1 and a 2 I have been for Cori Bush. I’ll be knocking on doors for her next Sunday.
Hey mike it would be helpful if you could find out for all of us the real progressives running in the upcoming races so we can all donate some money to those candidates so we can vote out this corrupt politicians
opensecrets.org – I agree, but that site will tell you all you need to know about any candidate for anything.
Look up Justice Democrats and Brand New Congress for that.
Mike, plz do one of these videos for Feinstein
Senator Dianne Feinstein
(202) 224-3841
She is also on record as being against single payer.
That’s also coming!
The Humanist Report Cant wait.
Man, Mike is on fire right now
ScreamingForClemency There is one. She doesn’t support single payer. 🙂
Yes! I love it! Thank you, Mike, for calling out these corporate whores!
the fact that she got applause disgusts me
They were just paid seat fillers.
Sounded like canned applause. That town hall was way too damn tame.
Missouri.
McCaskill is essentially another Hillary.
Zach Seaman You mean McClinton?
Exactly, that captures the corporate vibe of the Clintons. The “Mc” Clintons
She’s going to be disappointed when she is voted out of office, but hey, that’s how voters roll!
Unfortunately, she won’t be. She’ll likely come back to life as a lobbyist or if she was younger, likely end up as a partner at a white-shoe law firm.
As long politicians don’t piss off their donors (owners) and larger network of cronies, life is good for them whether they win or lose an election. In fact, many see winning as just short-term pain until they can get back into private life to make real money again and not have to deal with the public anymore.
