It’s going to be a tough four years for the Corporate-Clinton Democrats who fucked everything up in 2016. The Left is not going to stand for your bullshit like voting against cheaper prescription drugs. There will be a price to pay for your pragmatism, for selling out to the highest bidder. You Clinton supporters own this shit.
Sanders said:
“The Democratic Party has got to make it very clear that they are prepared to stand up to powerful special interests like the pharmaceutical industry and like Wall Street, and they’re not going to win elections and they’re not going to be doing the right thing for the American people unless they have the guts to do that. That 13 Democrats did not is disappointing. I absolutely hope that in the coming weeks and months you’re going to see many of them develop the courage to stand up to Pharma.
If we can import vegetables and fish and poultry and beef from all corners of the Earth, please don’t tell me that we cannot bring in, from Canada and other major countries, name brand prescription drugs of some of the largest corporations in the world. That’s a laughable statement.”
Laughable. So while Astra-Zeneca was laying off 120 workers in Delaware, Tom Carper was defending his vote against importing cheaper drugs into the United States saying there is more to providing affordable health care than this one vote. He’s right there is. However, Senator Carper, it was the wrong vote. Special thanks to Jeff Day for asking this question at Carper’s “rally”.

Meanwhile, Cory Booker is taking some body blows for voting like Delaware’s spineless Senators.
If Sen. Cory Booker was serious about making a bid for the presidency in 2020, as several pundits have speculated, then he just put a huge dent in his odds of winning.
