Who won the Sanders-Clinton healthcare debate?

Clinton is a moron for coming out against single-payer.
It's damaging her campaign and had her lose against Sanders in the argument.

Not really. Single-payer will not pass in the current political climate and reopening the debate after banking a significant (and contentious) win with Obamacare would hurt the Democratic Party. Makes sense to me.

With that logic, why try to accomplish any political goals? I'm not a Democrat myself, but most of my libby friends prefer Sanders because he's willing to stand his ground against Wall Street and the Right instead of immediately folding into pressure and offering to "reach across the aisle" as Obama has done. This middle-of-the-road stuff isn't going to work with the base.

Also, beyond the tax increases on lower earners, I think the gigantic tax increases on the rich are a bitter pill to swallow, even for someone who generally supports higher taxes on the wealthy. I think there would be a real possibility of high earners fleeing and taking their tax dollars with them.

lol, relax. It's calling for a tax rate lower than it was under Reagan. No one's going anywhere.
