From WaPo:
"Next week, Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz will square off in a debate on CNN over the future of the Affordable Care Act. There will be a lot of chatter about how Sanders was critical of the ACA during last years Dem primary.
But Sanders is a very effective advocate for the law, despite his belief that it didnt go far enough. And this may have the salutary effect of increasing engagement on the part of the left and Sanders supporters in the fight to save Obamacare."
From The Hill:
"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) will go to battle next week in a debate over the future of ObamaCare.
Sanders and Cruz, who both ran for their party's nomination in the 2016 presidential race, will square off in a debate airing on CNN next Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 9 p.m.
The debate will be moderated by CNNs Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. The debate comes as Republicans in Congress craft a plan to repeal and replace former President Barack Obamas signature healthcare law.
A promo for the debate aired during CNN's town hall with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and news quickly spread on social media."

(3,283 posts)it will have little lasting value. In polls taken right after the debate Cruz won 55-45. Count on it. On the other hand at least Sanders is out there trying.
