2. I don't buy it. Sometimes there isn't a conspiracy.

Other Dems were talking up a Single Payer/Medicare For All bill several weeks ago. Sanders isn't soloing on this. They all surmised that the repeal was dead. And it was, and likely still is. In the end, the GOP isn't going in on this. They'll do the same political calculations that they did with prior versions. They know that the US public will bury them if they actually vote to intentionally decrease the nation's quality of life. They're going to have to forego the fear that they might be primaried and do what's right. If GOPers are too lazy to defend themselves against a primary opponent, they probably shouldn't be in the political arena in the first place.

Sanders is right, and he's got a right to say what he wants. His listeners also can use discretion in deciding whether or not Sanders' statements resonate with them.
