Bernie needs far more than the White House to get even a fraction of his agenda done.

Bernies understand me that single payer won’t be the outcome. (I think is people had it as a talking point a few weeks ago). It’s the republican strategy of being so far to the right that the compromise occurs right of Center that’s the goal. The conversation moves based on the extreme positions being argued for. The end point of any universal health care in the US is clearly government subsidized public option.
