    Ah, Some More News - the best channel that leaves you feeling depressed after every video.

    Though re: that specific video, I wish he’d hammered home more on how the worst parts of the bill are delayed to only come into effect after the next midterms. That fact should be shouted from every corner to show just how badly even the Republicans knew this bill would affect their constituents.

      That was definitely highlighted. Not sure how much more he could have pushed the point when there was SO MUCH ELSE to get through.

        Yeah, he mentioned it three or four times, which is a lot for such a short (for them) video. It just feels like it is the salient fact that draws everything together and could be used as a rallying cry against the bill’s supporters. It’s solid evidence that they knew the bill would hurt their voters and so decided to delay the worst parts until after the next election. It’s one of the few things that could sway Republicans against them (they don’t care about hurting others, but themselves?), so we should be getting a knowledge campaign started as early as possible.
