I agree. I like the interviews Stephen Colbert has with the presidential candidates. He is a good host and gives the candidate enough time to profile themselves. But he also asked the tough questions and the questions viewers probably have. This also gives the candidate the chance to address several issues even the more controversieel ones. Stephen is a great interviewer.

[@wendyscott8425]

@@JustMe-ec2ph Sorry, but I'm convinced that if Democrats want to win this election, they have to go with a more moderate approach to getting everyone health care. The public option, which was supposed to be part of the ACA in the first place, would be a fine way of transitioning to Medicare for all. And it wouldn't cause a huge upset in the insurance industry with the attendant firings and unemployment rates going up. As more and more people decided they wanted the public option, the insurance companies would have to compete for customers and will provide better coverage. Meanwhile, more and more people will be covered because of it, plus as more Democrats are elected to state houses and governorships, more of the working poor will get the Medicare expansion, which they should have been able to get all these years. There is a lot that the ACA does for us that most people are unaware of. Medicare for all as a flat out substitute for the ACA, in other words repealing the ACA and just going with Medicare for all, would negate a lot of the good the ACA does behind the scenes to make our health care better.

[@JustMe-ec2ph]

@@wendyscott8425 The majority of Dems want Medicare for all and some Republicans so I disagree on the "more moderate approach" and for sure I am sick of the Insurance Industry making huge profits off of sick and dying people. I also don't like the way some doctors discriminate in favor of those with private insurance over those that have Medicare and Medicaid which I think would disappear if everyone had Medicare for all since Medicare pays more than Medicaid and would get rid of the paper work that comes with that which is something doctors don't like all of the paperwork. I understand since Medicare for all is not a priority of yours that you would be ok with Marianne going back on it but while some people are dismissive of pledges I think if a candidate can't keep their word on a pledge on one issue then they could also go back on their word on other issues. Just cover everyone with the same health care seniors get only better and less cost is the way I rather go. When I google Medicare for all VS the public option I saw this in the results but couldn't get the article to open up and wish I could had because with it being someone that is an administrator of Medicaid and Medicare I would had loved to know their opinion on it....If you want to read it maybe you can get it to open up.

He knows what he's doing and that rubs me wrong. I no longer frequent his show. Credibility shot.

[@AmethystWoman]

@Britt Waller humor is humor and all late night comedians are in it for the one liners. It's the setup of their show. However when it comes to Marianne, the late night people have been extra dismissive trying to paint her like an 800# psychic. It's funny that most doctors are pushing meditation, but if she were to talk about it, it would make her even lower hanging fruit. They have leveled a special kind of distain and wickedness toward her. Nobody asks Yang why he is not qualified or compares him to trump. Funny when "all" he is is a self-employed, self-actualized millionaire as well. Her being dismissed esp by late night people who definitely change the narrative daily, have kept her.off the polls even. How does one have 2% in the polls if their name isn't even on the polls? Yeah.

From a Canadian who has come to view most Americans as morons wallowing in hubris, I have got to say that this woman is the freshest breath of air I've seen in politics ANYWHERE for a very very long time. I cannot say that she would make a good president just on the basis of this wonderfully surprising interview, but I do think that any front runner for the Democratic nomination should seriously consider her as a running mate. Such a position would allow her to acquire some necessary political experience. Now imagine a president in 2024 who combines the compassion of Lincoln, the vision of Kennedy, and the oratory of Reagan; but who wears a dress and heels, and just maybe you can call her Madame President Williamson.

@@MD-tt7zb He has "targeted" pretty much all of the Democratic candidates in one way or another. I don't know what "trend" you are referring to. And if you think that means that I "hide under a rock," then that's your opinion. I acknowledge that you have come to that conclusion about me, a random person on the Internet that you've never met in real life. The "rock" that I'm "hiding under" is the belief that Stephen Colbert and his writers are not intending to sway Democratic voters to a specific candidate for the primaries. As far as I can recall, they didn't do that explicitly during the primaries in 2016, for either party. If my belief, that the Late Show writers' intentions are not malicious, means that I'm "hiding under a rock," then so be it.

Her star is rising, and in this interview you have just a small sample of the reason why. For some of us this is no surprise whatsoever, and for others who are just now catching on - watch her July 30th on the debate stage in Detroit.
