It’s crazy how much the media wants war… As a left-of-center guy, it’s appalling for Democrats to defend Mattis. If Trump says single-payer works fine in Canada (which he did in the first GOP debate), liberals (if there are any) should at least try to embrace it, instead of being anti-Trump regardless.
(Notice how both political parties seem to have done a 180 on trade in the last few years, but since the 90s in general).
