In a season when politicians line up to prove how much they \u201ccare about the children,\u201d<\/p>\n
the Mikaela Naylon Give Kids a Chance Act should have been the easiest yes of the year.<\/p>\n
It promised more research, more access, more time for kids whose parents are clinging to<\/p>\n
every medical breakthrough like a lifeline.<\/p>\n
The House didn\u2019t even bother with a roll call; support was that overwhelming.<\/p>\n
Yet when it reached the Senate floor, Bernie Sanders,<\/p>\n
the man who built his brand on moral outrage over healthcare,<\/p>\n
became the lone roadblock.<\/p>\n
His objection wasn\u2019t about the children in hospital beds tonight.<\/p>\n
It was about leverage, about Obamacare, about the bigger ideological war he refuses to stop fighting,<\/p>\n
no matter who gets caught in the crossfire.<\/p>\n
Senator Mullin\u2019s fury captured what millions felt watching:<\/p>\n
this wasn\u2019t a policy disagreement, it was a moral exposure.<\/p>\n
You can\u2019t campaign on compassion and then gamble with dying kids\u2019 hope.<\/p>\n
Not and expect the country to forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
