Bernie Sanders and his staff are doing heroic work on fighting Trumpcare.

[geek tragedy]

This has flown under the radar, but Bernie is the ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee. That means it's he and his staffers arguing before the Senate Parliamentarian over which provisions of Trumpcare should be ruled ineligible for reconciliation rules. It's an unglamorous, detail-oriented grind involving charts, analysis and number-crunching.

The vote tonight on Trumpcare faced a 60 vote hurdle because Bernie and his team successfully argued for many of its provisions to require 60 votes instead of 51.

Bernie is acting very much like a team player, and a leader, and is doing it away from the cameras and isn't hogging any credit or the spotlight.

Thank you, Bernie!
