      Yesterday, @BernieSanders declared in a campaign address that “democratic socialism is the only way.” I have great respect for @BernieSanders. He has provided great clarity and urgency around the major issues facing working families. But I fundamentally disagree.

      Democratic socialism is not only a poor electoral strategy – it’s a bad governing model. While gov't plays a vital role in tackling big challenges, it is rarely successful alone. It is when we team up – gov’t, nonprofits and the private sector – that we see the greatest success.

      I used that collaborative approach in Colorado, and, today, our state has: ✔️ Near universal healthcare ✔️ The #1 economy in the country, 3 years in a row ✔️ Tough methane regulations ✔️ Universal background checks and magazine limits ✔️ Reliable broadband in all 64 counties

      We also partnered with a private foundation to make long-acting reversible contraception (“LARC”) affordable to ALL women in CO, starting at age 15. The program: ✔️reduced teen pregnancy rate by 54% ✔️reduced teen abortion rate by 64% ✔️saved taxpayers $70 million over 5 years

          We went to the state legislature to get permanent funding to support the program. Some Republicans refused. CO foundations helped fund it that year, and we continued our dialogue with Republicans. The next year, the program’s funding passed with bipartisan support.

          You were a great mayor and governor. I voted for you every time. I wish you would consider taking out Cory Gardner and helping DEMs take over the senate. The math is terrible once again and your easy win over Cory would go a long way.

          I’m with you on a lot of this, governor. The mistake that you are making is that @SenSanders actually wants to solve these issues. If these issues are not perpetuated and made worse, he has no issues

          The only way to defeat @realDonaldTrump and to achieve big progressive goals is to embrace the collaborative, entrepreneurial spirit that gave birth to this country – that gave birth to modern democracy.

          When I am President, we will make affordable healthcare a right, not a privilege. We will save our planet from climate change. We will make college more affordable and help the 65% who won’t get a 4-year degree. And we will work with industry and nonprofits to get there.

          You rely too much on the kindness of strangers...when in fact it's we the people who can pool our resources, with fair taxation instead of capricious charity from the rich, and take care of ourselves. It works with Medicare and it will work with #MedicareForAll
