    He has a huge platform due to comedy--& he has an emotional story. Is this how public policy should be decided?https://twitter.com/sopandeb/status/910885466060320768 …

    Amount of people that say Jimmy Kimmel should stay in his lane - not on the merits of his argument - but because he's a comic is interesting

        Because slinking behind closed doors, voting before CBO score, and holding no debate is a much better way to decide policy?

        One more thought: if Cassidy gets to go on Jimmy Kimmel to propose a "Jimmy Kimmel test" then Jimmy Kimmel certainly gets to weigh in later.

        How is that different from politicians name-checking specific afflicted or inspiring constituents during major policy speeches?

        Honestly I'd listen to him over our President. At least Kimmel offers backup to his story. Whether one agrees or not, it starts a dialogue.

        Stories that make abstract legislation relatable to actual human experiences strike me as a good way to understand and decide policy.

        Sure, at least it is better than Rep's trying to decide policy behind closed doors among just themselves. Resistance comes from all sources

        Matt, why does Kimmel's job and income make him less of a voice on important issues that matter to all?

        I don't mind Kimmel using his platform as he sees fit. I'm more worried about Conservatives who caution against responding back.
