Bernie Sanders and his staff are leaning into his cranky Jewish elder persona after Tuesday night’s Democratic debate in Detroit, seizing on the senator’s pissed-off exclamation about the provenance of the Medicare for All bill to produce a new set of swag like stickers emblazoned with his words for the ages — “I wrote the damn bill!” — on stickers and T-shirts.
Sanders’ first words also struck the perfect note: “You’re wrong!” he said in response to Congressman John Delaney’s comment that “Medicare for All” is “political suicide.”
