With Rep. Paul Ryan set to deliver the Republican response to the State of the Union address tomorrow, Sen. Bernie Sanders intends to make the GOP put their money where their mouths are if they want to pretend they support his proposals in his Roadmap for America. Sen. Sanders told Lawrence O'Donnell that if Republicans don't bring Paul Ryan's Roadmap up for a vote, he'll do all he can to force a vote on it in the Senate.

Gotta' love Bernie. As he and O'Donnell discussed, if the Republicans actually have to take a vote on whether to dismantle Social Security and turn Medicare into a voucher system, they're going to bolt in droves. O'Donnell thought they'd be lucky to get more than one or two Senators to vote for it.
