The host kept saying Kucinich sounded defeated, and he tried his damnedest to get Kucinich to admit defeat but it didn't work. If anything, Kucinich probably felt exhausted because he was being interviewed by a someone intent on acting like a loudmouthed douchebag.
Kucinich specifically said in the interview that he wasn't threatened by constituents or the party. Kucinich said repeatedly in the interview that he voted for a flawed bill because he thought it might make more significant reform possible.

Think I just answered that. I've heard him as long as I can remember. I have followed him because in the 80's and early 90's when I thought about going into politics there were 2 men in Ohio I looked at that I saw conviction from and liked, Sherrod Brown and Dennis Kucinich. I even respected and liked the part of Dennis that stated he'd seen UFOs and was hanging with Shirley McClaine. I felt he was honest and ALWAYS stuck by what he believed.
So don't tell me I DON'T KNOW Dennis.... I DO and Triv (as much as I love Triv) had NOTHING to do with my opinion over Dennis.
