What I'm saying is that he's asking the questions rhetorically like this only because it was already known to be impossible to get to single payer because of Lieberman.
If the facts on the ground were that it was actually possible to get single payer passed, I think those questions would have been easily answerable. It just wasn't tactically necessary to answer them in the context of what was achievable because of one horrendous (sorry Lieberman, but you really blew it) person.
The statement was clearly entirely political, of course.
