From the tenth debate Texas CNN transcript:

RUBIO: The individual mandate. He said he likes the individual mandate portion of it, which I don’t believe that should be part of it. That should not remain there. I think here’s what we need to replace it with.

We need to repeal Obamacare completely and replace it with a system that puts Americans in charge of their health care money again. If your employer wants to buy health insurance for you, they can continue to do so from any company in America they want to buy it from.

Otherwise, your employers can provide you health care money, tax- free, not treated as income, and you can use that money only for health care, but you can use it to fund health care any way you want, fully fund a health savings account, the combination of a health savings account or a private plan from any company in any state in the country.

And if you don’t have that, then you will have a refundable tax credit that provides you health care money to buy your own health care coverage. And that, I think, is a much better approach than Obamacare, which, by the way, isn’t just bad for health care, it’s bad for our economy. It is a health care law that is basically forcing companies to lay people off, cut people’s hours, move people to part-time. It is not just a bad health care law, it is a job-killing law. And I will repeal it as president and we will replace it with something substantially better for all Americans.

(APPLAUSE)

BASH: Mr. Trump, Senator Rubio just said that you support the individual mandate. Would you respond?

TRUMP: I just want to say, I agree with that 100 percent, except pre-existing conditions, I would absolutely get rid of Obamacare. We’re going to have something much better, but pre-existing conditions, when I’m referring to that, and I was referring to that very strongly on the show with Anderson Cooper, I want to keep pre-existing conditions.

I think we need it. I think it’s a modern age. And I think we have to have it.

The betrayers at the RNC are also threatening to go third party.

I don't understand your post.

Accuse Trump of much, but failing to be shocking is not among those things!

“It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.”

Anybody could have said it.

The Mussolini quote was: "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep."

The context is that this was one of a number of slogans that Mussolini used to push populist support for a strongman government.

That is not what an American leader should be harkening back to.

I would have to believe that most people on this thread have used, and in some cases tweeted, words that an evil person stated.

Kaslin, would you agree?

Does anyone think why he says these things? 90% is Trump believes that any head line is good if it keeps your opponents off the front page. The last 10% is because he thinks he’s entitled. Winners win, and there are no better winners than that winner Donald Trump and anyone who doesn’t say so is being unfair to poor Donald Trump!
What a petulant child. I really can’t believe this scum bag democrat is going to be the nominee of the republican party. If it happens the party will have left me, so be it!

Maybe anybody could have said it, but in fact it was said by Mussolini, as one of his slogans generating support for authoritarianism in government.

Why can't we have a quote from Washington or Jefferson or Madison? Something on the side of freedom would be nice.

I fear, truly fear a large segment of the Freeper community having a big case of buyers remorse between now and the convention. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong, and it wouldn’t be the first time. I just hope that between now and the time we can’t do anything about it, that my good friends in Freeper land will sit down, take a breath, and really think about the candidate you wish to support. You notice that I’m not advising you to vote for my favorite, but simply that you step back from the Rah Rah ,and really think who would be best to serve the nation for the next 4 years.

<< It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep. >>

this reminds me of Satan in Milton's Paradise Lost:
<< Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven. >>

Khan quoted Milton in Star Trek II... Fit his personalitie with perfection -- a lion seeking world domination.

I am not looking for a Napoleon or a Khan for President of the United States of America.

As a funny aside you do know that Mussolini never actually did get the trains run on time.

Their running on pure emotion. Their not coming to their senses. Think Jim Jones.

I have a framed print of Emiliano Zapata with his famous quote in Spanish-”Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas.”-It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees-it is one of my favorites-does that make me a revolutionary the government called a bandit, like Zapata? Quotes are words-it doesn’t mean you are in total agreement with that person’s ideology-just that they said something you like/can relate to...
