Just so the whole quote is here.....

From the weekly standard...

During the first GOP debate, moderator Bret Baier said to Donald Trump, "15 years ago, you called yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system."

"As far as single payer, it works in Canada," Trump replied. "It works incredibly well in Scotland. It could have worked in a different age, which is the age you're talking about here."

Trump didn't explain what might have changed in the last 15 years that would prevent the United States from adopting Canadian-style health care.

We’re PAST THE POINT of caring about the details of Trump’s policies as they can be debated to death as to what he means.

The stakes are now MUCH BIGGER than just who runs, it is about forcing the GOPe to finally ANSWER TO US.

“But obviously he can’t release those tax returns. How would it look? you do pretty well if you don’t pay taxes for 10 years when you’re making millions and millions of dollars.”-Harry Reid

“He can do it tomorrow. He doesn’t want to do it, because presumably here’s something in there”- Ted Cruz

WOW, didn’t hear anything all day yesterday because Cruz couldn’t find his mouth...so here we are today:

During the first GOP debate, moderator Bret Baier said to Donald Trump, “15 years ago, you called yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system.”

WOW, 15 years ago, lets see where you even out of diapers then Cruz?

What might have been a good idea (I don’t think it was) isn’t always a good idea years later.

Outside of that as someone posted already: It doesn’t matter. If the GOPe/UniParty is not destroyed we lose the country. Period.

This looks like a distorted take on Trump. Trump wanting the government to assure that all can have health care is not the same as Trump wanting the government to pay for everybody’s. A mix of public and private plans is, of course, implied here. I don’t know why the calumny.

Let me go on the record. Single payer would be better than RobertsCare. It is so bad that there is nowhere to go but up - and that is what I take Trump to mean. But I guess if you stuff your ears with Cruzwax you can’t hear anything but his own genius and how everyone else is wrong.

The uninsured person is going to be taken care of how?

How come noone asks Ted Cruz this question. I guess he’d let them die in the streets.

Recycled, hit piece. This crap was discussed months ago and was proven meaningless and is being brought backup because Cruz has nothing else.

Agreed Trump didn't explain it, but it's pretty easy to figure out. Not enough jobs to support the medical industry; the medical insurance industry has been skimming too much wealth (its greed will be its undoing). Costs went through the roof when people's wallets became detached from the medical decisions. EVERY test and procedure turned into a matter of entitlement.

Then there is the inevitable failure point when anything is centralized at that big of a scale. Quality of care goes down, corruption and unaccountability come in, etc. If "failure" is measured by reduction in standard of care, all efforts using government coercion and centralization will result in failure.

Does it really matter to Trump’s cult if Ted proved positively that Banana Don is a brazen liar? No. This liar will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Right.

It pains me to see Cruz, my former number 2 choice, reduced to glaringly desperate-looking outbursts with obscure stuff someone on his staff dug up from yesteryear; obviously assuming and praying THAT kind of stuff will change anyone’s mind.

And to watch him as he does it, with those pre-programmed, animatronic-looking hand gestures and body movements that look so artificial. That stuff makes his whole approach look artificial. Apparently, that’s what they teach in debate class, and in how to make a courtroom legal arguement.

To MY mind; not good.

If Trump likes it why doesn’t he go back to Scotland?

There would be no Obamacare if it wasn’t for Cruz putting his buddy Roberts on the Supreme Court. Cruz can not be trusted to select the next Supreme Court justice. The good news is, over the next few weeks, Cruz will win somewhere between 0 and 1 state in the primaries.
