“where he was a champion for universal healthcare, abortion, and taxes on the rich.”
This country has universal health care, by law, and has had universal health care, by law and Supreme Court mandate, for many decades. Who is against universal health care?
Here, in Louisiana, we had it long before Medicaid. They were called Charity Hospitals, one in each metropolitan area, probably about ten. They were non-profit tax supported hospitals. That is where people who could not afford their health care went. It saved their lives. That is what Trump has in mind when he says he would not allow people to die in the street.
Universal health care is a separate concept from obtaining health coverage in the free market, which is what Trump advocates.
He changed his conviction on abortion, just as Reagan did, and unlike Reagan, never used government to put it in force. And how many years do you demand is necessary for a person to be “cleansed” of his pro-abortion convictions. Long ago, I had an acquaintance who told me he changed his convictions in the same fashion Trump described.
Taxes on rich - Wall Street card sharps.
That's what you're going to get.
