Any honest agenda for improving healthcare must start with repeal of the dishonestly named Affordable Care Act of 2010: Obamacare.
But what matter? The platform is not like a statement of principles or something.

I don’t think we quite understand each other.
My argument is that Trump’s goal—repealing Obamacare—was being played out in the process. Also, the reason that he acted as he did could be explained by game theory, specifically by tough but fair.
We only saw a single iteration of the ‘game’ that was being played, and we are in the middle of round 2 right now. It will take dozens if not hundreds of iterations before we reach the final product.
We may not like it, but it IS consistent with TBF.
Trump has been very, very good on nearly every other point, especially when he doesn’t have to deal with Congress. I find it hard to believe that he would so easily break a promise. But when you add Congress to the mix, Trump himself cannot move alone, and neither can the HFC. They HAVE to play the game, and it is a game that cannot be won in a single round.
