Trump previously came out in favor of universal coverage prior to the 2016 campaign. And I think his tendencies lie in that direction.

This is one of the fissure-points in the GOP coalition. There is the pro-working class/populist group - of which MTG is one example -- versus the traditional small/limited government wing of the GOP.

What is this "GOP coalition" of which you speak??

Perhaps you mean the GOP circular firing squad?

Yep. I remember back before Trump was first elected, a reasonable liberal friend of mine was supportive of me, and told me, "Trump is in favor of single payer healthcare."

That would be a bold move. It would be like Nixon opening China.
