Ok. I see two things here. I see he says Bush and the Republicans did things that are not good, not smart. That is a separate statement from “I identify with some things as a Democrat”...and he doesn’t think the Dems would have done that.
So. I certainly agree with the first part of his statement. HOWEVER, he not only does NOT hold the Dems equally or even partially responsible, he oddly says he doesnt think they would have done that. He is possibily unaware of the shared responsibility the Dems have??
I guess before I could support Trump I’d like to know in what ways, in what areas does he identify with because these statements do not help clarify issues or character or principles.
I don’t think the Democrats would have done that,” Trump said. “Now, I see it both ways,” etc.
So he does not see the democrats as not as responsible republicans - he sees it “both ways”.
With the repeal of the ACA he’s said he would have a government single payer HC for people under a certain threshold. That is considered to be a democrat ideal. (We are paying for them anyway.) We will see the details about repealing/replacing the ACA in a position paper.
