Trump mistakes Sanders’ Positions For His Own
The Hill ^ | 2/17/2016 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 02/17/2016 8:46:33 PM PST by agrarianlady

"That candidate is considered a political outsider by all of the pundits," [Mika] said. "He's tapping into the anger of voters, delivers a populist message. "He believes everyone in the country should have healthcare [and] he advocates for hedge fund managers to pay higher taxes," Brzezinski added. "He is drawing thousands of people at his rallies and bringing in a lot of new voters into the political process. Who am I describing?"

"You're describing Donald Trump," the outspoken billionaire responded.

"Actually, I was describing Bernie Sanders," Brzezinski countered.

It would almost be worth it for Bernie to be President so these young idiots can experience the “joys” of socialism up close and personal. In four years we’d have the “Mother of All Conservative Revolutions.”

Cruz would be an accurate answer to the question also...except of course for the part about rallies drawing thousands of people.

How can you say that? THere are differences.

It's obvious that the Bern (when he gets worked up) is a pink color, and The Donald is often more a shade of light-orange.

>>>Not a dimes worth of difference<<<

Except for Bernie wanting: a 90% Tax Rate, to take away your Guns, Single Payer Healthcare versus Free Market Healthcare with a Safety Net, continue the degradation of our Military, not eliminating waste and fraud in Government, allow the UN to run our lives, getting rid of Common Core, reducing Regulations, downsizing The Department of Education, the EPA and any other Federal Bureaucracy that is a useless waste of money, not securing the Southern Border with a real Wall and every other DemocncRat Socialist scheme.

Yeah, two Peas in a Pod. /s

Buy a clue and read my Tagline,
Sincerely, a Cruz first, Trump second Supporter.

I would rather have the Mother of all Conservative Revolutions by this November.

I am too exhausted to wait another four years.

I’m afraid this country is going to have to stare straight into the abyss before that happens.

Things are bad now, but as Reagan once said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

“Trump is on the record, repeatedly, for private free market solutions.”

True. However, Trump is also on the record for saying he’ll make deals with the hospitals, and that the government (tax payers) is going to pay for the 25% who can’t afford to pay for their own healthcare because we can’t have folks dying in the streets.

not. Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.

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

Donald Trump: They’re going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably—

Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?

Donald Trump: —the government’s gonna pay for it. But we’re going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it’s going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.

Trump (believing he was being described): He believes everyone in the country should have healthcare

You: Imagine, everyone having to pay their own way for health care

Going by his own statements, Trump does believe everyone in the country should have healthcare, but he does not believe everyone should pay their own way. He believes at least 25% aren’t able to do so and will require taxpayer assistance.

That's sick....You know if those dancers were hound dogs all jittery, bumping and grinding around like that, they would get wormed.

GOD I am so glad YOU allowed me to be born when I was, I would hate to think that I would have to understand all this disgusting behavior.

It's pretty much what we've got now. Is anyone turned away from the ER even if they know they don't have the means to pay? Somebody is paying that bill.

“Gotcha question”
And there’s no telling what Mika was flashing to distract our libidinous hero.
Some Sharon Stone fancy legwork maneuver most likely flummoxed him.

Odd how he keeps finding himself parked in front of fast young women, isn’t it... I’m thinking maybe a ‘Charlie’s Angels’-type TV re-make: “Trump’s Strumpets”.

That video is 20 years old. Do yourself a favor and don’t watch any music videos more recent than that!

Ignoring the video, I thought the lyrics were on point. “Mr. Wrong” especially.

Nice try at changing the subject. The point of the post I responded to was that Trump supports single payer health care. Which is a flat out lie from the most despicable POS people in this country. Trump supports private free market solutions. And for the indigent, who show-up in the emergency room with life threatening illnesses, that by law must be treated. Trump’s position is that if the government forces you to treat someone that can’t pay, then it is on the government to pay the bill.

No surprise here. There is very little difference between the communist Bernie Sanders and the far left liberal Donald Trump. Only a deluded fool would vote for Donald Trump.

if you are too fricking stupid to even comprehend the basics of government mandated treatments to the indigent. I’m not going to waste my time trying to explain to you that you are going to pay for it one way or the other. Honestly, how the hell did you survive puberty?
