President Soros can fill his cabinet with other highly successful richies who will finally lead us to the promised land...Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, Steven Spielberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mitt Romney, John Corzine, Oprah Winfrey and Ben & Jerry.

We should also take a moment to thank the $200 million dollar man John Kerry for using his financial genius to negotiate the Iran deal. If only Kerry was a billionaire, the deal would’ve been perfect.

Mr. Trump and consistency were separated at birth.

Who cares! Trump is the outsider that’s just like a Democrat politician!

1. Because that is the money shot and needs no further explanation.

2. The rest is him blathering on about people dying in the street.

At least he managed one understandable phrase. Normally you can't make sense out of his word salads.

Go to the link on post #10, watch the whole 2 1/2 minute rambling response and tell me about the context.

The gist of which is "I don't want people dying in the streets."

They are?

His rhetoric is worse than Obama's.

And his supporters still don't care.

No surprise there.

The guy has some serious salesman juju. I have to give him credit for that.

To hear what was actually said, replay this clip from 19:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag5VucakQq4?

Doesn't help.

CNN: "If Obamacare is repealed and there's no incentive for everyone to have insurance why would insurance companies provide insurance for people with pre-existing conditions?"

Trump: "Well, I like the mandate."

THE mandate.

Period.

End of story.

The context changes NOTHING.

2.5 minutes of Trump-talk, huh?
Before I listen, I’m guessing 7 “very”s and a “huge.”
Maybe one or two “You’ll like it, I promise”s.

Trump is just stating what he has said all along. Does anyone here remember the diagram of the way the yahoo’s in D.C. are implementing this debacle?...that will be gone and the fed will have a much lighter touch....as it is right now it is nothing but a circle jerk with a massive cost just to try and figure it out....when you get to choose your own insurance for what suits you rather than given a choice of a poor plan or a worse one as it stands now. I would imagine the catastrophic policies will return ...

No one is dying in the street what a joke. That Medicare type system has existed for half a century. Similarly named, even. Medicaid The single largest expense for states and a huge chunk of the federal budget.

I listened and I read the transcript.

Cooper was clearly asking him about the mandate for insurance companies to offer policies to those with pre-existing conditions. That’s why Trump then expounded on his belief that everyone should have coverage—not only those who have pre-existing conditions, but also those who are too poor to buy it themselves.

I watched the exchange. This is more of a question, I may be missing something. Cooper starts with the mandate, then ties in pre-existing conditions and if insurance companies would “go for that”.
1- are mandates and pre-existing conditions tied together in some way???
2- isn’t that just two questions mixed together??
These guys are good at their interview skills and tripping folks up.

I want freedom & personal responsibility; I don’t want mandated health insurance. Is there a candidate or a lobbying group I can support to advocate for my interests?

You do not understand the definition of mandate in Trumps statement. However, you may understand the definition of man date.

LOL! These pathetic obfuscations are so....pathetic.

Those that knee-jerk believe all this crap could be convinced to try a crap patty if someone told them that the proceeds went to stop Trump.....

the evil Ted Cruz

You know, I wouldn't mind voting for the evil Ted Cruz, but he has to get the nomination first.
And while him and Donald Trump beat eachother bloody, the guy the gope really wants-Rubio is laughing his ass off.
