A little honor here? Trump is on record many times as immediately removing Obamacare upon assuming the Presidency. The tired argument of he wants Universal Healthcare is disingenuous because the Universal was clearly defined by Trump as a second system for those unable to afford care any other way ie Medicaid. The vast majority of Americans in Trumps view would have market based insurance and HSAs.
PS Cruz lost about 1/2 of those cases which is average for a lawyer arguing before the Supremes.

The Uniparty, the fading radio cheapjacks, the fading print media cheapjacks, “artists”, the usurper pope, some effiminate Saudi Prince, UK Moslems...

No other candidate is drawing this kind of obstruction and resentment. To claim otherwise is laughable. System submissives won’t fight for a damn thing.

1 comment in and the condescending Cruzers comment. Of course we all know that the only people who could possibly be conservative are the people that support Ted, the most conservative person ever in the history of the republic. Infallible Ted who’s never had a non conservative position short of amnesty, TPA, Corker bill...At this point, if for some unforeseen reason Trump doesn’t get the nomination, Rubio is my number #2. It used to be Ted, but Milhous Cruz is so detestable Rubio is now preferable.

Trump is drawing zero obstruction.

The MSM has become his advertising agency, and his copy writer.

They want him because they can totally control him with child psychology.

One reason the uniparty press pays so much attention to Trump is to take the spotlight away from Cruz. But of course Trump is at heart a ham actor who knows how to upstage others.
==
Close, but here are the real reasons. Ratings and money, And because they like being able to pic our candidate. Trump has trounced them. Their getting desperate now, press hitting Trump hard in the last 48hrs, bashing Trump with this Pope nonsense, while spotlighting their real choice, open border Rubio.

Y'all amaze me with the intent to mischaracterize.

Trump apparently likes a mandate to make sure no one is denied health care. That's a significant difference than liking the entire bamstercare law.

Trump has made it clear that he wants to use HSA accounts, and the free market once bamstercare is repealed. He also says over and over again he wants to figure out a way to make certain that the most vulnerable get cared for. That's the mandate he's talking about.

But y'all aren't interested in the truth, you're just interested in trying to destroy another candidate to bring your own to the front. I presume that would be Cruz for you.

How did I know that?

Ted is “detestable” just because you deem him detestable?

Once in office, I have full confidence, Mr. Trump would glassify ISIS into oblivion, take the oil they've stolen and give it to the families who have been destroyed by these psychotics. He would overturn and replace Obamacare in record time, build an impenetrable wall in record time to keep out the swarms of illegals who, again, Mr. Obama seems fatally attracted to. He would get rid of a half-dozen or more bloated government departments, reduce the tax code to less than 25 pages, and overturn all the Executive Orders Mr. Obama has inflicted on the nation in his eagerness to bypass the U.S. Congress and spit on the U.S. Constitution. Most important, Mr. Trump would immediately build up our military and promptly reverse the preposterous, Obama-dictated Rules of Engagement (i.e., don't shoot unless the other guy shoots first).

I have another suggestion: a minimum two-year moratorium on the DDT ban, so we can control the malaria mosquito, the Zika mosquito, and the growing bedbug epidemic. A common-sense president would prioritize human life and comfort over Rachel Carson's ancient drivel.

Because I’ve never heard a real conservative call themselves “rock ribbed.”

other people might describe me “rock ribbed,” or some leftist relatives of mine might even consider me an “extremist” conservative.

I consider myself well-reasoned, rational and mainstream

Such comments like “I am a die hard conservative!” are simply slogans used as teasers to then try and convince you some asinine idea should be acceptable to conservatives.

Amaze yourself!

By law healthcare cannot be denied.

This has been so for 30 years.

There is only one mandate, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the denial of anything.

Would like to craft another “concern?”

Any article or commentary that starts with I'm a rock-ribbed conservative or I'm a die-hard conservative should immediately go in the trash.

U didn't read it?

He hasn’t the faintest clue what a president should do, or how a real president would do it.

I agree, but that doesn't mean he can't learn and surround himself with people who can transition him...

If Obama can do it anybody can do it...

One of my main Trump concerns is I don't think he understands in his core being POTUS is a political position...and needs to think like a politician verses a businessman...

Politics at the end of the day is more about compromise to get what you want than cutting DEALS, even ones that you have to hold your nose to sign off on.....since we have divided powers in government...

As an example: Trump looks at himself as a BRAND name rather than a person, that's why he gets so riled up and threatens to sue when the other candidates make claims about him or his policies, he should response with a policy position to refute their claims...rather he threatens to sue...

He acts like a businessman protecting his brand or company rather than a politician....

As for me, I'm as conservative as it gets, but Conservatives have failed me and our country.

So your solution is fairy tales about Mexico-funded walls, Terifficcare, and millions of manufacturing jobs flooding our shores?
