I've seen him say this, and I think it has nothing to do with what you're thinking, not one bit.

You can rant and be angry all you want, but I'm fairly certain Trump knows no one is denied health care in the US.

What he's done is kind of brilliant, even if your apparently blind hatred of him prevents you from seeing it.

He's taken the Republicans just want to throw grannie off the cliff BS that will be used in the general.

Go ahead, rant on, just make sure you take something to calm yourself down. Soon.

"What makes you think Trump is a strong, principled person? Politically he has always been a changeling."

A changeling just like you. From your home page:

"Native Texan and Catholic, former liberal Democrat..."

"Voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976..."

Trump was asked a question last night about what would happen if the Obamacare mandate was repealed. The first words out of Trump’s mouth were “well, I like the mandate.” That is not a mischaracterization that is word for word what Trump said last night.

Please go to the link and watch the video. I repeat he said this last night so you can’t tell me this is ancient history. Last night Trump supported the Obamacare mandate that everyone has to buy insurance. http://hotair.com/archives/2016/02/19/trump-on-obamacare-i-like-the-mandate/

Hate on, make brilliant points (NOT!) and continue to make enemies.

That will help you a lot. And your candidate.

I promise......

Nope, my reasons are solid.

Let’s think about this. Illegal Immigration and securing the border were not a primary talking point in the election until Trump made it so. Cruz was running as a candidate for well over a month by the time Trump made an entrance. I don’t recall Cruz pushing the issue to the forefront. In fact Cruz’s policies called for a 500% increase in H-1B visas, and didn’t call for a wall. But that changed. Where was Cruz pushing to counter the bad trade deals the US was in? Oh wait, he wasn’t he voted for the TPA Cloture and changed his vote against TPA after it was too late to stop it. And where was Cruz stopping the Iran Deal? He didn’t, he voted for the Corker Bill that gave us the Iran Deal. Cruz isn’t a statesman, he is a career politician that has set his goals in life to be nothing but a career politician.

I have two reason. Illegal Immigration and Not A POLITICIAN.

I have a third, which happens to be my number one. Trump is unaffected by political correctness, which I maintain is the greatest threat to our culture. Neuter the PC crowd and all other problems can be openly debated and solved.

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


Building the wall and pumping the breaks on unfair trade are totally realistic. OTOH, Cruz’s buffet of primary season red meat like defunding PP are the real whopping fairy tales. Sad to see so many good conservatives getting used again by a climbing career politician like Ted Cruz.

Then you haven't been listening to him, you're just interested in pretending what you think he said is what he's saying.

Good luck, hate on.

“Trump is drawing zero obstruction.”

From you cruzy keyboard commandos, true.

ummm... perhaps because you’re gullible enough to take recent words of an narcissist, with a motivation of gain, over numerous prior words and actions, and therefore lack a basic understanding of human nature? Gamble away.

So, you want a hidden proxy-president doing what he wishes, regardless of what the constitution permits, enacting Amnesty, single payer healthcare, and gun control?

That is exactly what Trump has promised.

You’ll never even know who really is running the country.

Trump understands politics; that is what the essence of his “business” has always been.

What he doesn’t understand is statesmanship.

Lucky us!

I don’t understand your response. Trump plainly said last night that he supported the Obamacare Mandate. He said this live on national TV and you refuse to believe it.

I agree, Anti-PC is definitely a plus, and is another reason I support him.

That is why the business as usual system submissives fear him to the point of hysteria.

He gives not a damn about PC. That is one of the traits he shares with Reagan.

Building the wall and pumping the breaks on unfair trade are totally realistic.

Are they really? Including the part about Mexico paying for it and foreign leaders trembling at Trump's commands? So what about Terifficcare? How does he do that?

OTOH, Cruz's buffet of primary season red meat like defunding PP are the real whopping fairy tales

At least Cruz has been consistent on that. Trump has been for funding...then defunding...then partly funding...now he's back to defunding again.

Sad to see so many good conservatives getting used again by a climbing career politician like Ted Cruz.

Sad to see so many self-identified conservatives flocking to a moderate like Trump. Romney taught you nothing?

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.

Possible, but sometimes it’s just as likely we don’t know what we think we know.

Leave you with this, (nothing personally implied) “People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs..... yet they think it’s all true. “People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”

Well sir, I watched his interview with Joe/Mika two nights ago, and his Hannity interview last night.

He clearly said TWICE (that's two for those in Rio Linda) that bamster care would be repealed. It would be replaced with an HSA based free market based system.

He also said we had to figure out how to make certain no one falls through the cracks, and whatever that method is, it would cost a tiny fraction of the foolishness of bamster care.

Go ahead, keep saying you know what he meant.

Problem is you don't, and you just want to pretend you do. I know what he's been saying, what he claims his context is.

You only want to spread disinformation, something you can only hope will bring Cruz back from the dead.

Btw, have you seen the latest polls that see Cruz is now in third? Maybe you can even get more angry and sow more disinformation now.......

Your reasons are vaporware.

Had you thought about anything your post never would have made it to your keyboard.

You never paid any attention to what was going on, or you would have instantly realized that Trump’s “positions” were copied from Cruz’ extensive positions, and that he has no belief in any of them; only a desire to help his NWO friends by blocking a conservative victory.

Dreams are not logic sir.

There is more than one Mandate within Obamacare. The mandate referenced is the one for pre-existing conditions, which was stated in the question. I don’t see a problem with the pre-existing conditions mandate. There are still things that need to be adjusted within healthcare, specifically lawsuits. That would help lower medical costs making it easier to cover pre-existing conditions.
