One of many things that he’s said that are just simply NOT conservative.
He’s a phony and a crazy person. Like the Pope, every time he opens his mouth, I cringe.
Trump has already said that by “mandate” he meant that insurance companies couldn’t deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Not to worry. The New York Times will straighten him out if he strays too far from the path of righteousness.
Trump needs to die on the vine, unless he can run as the ‘Rat Candidate.
The Times knows that the border is the only issue that matters. So do Trump’s supporters. Lose it (even more) and EVERYTHING else is lost. They want it lost. I do not care at all about any other position Trump takes. He might actually do it; none of the others will. Control the border, or the rest is gone anyway, to the extent it isn’t already. Edmund Burke doesn’t sell well south of the border.
This isn’t news. Trump has always been to the left of Hillary and Sanders on healthcare.
He didn’t shock anyone who knew what he meant when he used the term “mandate”, in the context of hospitals being mandated to care for people regardless of ability to pay. Trump has said he will repeal Obamacare and replace it with a new healthcare program that allows selling across state lines, negotiating “favored nation” prices for drugs, reducing premium costs, and more. He spends 15 minutes in each rally talking about this topic, including quotes from his doctor friend who now has more accountants working for him under Obamacare than nurses.
The Trumpster is singing off key here.
However, I have noticed that nobody has been talking about the more traditional role of charities in a picture like this. For the collective Christian church to forget this is not a little matter, it is a major gaffe. It’s one of the ways God gave to do gospel outreach.
Cruz could, in principle, say something — but his mind is probably a million miles away, on how a veneer of Christian values can be implemented by Caesar. Is Trump going to do it? He is more of a free thinker than Cruz, but he only has considered a very limited palette of options, that which has been presented to him.
Like Obama, Trump conflates care with coverage
Why would Trump saying I “like the mandate” shock anybody??? He’s never been a conservative for 60 years. For his whole life, he has been a part of and comfortable with the highly secular north east mentality, with its acceptance of the role of big government. He probably had no problem with Bloomberg’s banning of Big Gulps either.
Nobody is shocked.
I appreciate the New York Times being so concerned for Trump.
From what I can tell, Trump’s “triage” amounted to a tweet to point out to people that he was referring to the pre-existing conditions coverage (which is what Anderson Cooper asked about), and pointed out that he’s been for repealing Obamacare since forever.
I have a question. Since the GOPe, including Ted Cruz, have taken over Congress, what have they done to repeal Obamacare?
Nothing. They just all yell about Donald Trump at this point.
GO TRUMP! Bring the jobs back and shut all these Washington idiots up.
New tagline....
Haha, the GOP Elite Congress is NOT CONSERVATIVE.
Trump is way to the right of these Class A Amnesty loving A Holes in Washington DC.
And by the way, the Washington GOP funded Obamacare and Planned Parenthood!
Where have all these “Shocked Conservatives” been for the past quarter century? Besides being on the payroll.
A bit off topic. On March 6 2011 Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio joined to assist Rand Paul in his 13 hour filibuster challenging Obama’s power to use drone to kill American citizens without trial. It was IMO the Tea Party’s finest our. On the same day, Donald Trump sent eleven has beens and never wases out to sell pizza on The Apprentice. Why are we even talking about Trump as POTUS? Who will be next ? Kim Kardashian? I’m sure we could find some potential supporters. Flame away!!!
