If there is any issue on which members of the GOP are united it is Obamacare. Gallup recently found that 86% of Republicans disapprove of the law. Yet Donald Trump has just won two GOP primaries despite his support of its worst provisions. Before the South Carolina contest, for example, he announced that he favors its universally reviled individual mandate. In New Hampshire, he studiously avoided denouncing the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Trump claims he will repeal the law but said yesterday that opposition to national health care was part of the problem with Republicans. So, how can he be winning GOP primaries?
Perhaps it is because non-Republicans are allowed to choose GOP presidential candidates? New Hampshire and South Carolina hold open primaries in which undeclared voters and independents participate. Of the 100,406 primary votes Trump received in New Hampshire, more than 38,000 came from undeclared voters. Of the approximately 211,000 votes that Trump received in South Carolina about 47,000 came from alleged independents. It is no coincidence that the only state nomination process that Donald Trump has thus far lost involved the Republican Iowa caucuses, in which only actual Republicans are permitted to participate.

“Repeal Obamacare” = “Obamacare Booster” in TDS world.
(Who cares? He’s going to build a wall and stop this invasion.)
He has said over and over he will end Obamacare as one of his first actions as president.
The anti-Trumpers lie. I guess they get that habit from one of the other candidates.
This is starting to remind me of a late-night radio commercial that was trying to get people to buy heating oil futures. It was early autumn and the narrator had some ‘inside information’ that no one else knew. He knew that heating oil demand was going to increase BIG TIME because cold weather was coming and that would force people to buy heating oil much faster than they had been the past few months. Therefore, if you bought now, the price could only go up.
My point being that, by now, we know that Trump will not be the second coming of Reagan when it comes to being a conservative, and we’ve accounted for it. But at this time, it’s more important to CLEAN UP the Republican Party and seal the border, because if that’s not done, then nothing else matters.
If anything, crap like this just makes us double down on Trump.
Did he say just last Thursday he likes the mandate?
It’s too late for all of the GOPe and for Cruz too. They’ve all run out of time. Nevada is just a day away. In 2 weeks comes Super Tuesday in the South, followed quickly by Florida and Ohio. No one can compete intensively in 12 states at one time, because there is no time left. So, Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, Carson, none of them have any time left. Trump is going to be the winner. Period. The clock has run out for all of the others. Game’s over folks.
He likes every single thing about Obamacare, except apparently the name. His “repeal” will consist of renaming it Trumpcare.
actually, the congress will repeal Obamacare again and trump will sign with no problems
Sure enough, there yawl are hollering LIAR LIAR with all of your heads in the sand.
Good luck with it because yawl are buying the farm with all of the hog wallows.
Trump likes the individual mandate
Trump likes Medicaid expansion
Trump likes government subsidies for some people to buy insurance.

Conflation fits you very well.
In 2 weeks comes Super Tuesday in the South,
/////////////////
Super Tuesday is eight days away not two weeks.
It is one week from tomorrow, Feb 1..
When Mitt Romney said he’d repeal Obamacare, most conservatives didn’t believe him, because he’d shown support for the mandate and a similar plan in Massachusetts. When Trump says he’d repeal Obamacare, but that he’d “cover everybody” and that he likes the mandate, and that part of the problem with Republicans is their opposition to healthcare, we’re supposed to believe him?

“Super Tuesday is eight days away not two weeks.

Right you are, lol. I can’t count. Better yet, the Trump opposition only has a week to work in. They are toast. All of them.
He said: private insurance. End the state line barrier. Free market solutions. He says it over and over again. But you evidently do not want to hear that.
BTW, 72% of FReepers are now typing:
Vote Trump
On the daily FR caucus.
It is one week from tomorrow, Feb 1..â€

Well I screwed up also. It’s Mar. 1 not Feb. 1.
But it is fast approaching even if we can’t get the date correct. Take care.
