Those of you who think President Trump is going to take a position that the federal government has no role in healthcare - meaning that Medicare is unconstitutional - raise your hands.....
I’ll totally admit that RINOcare is a disaster in the making.
But it strikes me as incredibly weird to suddenly be holding President Trump to some kind of Constitutional Conservative Lithmus Test AFTER the election.
He’s a populist. The only way you will get him to support total repeal is to convince him that total repeal is popular. And it’s not. At least not in total.
People like the rules on pre-existing conditions, lifetime caps, and leaving children on policies until age 26. I could be wrong, but I also think that Medicaid expansion is reasonably popular as long as it is called Medicaid expansion and not Obamacare.
But he understands that something (many things) is (are) wrong with the direction our country has been taking. To use Michael Savage's words: something is wrong with (undermining) our borders, language and culture. To the extent President Trump is able to right the national direction in these three areas, I will excuse him if he doesn't entirely destroy the socialist monster in Washington.

Fortunately, I think President Trump cares more about what is popular among taxpayers than the public at large.
