Dear God.

Three tweets attacking your sacred cows because they negotiated dishonestly, and you snowflakes are all up in open rebellion.

No wonder we haven’t had a conservative President in 30 years and had to recruit a New York populist; all the real conservatives retired because their backs couldn’t hold any more shivs from their own so-called supporters!

Too bad Trump’s negotiations were behind closed doors.

‘Three tweets attacking your sacred cows because they negotiated dishonestly ...’

We know that Paul Ryan was dishonest about this bill. And secretive. He tried to blitz us.

And now Trump is siding with the liar against a numbero f people who say they were being honest.

I'll be an apologist for president Trump - here it goes...

I'm wondering if president Trump is experiencing what many of us have occur in our daily like. I have many friends who disagree with me politically as well as other things. They are my friends, well, probably because they would show up to help me move, a good friend, move a body. Anyhow, there are folks I agree with politically that I don't like personally.

We all know president Trump is not an ideological conservative he is more of a proportionalist which can look like a progressive or pragmatist at times. The difference is that they have an end goal - achieving balance and stability in a lean efficacious working system. When they get there they are going to stop.

I think there are several instructive moments during the campaigns and a repeated theme in his rallies. I will try to connect them together.

Do you remember in one of the debates where Ted Cruz was going on the usual conservative line of free trade, macroeconomic state disengagement of tampering with economic activity and that it will make the economy recover - Mr. Trump jumped in and said something to the effect of Ted that approach will take to long - we are getting screwed lets make it known the screwing will stop, we can do that by apply some mechanisms previously heretical in conservative republican dialogue, individual trade deals, dump bad deals, etc ... doing that can make jobs happen here real fast. I'm paraphrasing of course but that was the gist of it
"Repeal Obamacare and replace it with something tremendous". President Trump has said for decades if we want to be a country that has these programs to help the poor we have to be a wealthy nation in order to afford said programs. President Trump doesn't necessary see government as inherently bad like I do. He sees it as very corrupt right now. I think he has a very broad spectrum of reform that he will accept on healthcare because ultimately he believes we can afford it if we deal with immigration and don't let ourselves get hosed in trade deals or sucked into multi-trillion dollar wars. If we didn't have so much waste, spend like drunken sailors on non working programs, promote a business friendly climate, not be a dumping ground for South America's poor - we could afford to make sure everyone has healthcare thats "terrific"
Paid family medical leave - He wants that - do you remember in 1994 when Clinton got unpaid leave passed - OMG we were pissed and it was going to destroy the country and American business - this didn't happen at all. I believe president Trump see things like Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) absorbing over 1 trillion dollhairs a year and looks at the cost of paid family medical leave and does some math and sees the leave costing much less than SOX
If our schools, inner cities, hospitals, food banks and other community services that reach out to poor, sick, hungrey were not so burdened by all the illegal and probably to much immigration we could make sure all Americans are getting the care they need and aren't on the street.
