You are betting all on a crap shoot. Trump's record, his history, his past, all reveal a pro single-payer health plan kinda guy, a guy who really believes that government needs to get involved in a big way (as opposed to Cruz, who believes that government is the problem). Trump is the kind of guy who not very long ago helped to a tune of $25,000 to put sleazy Clinton toadie Terry McAuliffe into the Governor's Mansion in Virginia. Trump was on McAuliffe's side.
And you're gung-ho about voting for the guy.
Listen, I hope you're right ... but I felt exactly the same faith and high hope once in Arnold Schwarzenegger, for about the same reasons. The crow I ate on that one was pretty lousy.
You don’t understand Trump.
15 years ago when his businesses were facing escalating healthcare costs and he was talking to other major employer in NYC who were making similar complaints, he was lured into thinking Scotland’s healthcare system was an example of what worked right only it didn’t and Donald didn’t know the full story until later.
To understand Donald is to understand that he first expresses his first impression and then as he investigates the details or is properly and more completely briefed and brought up to date, he backtracks and then dispatches managers to come up with a solution.
I look at people criticizing Donald Trump for his short incomplete views of decades ago as criticizing Babe Ruth for swinging and missing only to swat the ball over the homerun fence later.
So try and give Donald a little time to get it right and he will. He’s already demonstrated that ample times on the campaign trail.
I like it that he’s direct and oblivious to PC. I do get concerned when he sometimes gets it wrong but am always patient to wait and see he gets it right. And he’s never failed.
He will be a great President.
