LIVE coverage of the #StandWithTrumpAZ event! GOP Presidential hopeful Donald Trump will give a speech on illegal immigration among other topics at The Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Due to high ticket demand, Trump was forced to move the event from The Biltmore Resort. We will have live coverage inside and outside of the venue.
You’ll have over a year to watch him. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him validate your comments. I do think he loves the nation.
We’ll see how it plays out.
Yup.
No, Trump wants to replace OBotcare with free and private enterprise.
He wants to remove the state lines that confines healthcare that is only sold inside their respective states. Specifically, after he gets Obamacare repealed, he wants to repeal the Mccarran-Ferguson Act from 1945 where individual states regulate healthcare within their own boundaries. For example, It means that people in Maine can buy their heath insurance from the companies located in California or Michigan or any other state. Competition between companies keeps prices low is what Trump wants to happen.
“I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record.”

I’ll stop for the night. Time for bed.
Laying out Trump’s contradictory positions over the years is like shooting fish in a barrel anyway.
We agree... adding to my post #863 to you.
Well I’ll tell you, some of us out here are scared to death.
I am 100% disabled. Kept working 9 years after diagnosis, finally had to give up and apply for disability. Been waiting over 3 years because of a logjam of cases caused by dirty lawyer, and judge.
Wife works to keep insurance, and it has doubled since Obamacare. Next year they’re saying it will be $900 per month. Almost her whole check.
First of 2015 they quit covering my most expensive medication. Looked into Obamacare (no choice) and found out I would be put on Medicaid because of income, and savings are gone. Problem with Medicaid is no doctors in my area are accepting any new Medicare patients.
Could get a ruling on disability before the end of the year, but that wont help as I believe I would have to wait another 2 years for Medicare.
At this point has Obozo destroyed the health insurance market. Let’s say Republicans do everything we want, tort reform, competition across state lines, etc. Do we really believe the Ins. companies are going to lower these premiums to pre-obamacare rates? Without further gutting coverage, and higher deductibles?
At this point, me dying before the first of 2016, is the best thing that could happen to us.
You are the one Trump is referring to in his book. Or one of them, more precisely.
Our gutless politicians have failed us again and again. The ones most disappointed by the SCOTUS ruling on KlownKare were the Klown’s own regime. The whole point was to fail. Twice now Robert’s saved it. Beyond that, DC politicians have never been willing to say the gummint should have no role in healthcare. There just is not enough money in the world to give everything to everyone.
Ok. Let’s take a look.

Now that doesn’t include Reddit, politico, HuffPo, the Hill etc. if you wish, you can pull web stats and compare.
No, I actually believe it was a flat out slap in the face of Conservatism because trump knows sheep will worship the ground his words paved for him... but generally ‘sorry’ does indicate remorse at ones actions. Even if one is only using it to falsely imply it.
Why? Your post embodied all those words perfectly. I see no need to restate the obvious.
BTW, my material is fresh every day because every day another group of people need to hear it. Whether they like it or not doesn’t change the truth of it.
Except for the fact that he has been consistent on every interview and speech.
He has a history. Read it. It isn’t anything related to consistent. Pro choice/Pro life, Pro gun control/Pro 2A...many many flip flops. Usually around election season too.
That’s factual history.
I didn’t take it that way. I think the comment was ill considered in that it mentioned conservatives. Nonetheless, a basic truth should enter into these conversations and I think was the bigger point: we as a country are not going to turn away the severely injured and ill at the hospital door. That leaves open the question of how to handle those who due to circumstances, stupidity, or bad luck simply can’t pay. I think charity is they way. That coversation has never really happened: we just got obamacare jammed in our posteriors.
Norm, the poor have always been taken care of via the ERs.
To suggest that this is somehow new is a strawman.
One of my best friends is dying. A former Navy Seal, 6 feet tall. He now weights 108 lbs. and is in serious trouble due to neglect which has been caused by Obamacare. His “exchange” insurance provided ONE cancer care doctor, a quack that forgot to tell him to add salt to his feeding tube resulted in congestive heart failure. That exchange will ONLY support this quack! He was taken by ambulance to Vegas where only two surgeons are qualified to do his esophagus cancer. One can’t do it. The other finally said he would. He is scheduled for surgery on Monday. He very well might not make it off the table. All this is due to Obamacare. IF he survives, he will spend months in the ICU. It is that bad. Please all, Pray for Cliff. Oh, and the VA gave him a runaround. Had Trump’s plan been in effect, this would not have happened to him. He would have had his choice of hospitals and specialists.
Not sure where I said the poor were not taken care of.
I have personal experience with Obamacare as well. Earlier this year I spent 2 weeks in an ICU with a crash cart on the side of the bed. To make a long story short, Obamacare regs DIRECTLY put me there. I got lucky. I survived.
My issue with Trumps statement is not about the poor or taking care of those in actual need. It’s about his ‘Sorry Conservatives’ undertones when pared up to his actual record.
The bell ringing was priceless.
weird that his flight was diverted to jfk and a layover of 5 hours to la guardia. i’m presuming he got off into a limmo at jfk
Well now that is interesting. It would be most helpful if you could cite a reference for me, I need to read his plans for this so I can be informed. Shouldn’t take too long I’m guessing, if this is indeed his plan, it has to be available for us to peruse. Thanks
I find it awfully sad when one chooses to stay stuck. Maybe you are flattering yourself a bit much, if there truly were so many fresh eyes to read your insight, they seem to not be addressing it nor or they signing on, as is somewhat evident by the length of time fund raising seems to take.
Just a guess on my part, but we shall see.
I’ll just have to glance over your comments as they contain nothing new, as well as accept that you will be on the Trump posts to add your dose of purity and point out any flaws. Sigh
