And what should we do, oh all knowing one?
I'm a Cruzer that likes Trump, but it's all out war here at FR and even if the Cruzers and Trumpsters declared a truce here, what impact would that have on the race?
When you say, "better watch out people" if you can't offer some constructive advice who cares about a warning that we all know about.
Really?
Looks like my Chaz Bono theory is out the door.
If not for Trump’s tweets yesterday about the sleezey tactics of creepy Cruz in iowa the controversy would have quickly faded. Cruz was exposed for the phoney that he is and that is a winning strategy. Tweet away DT.
The Iowa polls were not wrong. The entrance polls had Trump leading. Many people switched from Carson to Cruz during the caucus process. In NH, SC, etc there is no caucus.
Rubio is now the GOPe establishment’s hope for their number one “issue”, and that is an endless spigot of cheap foreign labor, Rubio is their guy, the establishment pro-amnesty agenda, Rubio is their guy, the do not question “refugees” because it might also bring up questions about illegal aliens which the establishment loves, Rubio will be bought to speak no evil about “refugees” with the Bush donor money that will be coming Rubio’s way soon, Rubio is their guy, the neo-con and pro-amnesty Chamber of Commerce Bushbots crowd on FOX working for the Karl Rove et all GOPe establishment which is finally coming to grips that Bush isn’t going to win nor stop the anti-amnesty nationalist Trump, Rubio is now their guy, millions and millions of dollars from the cheap-labor crowd who would actually pretend being against illegal immigration if they could reinstate slavery and replace one form of cheap labor with another and which any form of cheap labor is good cheap labor including 800,000 Somali slave class is a gopd day, Rubio is their guy.
Rubio is now their guy. He was part if the Gang of Eight. Now, when they tell the Bush donors to give their money to Rubio, Rubio will talk nice words about America’s values of welcoming illegal invasion of foreigners and about taking down walls that divide America from American values of cheap labor for America a Nation built on lettuce and how wonderful are his new Cuban supporters who are right now coming enmass but sort really do not hate Castro and sort of like socialism and the great American “safety belt”, what to speak of all those cute Zika virus folks from South of the Border who like AIDS can transfer the virus with sexual intercourse and not just mosquitos and of course it is an American value to help these people along with the white trash who goes to bed with the cute illegal Zikaliens and have sex with them and introduces the new AIDS into Los Angeles and Rubio will come around and support “affordable healthcare” as an American value along with taking the same big crony capitalism “health care” interests money, Rubio is their guy.
Who will Trump call “stupid” next? All you fools who are going to go Rubio. I hope Trumps says it loud and clear, even if Cruz and FOX objects.
I would of though it obvious. Instead of spending so much time shooting at each other, shift fire onto Rubio.
Watch for the gay Rubio rumors to start circulating
Rubio hasn’t started to be hit by the big dog yet..and from what I’m reading the bubble boy is being protected by his handlers and is scaredy fraid of making the big dog mad at him.. but it’s coming
Moderates were the only group Trump did best with in Iowa.
In Trump’s dreams.
Cruz has Trump on the defensive now, who else has been able to do that?
So, when is the sling-shot effect going to kick in for Bush and Kasich?
Bush claimed he would win NH.
Kasich was said to be in a strong #2 position a couple of weeks ago.
Trump quotes from just before the Iowa Caucus.
“I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people.”
Asked who would pay for it, Trump said,
“The government’s gonna pay for it.”
“We’re going to work with our hospitals. We’re going to work with our doctors. We’ve got to do something. You can’t have a — a small percentage of our economy, because they’re down and out, have absolutely no protection so they end up dying from, you know, what you could have a simple procedure or even a pill. You can’t do that. We’ll work something out. That doesn’t mean single payer. And I mean, maybe [Cruz]’s got no heart.”
“I want people taken care of. I have a heart. I want people taken care of.”
**********
So basically... Medicaid for all! (alongside a private system that works across state lines) and if you disagree your heartless.
Pretty much.
The only poll which counts, is the primary itself. The undecideds will either decide or stay home. The ones for Jeb or Carson (or anybody else not in the top 3)will most likely switch to whichever candidate in the top 3 they prefer.
ok...
well... I have to admit, I love free stuff as much as the next guy.
But... we are currently 19 Trillion in debt.
Where are we going to get the money to pay for Medicaid for all?
Rubio’s plan from the first is to slowly peak. 3rd in Iowa, 2nd in N.H. and 1st in South Carolina. If he does that he wins. Anyone who still thinks he is the establishment choice just does not pay attention to the facts. He is as conservative as Cruz with a different style. Yes, I am aware of the gang of eight. So what, everyone was trying to do something with Immigration. Cruz has moved so far to the right on this issue he has no hope of winning a general election. Rubio is not McCain or Romney or they would have already endorsed him. HE can do the same things Cruz can do only he can build unity in order to govern.
So polls are completely inaccurate....but you guys will be the first to tell us “look at Trump’s unfavorability ratings!!!!!!!!1!!1”.
The truth is that you can’t poll a caucus.
But to act like polls are completely discredited by something they get wrong every four years, is just absurd.
Trump has to answer to this.
For me, we need private insurance . Individuals can pay with pre- tax dollars and use HSAs. That solves portability.
Medicaid should be better means tested with referrals to urgent care facilities instead of emergency room use.
For those who have means and no insurance for medical services— they should have liens on their assets.
There is too much usage of safety net.
Predict that Trump lead will be 10 points lighter by the Super bowl. He is killing himself with stupid statements since Iowa. He needs Roger Stone back, asap.
