Trump really should sue Red State because this is an outright lie.

The conversation was about the mandate to insure people with pre-existing conditions. Anderson actually asked Trump what he would do about people with pre-existing conditions.

Trump then said he likes the mandate (again pre-existing conditions) and was immediately cut off.

This country has been debating Obamacare for nearly a decade (back to the 2008 primaries, at least). And in that entire time period-and in discussions about health insurance policy even before then--the word "mandate" has had a very specific meaning: a requirement to purchase insurance, either for oneself (the individual mandate) or for one's employees (the employer mandate). The word "mandate" is simply not used to refer to the requirement that insurance companies cover people with pre-existing conditions.

The two concepts are inter-related, in that they were both crucial parts of the deal Obama and the Dems struck with insurance companies in order to foist Obamacare upon us (the deal was that, in exchange for agreeing to cover people with pre-existing conditions, insurance companies were promised new healthy customers, through a mandate that those people purchase insurance), which is what Cooper was asking about--he was asking why insurance companies would agree to cover pre-existing conditions if they didn't get the healthy customers in exchange. But, the mandate and pre-existing conditions are two separate issues.

trump said he liked the mandate. There is only the obamacare mandate currently so that would be the one he is agreeing with.

Spin it as you will, henshouldmhave stood against it like, Cruz or even Rubio would have.

When he is not doing personal attacks he flubs lot of answers.

Where is his lawsuit against Cruz?
