” He got himself sidetracked and never clarified what he was talking about very well”
He gets sidetracked often because he talks incessantly and uses the word “I” more than anyone I’ve heard perhaps. He went on and on about how smart he is, having attending the Wharton school and his uncle being a pioneer at MIT. Just on and on about how “amazing” he is and not answering the question. He also told Anderson that he might send China and Mexico cease and desist (sp?) demands. He didn’t laugh and neither did the audience.

We know to expect twisted bullshit from you every time.
There is only one “mandate.”
Trump knows the value of words. He is moving left to siphon votes from Bern/Hill. Tomorrow may surprise people that maybe Trump isn’t as far ahead of Cruz as the pollsters want people to believe. JMHO
Well said.
But unfortunately useless against Trump supporters, who are the most pathetic emotionally retarded followers the world has seen.
Trump is showing his true liberal colors. Once the primaries are over, Trump will move so fast to the left it will make everyone dizzy.
Anderson Cooper talked about what would happen if the Obamacare mandate was repealed and insurance providers no longer had to cover pre-existing conditions. The first words out of Donald Trump’s mouth where “well, I like the mandate.” Trump supporters can spin as much as they want but Trump plainly said that he likes the Obamacare mandate.
.
Trump has constantly promised Canadian style Single Payer “healthcare.”
Get some truth, next time its on sale.
.
Mandate + Must cover = Obamacare.
Without getting rid of the Mandate, the essential element of Obamacare is not repealed.
That headline is perfectly correct because that is what Trump said. He responded to Anderson Cooper’s question which talked about Obamacare being repealed so that there would no longer be a mandate. The first words out of Trump’s mouth were “well, I like the mandate”
.
I can’t imagine how Trump can move any further left.
He’ll fall off the edge of the world. (he is a confirmed FlatEarther)
.
I agree completely. Trump has given his support to the key element of Obamacare.
.
Nothing patq posts squares with anything but his insane fantasies.

He has been talking nonstop for seven months... Actually I don’t know how he does as well as he does. He does use the word “I” a lot. I have plenty of reservations. But think he is the best thing we have going for our side right now.
He either doesn’t understand true healthcare issues very well or just doesn’t want to just say outright for political reasons that we don’t need anything to “replace” Obamacare; we just need to open up the healthcare market. The bit about where he doesn’t want to let people die in the streets is just something to make himself sound more compassionate and doesn’t mean anything. No one is denied emergency care in this country. Healthcare savings plans are a good solution to save a little money on your taxes, but a solution for nothing.
Trump is my #2. But getting more squishy all the time.
The Mandate is the key issue against the establishment. It also uses the tax code to make us all serfs.
He just said he likes the mandate which is the central part of Obamacare. Trump wants the government to still be able to force everyone to buy insurance.
>>My understanding is that he was referring to the issue of preexisting conditions.<<
The mandate itself was designed to overcome the issue of preexisting conditions, so in that sense, sure, he was addressing the issue of preexisting conditions...by supporting the mandate!!
You remember the mandate, right, the issue of the government forcing us all to buy insurance, the one that Chief Justice Roberts was assailed by virtually every Republican in the country, most likely including you, for finding constitutional. Yes, that mandate.
Geez...don’t even talk about “understanding”. Trump supporters don’t have a clue what they’re about to unload on this country if they succeed. Not. A. Clue.
You said...
†Trump supporters can spin as much as they want but Trump plainly said that he likes the Obamacare mandate.”
I saw it, too
Should he get the nomination or win the election, I think we’re going to see a lot of buyer’s remorse here. Right now, they’re too emotionally invested in him.
That is what I gathered also, and the reason why we both did is because that is what he said.
Your remember when Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose his supporters? This is worse. He’s aiming at all of us with this one, and if he’s President, he won’t miss.
And he was right about the shooting by the way. This proves it. Just read the way his supporters twist what he actually said so that it comes out “right.”
