President Trump got exactly what he wanted in Rino care. It is what he campaigned on and it contained what he promised during the campaign.

It is what he supported when it was crafted in the dark, it is what his team contributed to, it is what he wanted when he threatened to primary conservatives who opposed it.

It was his promises that ultimately doomed Rino care to a plan that would not reduce premiums, would bankrupt us through Medicare, and would in fact not extend coverage. It was a lousy plan but it was doomed because Trump, as well as the Rino Republicans, did not have the political courage either now or on the campaign trail to take away an entitlement.

The president did not "walk away" from Rino care he was sent into headlong retreat. He pulled the bill, or was it Paul Ryan's suggestion? Both are now trying to take credit.

Trump's only mistake was not in giving Paul Ryan the benefit of the doubt. His mistake was in demanding a "reform" that incorporated all of the socialist features of Obama care which doomed both plans in the first place.

His role in the Rino care fiasco was certainly not evidence on his part of an attempt to reduce government.

I did not deny that he might be trying to reduce government in other respects, but time will tell.

Yawn.

You provided all the necessary context to your perspective on Donald Trump the moment you derided him as a con-man and a fraud during the campaign.

Now that he's ascended to the Presidency, against your wishes and against your prediction, of course, you continue with your negative framing of virtually anything and everything that he does.

It's entirely gratuitous, and detracts noticeably from your usual eloquence and erudition. But with respect to Donald Trump, it's predominately bashing from you, sprinkled with enough superficial positivity to mildly dilute your passionate dislike.

But it's just completely boilerplate anti-Trump disparagement.

You're still of the same opinion that you were during the campaign: the President is a fraud and a charlatan, nothing more.

If your sentiments had changed one iota from your historical record, there would have been some sign of that by now. There hasn't been, and thus your opinions remain deeply slanted against President Trump, who deserves much more credit and esteem than your transparently negative bias will permit...
