I think many conservatives have underestimated the staying power of the Swamp. They will not give up easily. They are deeply entrenched, have myriad government resources at their disposal, have access to lots of money, and they have lots of useful allies including the media.
Eradicating the Swamp is a pipe dream. But I do give Trump credit for exposing them for what they are.
Without the mandate? That's all the difference in the world.
The mandate is everything. Why else do you think Obama and the Democrats pushed so hard for it, and have been howling so much at the prospect of its removal? Because the mandate is critical to propping up the Obamacare house of cards.
Make no mistake: if the mandate goes, consumers end up with decent options again—based on competition—and Obamacare collapses and dies under its own unsustainable weight...
yep
real low cost catastrophic insurance for young people will eliminate the programs proposed here. The proposed programs seem to be in effect interim insurance for the transition period
hahahah. My outrage isn’t against Trump. Trump was the ONLY voice a few months ago saying, ok, let’s just repeal it. Where was Cruz supporting him, out every day on “the shows” saying Trump is absolutely right? Trump knows something has to get done and is willing to negotiate. If he had partners in the Repuke camp he wouldn’t go with the Dems at all. Trump is the ONLY thing good about the Repuke party right now.
“I deem this FAKE NEWS. Trump wants Obamacare GONE.”
How do you just decide something is fake? Everyone who was in the room acknowledges what he said.
“I deem it fake news when it does not match Trump’s promises. You have to remember that all those ‘in the room’ are the enemedia and that they collude among themselves to tell lies.”
There was no media in the room. It was the Senate GOP lunch, and it was the various GOP Senators that reported what he said.
And your definition of “fake news” is ridiculous. Trump is not infallible, and is completely capable of changing his position on any number of things.
