Sigh. Trump voters don't care about what Liberals say he used to say. They listen to what he is saying now, with his steadfast positions that he has always held, because he is a man of "principal". He is always right, even when he changes his mind. He was right then, too, but also now. It's all part of His plan, which Liberals can't understand, because they want to kill babies.
Got it?
Nobody ever even cares when he contradicts himself in one sentence, why would they care he did it with a time gap?
This is the real thing here. It feels to me like going after him about changing his stance on the ACA has the effect of making him seem more coherent, not less. If you asked him to give his stance on the ACA today, within about two minutes he would probably say he was for it and against it and that he created it and that it’s illegal and that he’ll make it better or already made it better, while also making it clear he doesn’t actually know what it does
As his language skills deteriorate further they'll celebrate his secret magical private language with multiple layers of hidden cofefe meaning. His slide into dementia will be the proof of his genius in their minds.
A lot of people have forgotten that the lead up to the 2016 election, Republicans had passed bills in the house and Senate to do a full repeal of Obamacare. Something like 80+ times. Obama, of course, vetoed it. As the Republicans knew he would.
Trump comes into office, with a Republican majority and suddenly those bills stop.
Not a single bill goes through the house or Senate to do the full repeal.
Why?
BECAUSE THE REPUBLICANS KNEW TRUMP WOULD SIGN IT!
why wouldnt they want to actually repeal it?
the could proclaim victory whilst screwing over the poor and vulnerable, with the backing of their voters.
is the assumption that they dont want their voters to find out that Obamacare actually saved their asses?
Yes. Republicans know how much their constituents actually like the benefits. They hate "Obamacare" but love the Affordable Care Act.
It's kind of like Social Security. All of the Republicans say they hate it but they aren't going to touch it with a 10-foot pole.
"SoCiAlism bAd!" said the veteran who lived on base, shopped at the commissary, used the GI Bill and then takes a social security check every month with guv'mint insurance.
Oh yeah. I remember how he had this secret better replacement all ready and it never materialized.
It was always two weeks away from being revealed/voted on.
I remember the ghouls celebrating with beer (Bud Light, prior to their trans freakout) over the House voting to repeal.
