Are any of the Trump devotees concerned about his agenda?


Trump Pushes Single Payer Healthcare, Tax Increase on Wealthy - Breitbart

Donald Trump: Obamacare’s going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at what’s going on with premiums where they’re up 40, 50, 55 percent.


Scott Pelley: How do you fix it?


Donald Trump: There’s many different ways, by the way. Everybody’s got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, “No, no, the lower 25 percent that can’t afford private. But–”


Scott Pelley: Universal health care.


Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don’t care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.


Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How?


Donald Trump: They’re going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably–


Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?


Donald Trump: –the government’s gonna pay for it.

Not at all. In fact, this is one of the things I most like about The Donald. He's more like a British Tory than a Republican.

And this is why I cannot vote for Trump. He still believes that "the government is going to pay for it" does not translate into "taxpayers are going to pay for it."

Sadly, Trump has not come to terms that running a private business, regardless of how successful and powerful, does not translate into to running a bloated government, with multiple party interests and agendas all pulling in separate directions.

Trump wants to make the thieving hedge-funders---y'know, the ones who caused the 2008 Great Recession?---pay for it! Nothing else has worked, whether it was Bush's methods that got us into this mess in the first place, or Obama's methods that haven't really gotten us out of it.

The rightwingers need reminding that Trump isn't one of them on many issues.

Now if he would say he was going to pay for it by ending the wars, I might vote for him.

They are as aware of that as the left is concerning Hillary and Obama in 2012.

Even Breitbart is beginning to realize what they've helped create? Good luck stuffing that mushroom cloud back into its nice shiny plutonium sphere, guys.
