Watching the Republican party implode

Trump has a great chance of getting to the 1237 mark where no convention is needed.

I could have sworn that primaries were for voters to vote for delegates. The delegates then go to the Convention and vote for the nomination.

Many of the delegates are pledged for Trump. They are required to vote for him on the first ballot. If he is able to get the required amount of delegates, pledged and others, then he wins the nomination whether the GOP likes it or not.

That ND delegate acting like he can't understand the need for primaries should be yanked out and eliminated from ever being a delegate again.

There has not been a brokered convention for Republicans since 1952. The GOP really needs to think about what they are doing here.

You're welcome.

Really? No, it hasn't.

You say it's been great. If you happen to need a heart bi-pass do you have the $100K in you HSA to cover it?

So now, American workers not only must have their own money for retirement and the kid's college but also their own health expenditures. Sorry, but most American workers can't sock $100,000 away in case they need an expensive surgery.

HSA seem to be a backwards way to provide health coverage. The big expenses are surgery, hospital care and cancer treatment and most Americans don't have the resources to save enough to cover those costs.

You're being dishonest. That graph shows the overall trend but it does NOT account for the many who lost their health insurance:

ObamaCare: Health Insurance Cancellation

"Going into ObamaCare’s first enrollment period in 2013 4.7 million of the 270 million Americans with health coverage lost plans."

There were additional cancellations in 2014.

The pace slowed down a bit in 2015:

Fewer people lost 2015 health plans due to Obamacare

"Fewer than 1 million Americans had their health insurance plans canceled for 2015 for noncompliance with Obamacare rules"

"Those cancellations contradicted President Barack Obama's repeated vows that under the ACA, "If you like your current plan, you will be able to keep it."


The point is that your graph doesn't address my claim... that many people LOST their health insurance BECAUSE OF Obamacare.

You are either dishonest or totally clueless. Which is it?
