Gosh do you think Red State, Hot Air, and others will print the clarification.
Didn’t think so.
Well gee maybe now the blogs can move on to the next outrage of the day?
He’s gonna take care of us!
Il pappa trump.
Why WHY WHY!!!! does the only guy in the race who’s right on immigration, trade, and national sovereignty issues also have to be such a dope when people ask him about stuff like health care?
How hard is it to have a staffer train him to say “Repeal and replace with a real free market alternative”?
They must be old people pre internet age who don't know how to look stuff up in Google. The rest that re-post these smears leaked as stories are people who pretend they are neutral but hope by re-posting the lie the convince more of those elderly to change their mind. Or some such.
As we have been saying all day and as was obvious from the context.
Well we’ll find out tomorrow if this was the silver bullet!
Clarifies, walks back....po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
As a general rule, a politician’s off-the-cuff response to an interview question is usually a more reliable indicator of their true beliefs than a carefully-worded statement/retraction issued the next day.
That’s certainly not what he said last night. That said, Trump has never been one to let consistency or integrity get in the way of following the political winds wherever they blow.
yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People were not and are not dying on the streets. Before Zerocare the “disadvantaged” had health insurance accepted in every hospital in America...The ER. Now, even with Zerocare these same people have subsidized insurance through Zerocare, but they still use the ER, because they found out with insurance you have co-pays and deductibles. They aren’t going to pay those because they’re special, the rest of us chumps pay twice—once for their subsidized policy and again with higher charges when we go to the ER or hospital (through the front door).
I can just see the next lying ad from weasel Rafael.
“Donald Trump is not a conservative, he believes in mandates, which is part of ObamaCare. In addition he wants to help people that are dying in the streets! That’s not conservatism. Why should good conservatives help somebody that’s dying?”
“And did I tell you I’m a Reagan conservative? I followed his every move and modeled my life after the great conservative Reagan. It makes no difference that I was I still in grade school when he got elected, I was already smarter than 40 year old men. They all marveled at how smart I was”!! “They all said it’s willed from God that this 10 year old boy genius is destined to be next Ronald Reagan”!!
So he is saying he will repeal obama-care including the mandate and pass Trump-care with a mandate?
Nope, not really.
So once again the rational people who actually read the transcript were right and the screaming campaign bots who posture as so much “smarter” then the “Trumpteers” where wrong again.

I was asked about healthcare by Anderson Cooper & have been consistent- I will repeal all of #ObamaCare, including the mandate, period.
I was referring to a backstop for pre-existing conditions. I will eliminate the law, in its entirety, & replace it w/ something much better.
I will replace it with private plans, health savings accounts, & allow purchasing across state lines. Maximum choice & freedom for consumer.
I’m self-funding and I am going to take care of the people not the special interests and insurance companies like the other candidates.
Remember, Cruz and Bush gave us Roberts who upheld #ObamaCare twice! I am the only one who will #MAKEAMERICAGREATAGAIN!
more trump lies.
Maybe he was confused about man date because Anderson C asked the question
His clarification is no better, to wit, he wasn’t talking about a mandate but instead, a back-stop on pre-existing conditions.
The two concepts go hand in hand. The whole point of a mandate is to force healthy people to pay to offset the back-stop on pre-existing conditions.
So, Trump is going to give us cheaper healthcare, with more choices, that back-stops pre-existing conditions, and no mandate?
Wow.
Sorry, but that’s a bigger whopper than, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor...”
Yesterday he claimed he would defund it.
