Why Republicans Should Be Afraid to Debate Donald Trump
Yahoo ^ | Ken Tucker

The first Republican debate takes place Aug. 6. The candidates are busy conducting mock debates, rehearsing ways to get their messages across, and studying their opponents for signs of weaknesses, preparing little zingers that will enable them to score points and distinguish them from the herd.

Silly candidates: They should be studying tapes of The Apprentice.

If they don’t, they may end up steamrolled by the chairman of Trump Organization. No one is going to be “fired” by Donald Trump on Aug. 6, but many will be singed — they will feel the flames of his forest-fire fury. “Do not try to match him in anger and aggressiveness,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich advised the GOP candidates in an interview with the Associated Press. “It’s not possible.”

Free Universal Healthcare

Provide source for Trump saying..."Free Universal Healthcare"

I have heard him say twice "Free Market user paid healthcare!" in the last week.

please explain to me how someone gets “free” healthcare in the free market?

I dont know of too many businesses that can give their product away for free and stay in business for long. Which means... someone is paying for them to get the free healthcare... and guess who that someone is? yep, the government. And when the government is paying for the free healthcare of people it’s call free universal healthcare, or single payer. Which is exactly what the far left wanted but had to settle for Obamacare.

Again you leave out the part that you don’t want known. In this case “user paid” not free. Why waste my time if you can’t even be genuine/honest in your replies?

And you still haven’t provided a source for your claim he said, “Free Universal Healthcare” .. and you can’t.

Why? That’s an easy one. The vast majority of politicians - especially Republicans - have no core values, hence, no heartfelt and logical retorts to anything. They’ve become so dependent on sound bites and platitudes dreamed up by their political advisors (none of whom could get elected themselves) that they’re incapable of spontaneous reaction and extemporaneous speech on anything.

If I were Trump and one of the idiot politicians did that, my response would be, “If he’s such a hero, why did Congressman/Senator McCain work so tirelessly to hide information on POWs that were left behind after the US withdrawal from Vietnam...?”

“You ask for it, you got it - Toyota!”

At the end of the debate, we will be wondering why Jeb ever decided to run.
