You can pretend that Trump’s past statements are the same as a politician’s, but you would be comparing apples to oranges like all the other anti-trumpers.
So because Trump has not been elected to office, we are supposed to ignore everything he ever said and did before he decided to run, and just base our support on what he has said AFTER he decided to run for president? That's very convenient...
Did you know that his Canadian and Scotish health care comments date from 1999? He came up with them by that year, and included them in his book published in January 2000.
They’re fifteen years old.
Since that time we have had the health care debate. The dynamics came to light, and Trump now supports a healthy private sector alternative.
You wouldn’t know that from all the comments around here.
