TrumpCare or TheDonaldCare, Which sounds better?

Donald Trump on Health Care:

We must have universal health care
I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on health. It is an unacceptable but accurate fact that the number of uninsured Americans has risen to 42 million. Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have universal healthcare. 
Our objective [should be] to make reforms for the moment and, longer term, to find an equivalent of the single-payer plan that is affordable, well-administered, and provides freedom of choice. Possible? The good news is, yes. There is already a system in place-the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program-that can act as a guide for all healthcare reform. It operates through a centralized agency that offers considerable range of choice. While this is a government program, it is also very much market-based. It allows 620 private insurance companies to compete for this market. Once a year participants can choose from plans which vary in benefits and costs.

The sooner Donald Trump exits stage left the better. He is terrible for the Republican party.

This should be told all over the net.

How come the large media outlets have not picked this up.

Right Wingnut said...

I caught about 30 minutes of Levin's show earlier. He talked about this, his campaign contributions, and played clips of Trump from the past few years supporting liberal programs and politicians.

Bos,

I hope you don't mind, but I posted this on FR, with you listed as the author, of course.

Trump is a piece of shit.
I'll bet he's playing us all and setting everything up for an Obama win.

Trump is playing us all for fools.
He's no more than a libturd troll.

If this is what he wants to promote, he is a non- starter.

Trump appears courageous supposedly leading us to the truth. But he’s a paper tiger. Or IMO a paper mother grizzly. The Left can shred him at will. How would he withstand the Left and their media’s Palin-treatment? There is only one potential candidate we know that can survive the Palin-treatment and come out strong.

I wonder what type of health care benefits he gives his employees. It would sure be interesting to find out.

Right Wingnut said...

The Trump supporters are either ignoring this, or making excuses for it. Pathetic.

Trump scares me.

I can't believe that there are Republicans that take him and his theatrics seriously.

He would be a disaster as out nominee.
