The GOP never wanted to replace Obamacare. That involves creating a viable alternativeā¦you knowā¦governing. They never went for that stuff, and never will. They just wanted to run against it. Oh, and if millions of people lose their health insurance, and perhaps thousands suffer or even die, well, thatās of no concern if there is a political advantage to be had. They would be ashamed, if only they were capable of shame.

A plan without details is not a plan. The end.

My very strong suspicion is that republicans in congress will quickly learn that they canāt rely on anything that Trump tells them. His āpolicyā position is purely a short term gut reaction to whatever way the wind is blowing at the moment and how he feels about the people with which he is dealing.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Friday that President-elect Donald Trump āfully supportsā his plan to delay the repeal of Obamacare until a replacement plan is prepared.
Thatās because you just talked to him. If someone else approaches him an hour from now and says that we should replace the ACA by giving everyone leeches, Trump will likely support that.
If someone should support him tomorrow and suggest that we replace the ACA by declaring all citizens to be doctors so they can treat themselves, heāll likely support that.
Trump always loves the last idea he heard.

I heard that he remembers better if you kiss his cheek when you tell him something.

True. And thatās a real problem for them. The level of dysfunction in communicating or keeping up with Trump (tweets and mouth) will test the craziest of the TP and Freedom Caucus to the point of a constant āFU no FUā conversation. Canāt wait.

I think he is a troll. Walks like a troll. Talks like a troll.

Letās hope this will become fact, for it will lead to maximum chaos and their collective defeat (=maybe) during the next cycle?
Rand has an idea to repeal and replace immediately not a plan to do so. Trump loves this idea. Isnāt that nice. Try going to the hospital and telling them they will get paid with an idea.

It does appear that he has memory problems. In fact, after the Big Four briefed him on the hack on Friday, he issued tweets whose content indicated that he already had forgotten what they told him? Any Alzheimerās experts out there? What do you think is happening?

Trumpās lying may be the reason Paul has so quickly publicized what Trump told himāheās placed Trump on the public record on this issue.

A claim on Twitter is no way to create policy, but because Random is showing how stupid he is Iāll link to this again. Heās become one more of the useful idiots of the Ridiculous party.

I also agree with Rand that the ACA should only be repealed when there is an effective replacement, but thatās because I donāt believe they will ever come up with an effective replacement (rebranding doesnāt count).
One thing that Rand should understand is that, unlike PESO (President-Elect Sex Offender), I will stand by what I have said for more than 24 hours.

Agree. I vote for ālies all the time, so who can believe this?ā + kernel of truth, because Trump cares about his ratings.
Actually, I am not sure Trump has the cognitive capacity to lie. He doesnāt understand what truth is. What he knows is how to make words come out of his mouth that produce the desired short-term emotional effect in his audience (the good ratings).
As a general rule, I am pretty sure that once we hear Trump say āx,ā itās often only a matter of time (days? hours? minutes?) before we hear him say ānot-xā (because heās addressing a different audience thatās upset he said āxā) and āI never said x.ā
