Discussion: Spicer: Trump Thinks Medicaid Expansion Should Phase Out In 2020

Whenever I see a headline starting with “Trump Thinks…” I cringe.

Perfectly timed to avoid fallout before the election. Own your mess, Trump!

“We have a date in the bill and that’s the date in the bill.”

General George Armstrong Custer (from the film Little Big Man): “Your miserable life is not worth the reversal of a Custer decision.”

Well that’d be a first.

This is how Trump conned poor whites into not believing what his campaign said: “Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said that as president he would use Medicaid to cover poor people who can’t afford private health insurance, and make birth control available without a prescription.”

Shame on Bloomberg for running the lie in the headline, and the weasely “The comments appeared to differ , with … aspects of Trump’s own policy proposals on his website”

“House leadership earlier Friday shot down the idea that they’d be willing to negotiate around the date.”

So they don’t mind negotiating now or some time after the date, just “around the date”?
What date is that? And how near that date are they willing to negotiate?

Couldn’t you just say “negotiate the date”? Or do you have to use up your daily quota of the all-purpose preposition “around”?

We got some dates that matter more you imbecile.
Nov 2018
Nov 2020
Nov 2022

Then the mess will be totally cleaned up.
Sounds like a lotto draw. lol
