Sometimes, in a particularly ugly presidential race, you tend to take more somber and cynical view of the candidates running for the position of greatest power in the world. And then you discover that you are overestimating.
Let's look at the positive side of Donald Trump.
Okay, it's not a big deal. Possibly not even the size of a nugget. But does not there a time when you thought he could get out of the conservative mold? Incidentally, the phrase thousand times repeatedly against the power of big political donors was just a boast that has money. And he has been very bad in ... many other things.
But occasionally, as Trump harangued against Republicans blooded, external status was revealed: Hands Off Social Security. Planned Parenthood is fine. In addition, everyone should have access to medical services.
Even in the beginning, it seemed that he supported the health care plan of a single payer, something like Bernie Sanders. Wow.
"I'll take care of everyone. I do not care if it costs me votes or not. Everyone will have medical care, "Scott told Pelley, CBS.
Now it is quite clear that Trump had not thought through their proposals. This happens so often that makes one wonder what he's talking him all those flights by plane. Does your agenda? ¿Golf Scores? Plans for dinner?
This month it seemed that Trump still held that position on health care. In a match between candidates organized by CNN, Anderson Cooper mentioned Obamacare as a program indicating that everyone should have insurance. Republicans hate this idea. They argue that all Americans have the divine right to refuse health coverage and entrust their fate, if they get sick, to the mercy of the very expensive emergency rooms of private hospitals.
"Well, I like [Obamacare]," said Trump. "Okay, here's where I'm a little different. I do not want people to die in the streets and constantly say ".
So low have we fallen. The leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination brags that does not want people to die in the streets.
"Now, some will say: 'That's not a Republican comment,'" said Cooper.
Wow. Trump has a very low opinion of the Republicans. And insurers. Do you see why a desperate citizen could believe that he is the lesser of three evils competing at the head? Remember, the candidate of the wise leadership of the party is a person who does not want to allow abortions for victims of rape and basically believes that the only people who should have to pay taxes is the one that worked for the money.
Trump has said that the poor could receive care, "perhaps through programs such as Medicare. That is to have heart. "
Three days later, CNN Trump again, now to talk to Jake Tapper, and denies that he agrees with public health program.
Guess. After Donald Trump said that, after all, did not support public health programs also said he did not want ...
a) Another difficult question
b) People who die in the open
Matched!
The answer is B. And in case anyone has not noticed his big heart, Trump added that he did not want people "died on sidewalks."
One of the most popular aspects of Obamacare is that prohibits insurance companies from discriminating against people who have diseases that require frequent care such as diabetes or cancer. The issue is how to ensure that people before they get sick. You can create something like a Medicare for all, or requiring people to buy insurance and help those with low incomes to pay.
Trump has said he does not like the word "mandate" used to define the Obamacare, "because that means it's mandatory."
So what the hell do you want?
Well, I consulted with his campaign. What Trump wants is for people to be able to create savings accounts for health. It also seeks the possibility of allowing states pay Medicaid (health program for low-income people) with federal resources and also wants to make premiums health insurance are tax deductible.
People do not die in the streets because there are emergency rooms.
We'll overlook the part that Trump is the leader of the Republican race and has not yet developed a basic plan. The most important point is that your campaign has the same position on health care for Americans than Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
"If Republicans did not maintain the same positions on Obamacare, then you have a story. That match is not a surprise to anyone, "said Sam Clovis, chief strategist of the campaign Trump said in a telephone interview.
So, in short, Donald Trump is just another conservative Republican mailorder, with the difference that more rants against Muslims and Mexicans. Abandon all hope and try not to die on the street.
