Still distracted by the picture above? My point exactly. Don’t worry, so am I, but that doesn’t change the issue at hand. There was a lot of blood in the water over the weekend, and like a shark feeding frenzy, everyone circled around it, hoping more blood would be spilled.
Meanwhile, while everyone was talking blood, sexism, Megyn Kelly, and hurled insults, there was a Trump soundbite no one seemed to be talking about. At the GOP debate last week, Donald Trump kinda sorta defended socialized medicine in Canada. Because that’s such a resounding success.
Watch the clip:
Last I checked, socialized medicine was frowned upon by the Republican party, and the last presidential candidate who supported it got an @ss-whooping in 2012, delivering another four spectacular years of Obama. You da man, Romney!
Should Donald Trump attack reporters for asking questions he doesn’t like? Mmm, probably not. Should Megyn Kelly have asked that first sexism question at the debate following the fake, democrat-created War on Women meme? Mmm, probably not. Was it a good thing that Megyn Kelly kind of hid behind a sexism shield when she also answers, with no qualms, plenty of sexist questions from Howard Stern? Not to mention, lest we forget, the picture above this column. Mmm…you get the idea.
But all of this is a giant red herring. Donald Trump, whether you love him for his policies, his insults, his business record, if you love his golf courses, or if you just love everything about him, the man still said socialized medicine was a good idea.
But let’s all focus on the blood comment. That’s totally, like, super important.
Dummies. All around.
Typical person who only writes about sound bites. He said some type of universal care has worked in places but not here. We need to dissolve state lines to create competition and help the very poor. Repeal Obamacare and replace with ways to create competition that will naturally lower costs of healthcare. You focus on him saying “it works in Canada” because you don’t know anything about him. He has said this many times. He didn’t say he wants Canada’s healthcare system.
Once again, Steven, you are spot on! I wish people would pay attention to everything he is about.
Mr. Crowder, you seemed to have missed where he said it could have wroked in an eraly age like the one he asked about. I inferred form that and the rest of his answer, he no longer thought it would work in the state that the US is in today and he was looking towards a means of bringing it into the open market and not a government funded or single payer style health care.
I am not a supporter of Trump and tho Ilike that he is bringing forth discussions thta probably owuld not have beenhad without him, I do not think he would be a good president, but I do think he should be given the chance to try and bet the nomination and if anything bury himself. I do not believe he needs people to mislead others on what he is saying to do this.
On what planet did you learn to spell?
Soooo…lets recap, Trump says that politicians are corrupt because they basically accept bribes from corrupt, ill-intent people who are only looking to forward their own agenda and wreck the nation.
I completely agree with him on that point and it happens everywhere including here in Australia.
Then he says that HE is one of the horrible people lining the pockets of the politicians…and he gets a fucking cheer for it. What the actual fuck is wrong with you people. You want to keep corrupt politicians OUT of office…by going straight to the source instead. If you believe in him so passionately the why don’t you get him to run for the senate or Governor so he can prove he will do what he says. Everyone got their panties in a bunch about a ONE term senator becoming president, and you want to put in someone who openly admits to partaking in corruption and simply works the crowd with buzz words that he knows a fed up voter will love…he is just a great showman. Why trust someone with liberal view ties (until it suits him) WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB IN THE WORLD.
Just my opinion…seems strange is all. Maybe I don’t have the full story or something since I’m over here. Just seems like blind hope.
I think you paint a pretty accurate picture, except we in America are also tired of the same old people running for office and we know Clinton’s and Bush’s have their own set of issues as well. What people are saying is we want new blood, whether it is red or blue is yet to be proven.
Megyn hasn’t “hidden behind a sexism shield”. Everyone has just pointed out on her behalf that Trump obviously stopped himself in mid-remark. He sure would have “gone there” in private.
And the question about his temperament being presidential or not was a valid one. And we saw why later.
Socialism (socialized medicine) is only achievable by getting around the Constitution. Trump is just another narcissist, control freak and will try to do what he wants by any means. I’m waiting for the other candidate that threw our founding document under the bus to get called out for it, too. The statement by Christie in his back-and-forth with Rand Paul has been downplayed so far. He straight up committed to subvert the 4th Amendment of the Constitution as if it was patriotic to do so. As far as I’m concerned, this is an automatic disqualification.
That is exactly what Obama has done. Why is he not being called out on this as well????
Aaannnndd we can thank the media, Fox included, for keeping this distraction distracting.
Because of Donald conservatives can talk about immigration, abortion and the fake war on women. Until Donald we had been forced out of those conversations. Not thanks to the progressive GOP or one of the 15 other candidates but Donald. I want to know which of the candidates will press charges against Holder and Obozo if elected. I want a show a hands on that question all you RINO career politicians who think that ONLY a career politician can be an effective President.
See he said that it WORKED in Canada. He didn’t say he wanted their socialist healthcare system. If he were against Obamacare then why would he want Canada’s system? You focus on him saying “It works in Canada”, He’s referring to the individual plans. Ya know, what we had BEFORE Obamacare? I’m starting to drift from you Steven. I like your stuff with Islam and feminism, but you’re starting to sound like a guy who just doesn’t want a non-politician to be president.
Once again poor reporting. As donald did not say he is for single payer. He wants universal but with th e state lines removed
Most Canadians do not share (T)Rumps love for their health care system. And (T)Rumps entry into the election is simply as a guarantee that HIllary wins.
It looks like it might be a four-way race Trump on the Constitution party Sanders on Green Party Hillary or Biden on the Dems and Reps ?? Which means anything can happen or anyone win.
“The man still said socialized medicine was a good idea.” What? You didn’t hear the word “private” from Trump’s mouth during the debate? I heard it. As Trump chided Rand Paul, “You’re having a hard time” with this. So I’ll type as slowly as I can for you: Trump said that he was for a PRIVATE system with the state boundaries removed to create competition within the industry. Does that sound like socialized medicine to you? Wow.
Once again thel news media is trying to bring Trump down. Guess what, it’s not going to happen. Trump will not be silenced and neither will we. Trump for president 2016. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
Meanwhile, Killary is under investigation by the FBI… There needs to be some sort of National emergency coverage for the truly needy. BUT, personal choice for insurance across the world, if need be, is the answer. imho
The only option in my view as a true independent voter is Bernie Sanders, lumps and all.
I used to think Megyn was too cerebral to be a really hot blonde. WOW! SHWING!
Donald Trump is doing this to massage his gigantic ego. “The Donald” is nothing but a thin-skinned, attention- seeking, self-aggrandizing media whore. “I’m great! I have a high I.Q.! A very high I.Q.! He’s stupid! She’s stupid! He’s soft! She’s a dog! They’re stupid!” Playground BS…
