Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Do you think he should clock out if he has to go to the bathroom?

 

This is top notch Baron.

 

Like what?

The ACA was a Republican idea. It came from the Heritage Foundation. Bob Dole was proposing in in the 90s. It's what Romney put in place in Massachusetts. Some of the details between what's in Massachusetts and the ACA may differ but the big rocks are the same. It's hardly the "government takeover of the health care industry" Republicans say it is.

Personally, I'd prefer some sort of public/private hybrid, but if it's either the ACA or leaving 20 million uninsured, I don't see how the way it was before was better.

 

Hey, I'm not the one who insists that the president must be celibate for the 4-8 years they're in office because they're on the taxpayer dime.

 

Have their been any successes in the Obama/Clinton foreign policy?

Clinton surely isn't running on them.

 

Mission Accomplished

 

To be fair to Baron, he'll never undersstand why what Clinton did was sexual harassment since he could never imagine himself having any amount power of power over anyone.

 

I heard one of our US Senators on the radio the other day talking about Obamacare and driving home the "repeal and replace" mantra. The host said "I've seen lots of attempts at repeal, but I have yet to see anything proposed to replace it." The Senator said he had a plan ready to introduce ... as soon as a Republican was in the White House.

 

Kind of like Nixon's "secret plan" to win the Vietnam War.

 

Trump's campaign and Ailes' attorney both deny that Ailes is advising Trump -- formally or informally.

Any other news orgs confirmed the Times report, or is this another case of a single anonymous source, speaking to one reporter?

 

Knocking Bush isn't the same as pointing out the successes of Obama-Clinton.

Are there any? If so, why isn't she running on her record as SoS?

 

4,222 American soldiers died in Iraq before Obama/Clinton took office. 282 American soldiers have died in Iraq during Obama/Clinton's term.

Thousands of American families aren't having their loved ones killed halfway across the globe. That's a success right there.
