President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Feel the Bern!

Maybe we can get a rematch of Hillary vs. Bernie for the Democratic nomination in 2020.

 

You (and the headline writer) should probably try to avoid occupations that require interpreting numbers. The uninsured population growing to 32 million is not the same as an increase of 32 million.

I can't wait until the second or third time that there's a crisis, the White House decides what the talking points are, Mooch deploys the troops who go out to spread the word, and then Trump blows the whole thing up with 5 a.m. tweets from his crapper. This is another New York billionaire, he's not going to put up with being treated the way that Trump treated Spicer, not in the long term. If he keeps busting his ass to do his job only to see the work flushed by Trump's blunders he's going to react badly.

 

What!?! You mean all 330 million people in this country are not currently insured?
