President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Hopefully she dials up Lena, and gets the whole band back together.

 

Good article. Headline is clickbait.

 

Is Trump going to hire her to give him something to talk about?

 

Of all the things to deny from that article, Bannon eventually running for POTUS seems like it would be lower on the list.

 

He had a ton of access to Bannon, and wrote an interesting article.

But, of course, the only speculation that he might run in 2020, comes not from Bannon, and Bannon isn’t quoted, but from an anymous source.

And, even here, it’s only if Trump were not running, which isn’t hinted at in the clickbait headline.

In October, Bannon called an adviser and said he would consider running for president if Trump doesn’t run for re-election in 2020. Which Bannon has told people is a realistic possibility. In private conversations since leaving the White House, Bannon said Trump only has a 30 percent chance of serving out his term, whether he’s impeached or removed by the Cabinet invoking the 25th amendment. That prospect seemed to become more likely in early December when special counsel Robert Mueller secured a plea deal from former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

 

This tax bill kills the personal mandate in the ACA. It was the least popular part of the law, and the part that helped pay for it. The rest is still there - the government subsidies to help pay for your insurance, pre-existing coverage, coverage of your children up to the age of twenty-six. Those are all the most popular parts of Obamacare. I don't think that the Republicans can (or dare) to try to kill them all off now.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that mean that all the Republicans have done is managed to leave the program in place while diminishing the funding for it, as well as owning the loss of health care as an issue due to their actions?

 

As it’s now a world in which planning to tax yet-to-be-earned income at a lower rate is considered “looting,” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that someone no longer buying, because he/she is no longer forced to buy, a given product would consider that to be “losing” that product.

 

Why clip the paragraph there and not include the last line?

Bannon has also remarked on the toll the office has taken on Trump, telling advisers his former boss has “lost a step.” “He’s like an 11-year-old child,” Bannon joked to a friend in November.

 

You are so fucking dense. Learn how to spell "border," Hypoxia, before you try to school so much as a pigeon on international affairs.

 

I am speaking of the people who will give up on coverage that they can no longer afford because the healthy part of the insurance pool goes away, causing rates to rise, or who no longer have an insurance carrier available.

 

If he were such a badass and so proficient, wouldn't he be able to convince more than 5.2% of all members and more than 6.6% of voting members to go along with him? Wouldn't he have been able to coax a few more allies?
