    Right. Because "grab em by the pussy" is soooo professional. Get over your hatred of Ted Cruz and your butt kissing of Trump. Trump didn't just attack Amash. Trump attacked the entire freedom caucus.

    I don't know whether Trump just doesn't have the right clue or he is messing around either to stall or completely avoid having to do the right things.

    What part of REPEAL does he not understand or like?

    If basic medical care were returned to affordability, people would not need "insurance", which isn't insurance at all, but rather the socialization of costs.

    No, that's the interesting part. Donald is getting cucked by his own book.

    Didn't you used to support liberty? When did the statists buy you out? Amazing you keep popping up insulting real Liberty warriors, shilling for your boy who would have so quickly sold us down the river on healthcare if it wasn't for Rand and Justin cucking him like the little bitch he is. He is never going to build your wall, or keep any of the other promises you sold your soul to the devil for, very sad.

    Why would Trump be embarrassed by taking Rand's advice? Trump said before all this started that he liked Rand's healthcare plan. But he decided to go with Ryan. Now, maybe, he's willing to go with Rand's plan. Trump is not an ideologue. He likes to win. Ryan lost. Trump is already embarrassed. If Rand can deliver the goods (a win), then Trump will be happy.

    It's interesting how quiet the Trumpsters got during the Trump/Freedom Caucus spat. Now that the Freedom Caucus has won they want to go back to taking pot shots at anyone who doesn't bow and scrape to Trump. I kind of expected that, but I didn't expect the attacks from people who used to be staunchly pro liberty against someone like Justin Amash. Sad really.

    Amash seems to be more popular in his district than Trump; Amash won 59% of his district while Trump only won 52% of MI-3. Trump is more popular in Kentucky than Rand though (63% vs. 57%).

    Fine. I did specify BASIC care. If it is affordable, people don't need socialized commercial programs.

    If you feel you want/need extra, just in case, then you are free to acquire it if you can manage. If not. tough $#@!. Life guarantees nothing.

    Yup. Makes no sense whatsoever. It's like yelling "you're a poopy-face" at someone and running away.

    This reminds me of a post I saw recently, whether here or elsewhere I cannot recall, that painted Trump as guilty of being one of Themme because he is photo'd in the presence of the Clintons. It is an absurd suggestion that he is blowing Hillary and bending over for Bill because they attend the same social event. Even more absurd are the claims that because they are shaking hands or smiling that Trump is in bed with Satan and her husband. What would they suggest Trump do, curse them out and take out a knife? Hole up in his mansion and never be seen in public?

    This special brand of stupidity tends to chap.

    This whole healthcare deal is pretty much playing out as I expected. The lobbyists took it on the chin in round one, and now major concessions to the pro-Freedom caucus will be made before the bill passes. Paul Ryan is basically the guy on the fence.

    I think you are absolutely correct. For Trump its all about winning. He only cares about bragging and holding the trophy. Using that as a focal point for everything he did or will do makes sense. I am still hopeful Rand can pull this off with Obamacare. It would show he can get things done, where other couldn't. This could be Rand's big moment to make a difference.

    Back in 2012 I predicted this would go down exactly as it has. It is a little bit creepy how accurate I was.
    1. Don't lie.
    2. Don't cheat.
    3. Don't steal.
    4. Don't kill.
    5. Don't commit adultery.
    6. Don't covet what your neighbor has, especially his wife.
    7. Honor your father and mother.
    8. Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.
    9. Don’t use your Higher Power's name in vain, or anyone else's.
    10. Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

    He's going to try to get Trump's support for some smaller measure, apart from the main repeal/replace issue, IMO.

    Rand's not concerned about reelection.

    a. He's probably not going to run again.

    You mean, we are seventy days into his presidency and he hasn't solved world hunger and ended all wars? There is still corruption in government and the lines at the DMV aren't already shorter?

    What a failure!

    Forget about the fact that he discusses with Ron Paul's son matters of state, let's humiliate him for not having solved all the problems. He hasn't even cured cancer yet.

    Rand Paul had 'great time' golfing with Trump, 'getting closer' on healthcare
    By Paulina Firozi - 04/02/17

    Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) tweeted that he had a productive meeting with President Trump, after the senator traveled with the president to his golf club in Virginia on Sunday.

    "I had a great time today with @realDonaldTrump," Paul tweeted, "and believe we are getting closer to an agreement on health care!"

    I had a great time today with @realDonaldTrump and believe we are getting closer to an agreement on health care!
    — Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) April 2, 2017

    Paul was spotted with Trump Sunday morning on the way to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Va., for a round of golf, during which the White House said the pair, along with White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney, would discuss a "variety of topics," including healthcare.

    “We had a great day with the president," Paul told the White House press pool upon returning to the White House Sunday afternoon. "Played some golf, and we talked and we talked about a little bit of healthcare. I continue to be very optimistic that we are getting closer and closer to an agreement on repealing ObamaCare."

    The president tweeted earlier Sunday that "talks on Repealing and Replacing ObamaCare are, and have been, going on."

    Talks on Repealing and Replacing ObamaCare are, and have been, going on, and will continue until such time as a deal is hopefully struck.
    — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 2, 2017

    The Kentucky Republican clashed with the president over the Republicans' initial plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare, which Republican leaders ultimately pulled in defeat before there was a vote. Paul was among the lawmakers adamant that the bill would not have enough support in the House or the Senate.

    This. Rand said from the beginning that the real negotiation would start after we defeat Tryancare, and now that we did, we have leverage and Trump knows he must come to us. That is also why he threatened freedom caucus (as a bargaining tactic).

    A horrible and impotent bargaining tactic. No, actually, I think having this fail and then acting all upset about it and mad at those who caused it to fail is great theater for:

    Making himself look weak and incompetent.

    Which, seriously, he needed. Previous to this, the leftist viewpoint was that Mr. Trump was "literally Hitler." Big, scary, and dictatorial. All that is gone now. Now it's all about how he's incompetent and bumbling. Big step forward. Win for Trump.

    Good observation.

    Anybody who saw Amash's Town Hall thread a couple months ago should be totally fine with him taking strong opposition to Trump (where appropriate, which can be subjective, but in general he is doing the right thing).
