Are you trying to type words on my keyboard for me? Go ahead and disagree, that's fine. But to simply interpret my post in a way that mocks me, is borderline dishonest...

What kind of shit is that?

He'll convince congress not to take money!

If you believe that, you're stupid. No other way about it.

OK, but how would he accomplish it, specifically? How would he use the leverage of the presidency to end the influence of lobbyists and special interest groups for example?

Assuming you're referring to Mr Sanders; With the loud, insistent and unending support of We the People. Yes, it sounds like a long shot to me too, but what other options are there?

No one is going to get congress to stop taking money. You have to reduce their power and the money will diminish proportionately.

I have not listened to Beck since.... I cant remember.

I watched a video where trump was saying that he was going to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a single payer system that would be cheaper. Straight out of his mouth. Do you have a problem with direct evidence?

Sanders has that, Trump absolutely does not

How do you reduce their power?

Replace Obamacare with a single payer system? All I've heard from Trump is that everybody needs to be covered, and we can't leave people dieing in the streets.

"For the most part it’s going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything." -Trump

And you people say Sanders promises everything. That quote is ridiculous. He's basically saying "I'll give you everything you all want! Just vote for me!" Zero specifics, no information on how it'll be accomplished or how much it'll cost. Nothing.

What is your point? I told you what I watched and you want to tell me it isnt the same thing you watched? Thanks.

You rewrite the tax code to something simple and eliminate all subsidies and loopholes. Everyone pays the same flat fee.

That takes power out of the hands of politicians.

The point was obvious. Trump doesn't support a single payer health care system. You and Glenn can claim he does all you want, but it's not true...

Padawanbater2 · Feb 11, 2016

Breitbart says he supports single payer

RCP quotes him as saying

"I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on health. It is an unacceptable but accurate fact that the number of uninsured Americans has risen to 42 million. Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have universal healthcare." -Donald Trump

Politicians do not take money from special interest groups because the tax codes are too complicated or because of subsidies and loopholes. They take money because it gets them reelected because it buys political influence

How do you explain his quote? Post 52

Not GOP · Feb 11, 2016

Universal health care is not a single payer system. I believe, as Trump does, that a different system needs to be in place for people who can't afford the treatment they need to stay alive. When we stop free care for illegals, there will be more money to help our own

Normally when oil prices drop, we see a boost in economic activity because its cheaper to do business. With Obama's tax policies we see the stock market crashing, and people lined up to buy gold. Imagine how bad it would be with Bernie. Instead of more money in your pocket, you will see income taxed to provide overpriced services from the government

has nothing to do with tax policy, which you clearly don't know and is set by congress.

why are all northern european countries ranked ahead of the u.s. in nearly every category that matters to people? none are clamoring for u.s style democracy nor health care. they're also not bitching about the cost of the programs.

just another misdirection from the party that can't point to one program or policy that has worked

Single payer= universal healthcare, ya dumb bastard.

Only from a communist perspective. I can see why some might think that, but there is a very fine line between the two.
