MODERATORS
Trump on his healthcare plan: "Obamacare was lousy healthcare and always was and if we come up with something, and we are, we will replace it. I inherited Obamacare because Democrats wouldn't vote to change it. If they did, we'd have a better plan than Obamacare. I had a choice as president whether or not to let it rot and I decided to tell my top people- I had very good people- some bad ones. They don't get rid of their bad ones. I had a choice to make: do I save it and make it as good as it can be or let it rot? And I saved it and it was the right thing and it will never be great and it is too expensive. We are looking into other plans. If we can come up with a better plan, we would replace Obamacare."
Moderator: "Do you have a plan?"
Trump: "I have concepts of a plan. I'm not president right now. If it's cheaper, I'll do it. We have options. You'll be hearing about it soon."
"The dog ate my homework and then one of THOSE PEOPLE ate the dog."
No, no, the immigrants are eating the dogs, didn't you know? He saw it on TV
Is that why dogs taste like trigonometry?
It's been a few years since he promised to show his plan in "two weeks."
Right after infrastructure week.
He literally said "I have concepts of a plan."
Trump after Harris once again giving a rebuttal full of policy points: "She made a mistake. John McCain fought Obamacare but it wasn't just him. All the Democrats kept it going. We can do much better. Much less money. She won't improve private insurance for people. People work hard. She wants everyone to be on government insurance where you wait six months for an operation."
"my plan goes to a different high school, you wouldn't know her."
my plan lives in Canada.
