It's a good ploy. He won't lose the Republican old fart vote, and most people I meet under 50 don't believe Medicare or SS will be around by the time they become eligible.

Most old farts are Republicans with the "I've got mine, fuck you" attitude. Me, on the other hand, I don't go for the "Don't worry gramps, we won't take away your Medicare, we just want to fuck it up for your kids and grandkids." |

This is why the radical right should never be allowed into the White House again. Make no mistake, the so-called moderates like Bush and Kasich are deeply conservative and radically so.

It's astounding to me that GOP/right wing is ready to point problems and scrap social programs but never once offer an alternative other than 'we will come up with something'. First it was with Obamacare, now Medicare. And they consistently get away with it.

Since when is getting rid of Medicare a popular idea anyway? I mean who is actually for that? I think it is the influence of people behind the superpacs making sure their candidate pays lip service to some harebrained idea so as to continue receiving financial backing from the pac. Only Adelson or the Kochs would be behind ditching Medicare.

The populist sentiment blooming across the land has these plutocrats shaking in their boots. Hell, even the damn Repubs are paying lip service.
It's way past time for the Repubs to go back to their roots ala Teddy Roosevelt and Eisenhower. They used to be for a fair shake for the public good. |
