Is this for what he has done, which is nothing, or for what he has undone. Specifically on birth control and abortion. Unwanted, unloved and un-cared for children is really what this country needs more of?

Trump gets hero’s welcome at Christian summit

Trump received multiple standing ovations as the first-ever sitting president to address the Values Voter Summit, a yearly gathering of social conservatives....................
The first ever sitting president. Guess not very many places he gets invited to I guess where the average IQ is in triple digits.

Back when the Obamacare was being debated on this forum, insurance companies were the enemies to many forum posters - some of whom posted in this thread - who turned premiums into profits by investing wisely and refusing to pay claims. Premiums were too high because of insurance company profiteering.

So, this thread comes as a bit of a surprise. The CSR payments - if viewed through the prism that yielded the comments back in 2010 - 2011 - should be viewed as payoffs to the insurance companies to help prop up profit margins. Now, here you folks are bemoaning the fact that those CSR payments might be curtailed.

Can someone explain the left's change of heart or change of perspective on this?

You're going to have to back up such broadbrush statements with citations, Mike. Let's see them.

There would be no tax cut for anyone without breaking Obamacare(ACA.)

Now Trump can roll out the tax cut heaven for his cronies and family. He is ready to go berserk with all the tax changes, which is all he wants to do as President.

Seriously? Your lack of memory in this case seems purposeful. However, lots of ground covered in threads like these, where insurance carriers are characterized as part of the problem because of their profit motive:

I said nothing of the sort, though the plan had elements could help start to bring costs down.

However, back then you were trying to put words in my mouth, and your lame - ass debate tactics are as flawed then as they are today.
