There are two stories out there that contradict his position on Obamacare. So I guess we'll have to wait and see which one is the right one. But if the one about him wanting to keep aspects of Obamacare in place are true, along with his desire to have a stimulus type spending like Barack Obama did, he's probably going to run into a lot of trouble from not only conservatives but many members in Congress. It would mean that he does buy the left's premise of government involvement in healthcare and the economy but that we should just do it smarter and better.
The reason many of us conservatives are leery of him is because he has never held office before and he seems to be all over the map on these issues and statements he makes . So were left guessing what he will really do but, as you said, we will wait-and-see
That is exactly right. Trump is shrewd. You can never know what he is up to. That is why his actions are more important than his words. He is a negotiator. So, he is used to bluffing and manipulating to get what he needs to move to the next level. I think he wants to keep Obama happy until Jan20. We don't know.
Beside all that, anything that he wants to do will be influenced by Congress anyway. So, there are many aspects of these issues that are not entirely under his control. For example assigning a special prosecutor for Hillary is not something that he can do. That is why all this speculation two months out is meaningless.
Between what he wants, and what Congress actually passes, it is impossible to know what the final outcome of all of this will be. We have to wait and see.
Many of these articles I have seen about him 'backpedaling' seem to me at least to be hit pieces intentionally trying to sow doubt in supporters. And apparently it is working.
I just don't believe that Trump will let his people down. If that happened, there would be such an uproar in the nation that it would be historic. March on Washington, flooding the phone banks, America would not tolerate a betrayal by Trump. It just wouldn't be allowed to stand.
