Trump wants to solve problems. He's no doubt bored by the conservative circle-jerk. If he goes in the direction of single payer, don't blame him, blame yourselves.
I still believe that. I think that Trump wants to solve problems and is easily bored. That's not an option for being President. In many ways, it is an essentially boring job.
I've continued to hope that after this first huge mistake and defeat, he would do a little introspection and re-visit his priorities. Instead, so far, he's thrown a hissy fit and blamed everyone else.
But this is no little bitty thing. It is maybe the thing that affects most Americans and has a devastating effect on us.
As Ted Cruz once said:
"First principle: Honor our promise. When you spend six years promising, “If only we get elected, we’ll repeal Obamacare,” you cannot renege on that promise. Failure is not an option. Breaking our word would be catastrophe. The voters would, quite rightly, never again trust Republicans to deliver on anything."
Ted was right. As Always. I'm holding off on giving up on Trump to see how he handles this after he's had a chance to get over the incredible annoyance of initial failure.
But Trump cannot fail us on this.
