To try to create a supposed difference between pre-election and post-election rhetoric simply illustrates how little you listened to Trump's proposal prior to the election. Instead, you relied on twisted and perverted summations of what the MSM thought would upset you.
You been had.
Right. Because who needs to think about whether politicians keep their promises after they get elected. That's just crazy talk!
You know, I have sat here and watched you and other liberals rant and rave without providing a single example, or basis for your whining. Frankly, it's childish and boring. So, now we'll challenge you.
I challenge you to show a single example - SINGLE EXAMPLE - where Trump's statements/actions since the election have not been in accordance with campaign claims. I don't want to hear about what you think you heard, or where the MSM claimed he said something. Give us something concrete. Show me a single example where he has gone back on his proposed policy.
It's simple --- put up or shut up.
Well, there's the whole "repeal Obamacare" promise, which now is turning into "we'll just scale it back a bit and see what happens."
See? The prime example of being duped by the Democrat propaganda machine.
Trump has consistently said, as early as last February, that there were elements of ACA that made sense and would be carried forward. He specifically mentioned the "pre-existing conditions" area and the "children at home until 26" area. Repealing the ACA and incorporating some of its characteristics into a new healthcare approach has been a staple of his proposals from the beginning.
But, because it was "inconvenient" to detail Trump's approach, the Dem propaganda machine tried to portray his approach as a "slash and burn" exercise, when nothing was further from the truth. So, they told you he was going to repeal Obamacare (he is), but failed to tell you that some elements would be incorporated into his new proposal. You've been duped.
Next time, do your research.
What's your next SINGLE EXAMPLE?
Well you do have a point that his campaign promises themselves were often inconsistent, contradictory, and all over the place. That doesn't help his case any, though.
Inconsistency of message isn't the problem ... the problem was the biased press coverage, and the Dem propaganda machine failing to give voters ALL the information.
The first time Trump said he was going to keep the "good parts" of Obamacare, and repeal the rest, was in February 2016. However, because this didn't fit the liberal agenda, the statement was twisted, and now, he supposedly is changing his approach. In fact, he isn't.
However, let's be clear --- evolving policy positions, based on new information, would seem to me to be a logical approach, and hardly unique to Trump. As we've seen with the "withdrawal" of troops from Iraq, times change, things change, and conditions change.
