At a New Hampshire conservative summit Saturday, Donald Trump let his truther colors fly — this time directing his skepticism at Obamacare enrollment numbers.

I wonder if the people in the audience already have health insurance. Who doesn’t want to have health insurance? I don’t get the resistance. Buy a policy already so I don’t have to pay for your ER care that won’t be enough for you.
Obviously there have always been people who basically can’t buy and then others who are just irresponsible and scofflaws of a sort. But presumably there wasn’t a big overlap between that latter group and people who are now ideologically somehow opposed to having health insurance because of Obamacare.
I think the headline on the main page concerning The Donald could have just as easily read “DUH” and said nothing else.
Trump is just playing to the tin foil hat brigade and looking to stroke his enormous ego by getting some air time.
My comment is my way of trolling the right I suppose. Presumably, Medicaid expansion and subsidies were supposed to be the solutions for folks who couldn’t afford it. I’m having trouble getting my head around the level of bubble think and resistance that persists on the right although recent polling may be a sign that the fever is starting to break with respect to the policy. The President continues to have his crazy critics though.
“ideologically somehow”
"Somehow’ is right but more inchoate bleats from another dissolute rich boy only intensifies the circular firing squad of winger noise.
