Donald Trump tried to sidestep giving a policy position on health care, and walked straight off of a rhetorical cliff.

During the presidential debate Tuesday night, TrumpĀ struggledĀ to answer a question about his healthcare plan, accidentally revealing that he didnā€™t have one at all.

After his particularly lackluster response criticizing Obamacare but giving no alternatives, ABC moderate Linsey Davis asked Trump outright if he knew what he was talking about. ā€œYes or no, you still do not have a plan?ā€ she said.

ā€œI have concepts of a plan,ā€ TrumpĀ replied. ā€œIā€™m not president right now.ā€

    MF was pres for 4 years and weā€™re still joking about ā€œinfrastructure weekā€.

    Moreover the entire republican party has been screeching ā€œrepeal and replaceā€ and not once put up a plan or alternative to ACA.

    They are all mentally bankrupt.

      *Morally bankrupt

      These arenā€™t the actions of idiots, theyā€™re the actions of a group playing a bunch of idiots. Might seem like a distinction without a difference, but itā€™s there.

        Exactly.

        This is all going according to some plan.

        Capitalism seeks to optimize the use of resources.

        Things are not optimized for you, they are optimized for the people that made the plan.
