Welp! Here he goes again...

Just wondering how his base is going to handle Trump's new attempt to implement huge cutbacks on Medicaid and Medicare.

You gotta wonder how his base is going to handle this... Perhaps by moving up their adoration for their leader.. Like!!! "he's doing this to protect us from the devil and the Dems. Absolute insanity.

HOPING for very good, talented Dem spokespeople.

Say did you believe him when he said this, well, look what he's saying now and show the numerous times he's promised to look at cutting SS, Medicare and Medicaid. The most recent argument I saw from him was that seniors are making so much money under him, SS and Medicare probably aren't needed at the level we're now doing and can be cut and no one would miss it. Really!! Show that as well, that drumpf thinks they don't need it because rich people are making so much more $$ under his tax cuts for the wealthy, and he not only doesn't care about working class people but never even considers them in his plans to benefit himself and the rich. Point out his reverse populism - give to the rich then claw some of the money back from the working class.

I don't know if we stand a chance, but do know if we don't give it everything, we are toast.
