(19,926 posts)So why are you stuck on whether or not he ran on it? And no, they're really not that different. Don't know where you get that idea. People run on things they support, they support things they run on, they mention things they support, etc... etc.. etc... You are just playing semantics now.
It's actually worse that he kept talking about it and saying it would be there when he spoke about it during his first year as POTUS and then never really trying to make sure it was there.
He brought it up many times in his first year as POTUS then never fought for it. Makes no difference at that point whether he ran on it or not.
You're missing the forest for the trees.
I've made my point, the citations are in my previous posts. I'm not going to ride the merry-go-round any more with you this time.
You have the floor.
