Likelihood: Trump loses in 2020, accepts the vote as legit, and cleanly transfers power?

No, I'm just smarter than you. And that's not even relevant, as I don't need to be smarter than you to cite to basic facts.

But, if it helps quell your delusions, I did a quick search and found these two threads, which cites back to our original conversation on the matter, including the one where JVS intervened. I cannot find the original one.



In the second one, as always, you just stopped debating the issue instead of admitting you were/are blatantly wrong and uninformed. You did, however, admit that the ACA was funded on the back of the rich to the benefit of the poor and middle class and then dodged when asked how, then, its repeal would benefit the middle class to the detriment of the rich.

Also, you did the same thing on trade deals: demonstrated a superficial and insufficient knowledge of them, made obtuse statements based on that knowledge, and then cried like a bitch when pressed to expound.

So you linked me to the last time you threatened to link me to a previous thread where you apparently destroyed me? What had my point about the burden to the middle class been? That the actual Middle Class gets to pay far more money for far less coverage. So the insurance companies make money on both ends of the deal, while the middle class losses out. Your ability to consistently refuse to address that is frankly impressive. But hey, if that's what you need to do to convince yourself you're smarter than I am, just rock on with that. There were at least 20 new taxes that came about due to Obamacare. Almost half of them affected householsa making less than 250k a year. But you and @Jack V Savage still seem to think we're talking simply about the tax rate for the middle class. That's unbelievably dense and narrow sighted for self described supreme intellectuals like yourselves....

I think it is more likely that Trump flees the country or resigns in disgrace before he has an opportunity to run. But if he does lose a subsequent election, I pray to god he makes a federal issue of it. Then maybe we can finally get loyalty oaths from the Trump loyalists so that the country can be certain of their allegiance to the Constitution. ...of the USA, not Russia.

Again, you're a fucking moron.

A large component of the ACA was raising the floor on coverage standards (and a huge part of the AHCA was removing those floors), price growth was substantially slowed, and the cost of additional subsidies was funded by taxes on the top income earners.

So you cannot support your statement that "the actual Middle Class gets to pay far more money for far less coverage."

There is ample evidence to the contrary, some of which is included in my previous post that I cited to, so I welcome you to provide support for your argument. But you can't, because it's a nonsensical argument and you're a stupid piece of shit.

Wrong. Again. Like always. You idiots cannot even keep your argument straight between "ACA is a failure because insurance providers are dropping out!" to "ACA is a failure because it helps the insurance providers get more money!"

The upward track of health insurance stocks has been held quasi-consistent on the back of fairly elastic profit floors, yes, but maintaining that floor (absent the public option thanks to the GOP dick bags that morons like you voted in) has verifiably held middle-income plans constant through subsidization of taxes on top earners.

There is literally no evidence that profit growth has accelerated, nevertheless that it has done so to the expense of the middle class.

No, we're talking about price growth and coverage comprehensiveness, as you have accurately re-injected into the conversation.

In light of all three considerations, you are wrong, as always.

Also, you know JVS has you on his ignore list and has stated such itt, so you can stop tagging him and pretending that he's dodging you.

As I've asked you before, one of the many things you've never answered, you don't actually have employee provided insurance, do you? Or if you do, aren't old enough to have has it prior to the ACA. Your refusal to answer is smart enough. Only someone whose entire experience with the ACA I'd reading articles from Liberals news sources can say the things you say. Because at this point you're the only ones they can get to believe that. The fact that you want me to post some sort of link to information about how premiums have consistently risen while the quality of coverage has fallen is all the proof that's needed. Simply outside and ask someone with employee provided insurance. Jesus. Stop attempting to attribute your naivety and lack of life experience to some sort of stupidity on my part. By the way, did you have anything to say about this being a Republican plan, or where you just going to continue to dodge that the way you did the Sub Prime Mortgage Crisis?

Because the insurance companies are being "forced" to take on all these new preexisting condition coverages, they continue to raise, this year tripling, premiums for people without preexisting conditions, which by the way is literally everyone in country who had insurance before, while actual coverage for those people continues to get worse. That's how their making money while technically losing money on the Obama care plans their providing, and that's how the burden is passed on to the middle class. That 6 billion dollars they made? That's totally from Medicaid and stuff. That resulted in a 30 percent profit increase in a single year.

1.) Anytime someone like you continuously just says "you're dumb" instead of just making argument, it it reaffirms my position. But as we've established you're a complete ideologue. And if you actually read my posts you'd know I tag @Jack V Savage because he only likes to pretend I'm on his ignore list. He'll fuck up from time to time and quote me while I'm "ignored". So we can add not actually reading to your list of offenses.
 
I know who they are I just didn't understand your response to my post.

You obviously don't know or understand who they are as people, that was my point. Those guys aren't loyal to Trump for any reason other than because he's the President, the same way they were to Obama. They'd served in these exact same positions in the exact same way if Hillary had won and had asked it of them. That was my point and what you didn't understand.
 
As I've asked you before, one of the many things you've never answered, you don't actually have employee provided insurance, do you?

Yes, my health insurance is provided by my firm.

If you had asked that before, I'd have happily answered it. I had insurance through the ACA on my own for my final year of school.

Or if you do, aren't old enough to have has it prior to the ACA. Your refusal to answer is smart enough.

Did you have a stroke, or is your normal level of idiocy just sundowning into legal incompetence level?

Only someone whose entire experience with the ACA I'd reading articles from Liberals news sources can say the things you say.

See above. I've received health insurance directly through healthcare.gov or whatever the site is.

Because at this point you're the only ones they can get to believe that. The fact that you want me to post some sort of link to information about how premiums have consistently risen while the quality of coverage has fallen is all the proof that's needed.

I don' t care how long you insist that your reality is different than everyone else's and that somehow the universal statistical truth that price growth slowed under the ACA while plan quality was shored up is fake news.

The ACA slowed price growth. Period. And funded subsidies for additional recipients on the back of a tax increase on the rich. Period.

You can keep deflecting and using the whole "real world experience" fallacy instead of providing any actual evidence that what you say exist exists. That's fine. Frankly, I admire the fact that you can warp the fact that you're a career failure and are struggling to pay for health insurance into some kind of argumentative feather in your cap, but it's not going to do anything to further your argument that the ACA increased prices on the average middle class person, nor that it reduced plan quality.

Where's the healthcare coverage for all Americans at a fraction of the cost of the ACA?

Trump promised that within 30 days of election bc it would be easy to do.

If "you can keep your doctor" is considered a lie for the ages, what the fuck does that make that ejaculation poring out of Trump's trap? Anyone?

Considering Trump and Cruz both worked feverishly to sabotage the funding of the ACA to shut down markets, raise premiums and harbor uncertainty about the program, it's no wonder there are problems.

Jesus christ, the ACA is a market-based right wing health coverage plans and these fucking dopes on the Right oppose it. They oppose their own magnum opus. That's what you get when a right wing black president legislates.

Why if we could just open up interstate competition btn the 5 big insurance companies, premiums will come down.....hahahahah republican shitbags never learn.
 
I would place it at 500-1 odds...

Not because I believe Trump will peacefully and graciously accept defeat...

But rather, the democrats don't have any viable candidate on the horizon..
Who do they have? Warren? Sanders??

And if Hillary runs again, that's a guarantee victory for Trump

booker.630.jpg


-He's establishment af but the MSM demonized Trump badly enough for the far left to rally behind him as much as the moderate right rallied behind Trump because of disdain for Hillary.

-Combination of his background and African-American disapproval of Trump will help him get Obama numbers in African American districts.
 
I'm just spitballing here....

What would happen if President Trump says something to the effect of "We can't ensure that the 2020 election is viable (not tampered with), so it must be postponed until it can."

I didn’t say they would help a transition though, so your point about my misunderstanding is wrong. I am only talking about Trump.
 
I hope he pulls a Hillary and comes out with excuses to tarnish the legitimacy of the election and then claim to be leading the resistance. The Dems need a taste of their own medicine.

Yup. The Traitor proposes preserving the sanctity of American elections and that can't be done during an election cycle. So we'll just defer for a while until it's. . .safer.

And all the little brownshirts will fall in line reciting how Trump is saving American . . . again. (Like he did when he sold out to the Russkies to sabotage the US presidential election in 17).

Holy whatever god you believe in.

Serious question, do you honestly believe that Russia somehow 'tampered' with the election and 'made' Trump win?
 
Yes, my health insurance is provided by my firm.

If you had asked that before, I'd have happily answered it. I had insurance through the ACA on my own for my final year of school.

So the long way around answering my question was "no, I didn't have employer provided insurance prior you Obamacare". Direct answers to directly asked questions will make this a lot easier. So you have no concept of what insurance was like prior to Obamacare. Premiums were incredibly low across the board, and coverages were incredibly high. My insurance in 2009 was 80% out of network, 100% in network. That same plan today is 60% in network, 40% out of network, and my premiums have tripled, as have the rest of the Middle Class'. You can attempt to ignore that all you want, it doesn't change that fact. So what does that mean? It means what I've said from day one. The insurance companies win. They make money on both ends of the deal. They make money on the front end, by forcing me to pay a higher premium, and they make money on the back end, in the event that I actually do get sick or injured, I now have to pay for a larger chunk of my bill and they don't have to pay out nearly as much as they otherwise would have. Now average that out over hundreds of millions of people, and you have billions of profits. Please, please try to tell me that the 2 million some people that now have insurance because of Obamacare and are making the insurance companies take those few individual plans at a loss are somehow offsetting that and are actually bad for the insurance company's bottom lines so I can continue laughing at you.



I don' t care how long you insist that your reality is different than everyone else's and that somehow the universal statistical truth that price growth slowed under the ACA while plan quality was shored up is fake news.

The ACA slowed price growth. Period. And funded subsidies for additional recipients on the back of a tax increase on the rich. Period.

See above. It's the reality for most of Middle Class America. It's not your reality, because the previous reality was never yours to begin with. You're the one not living in reality. Simply talk to someone who had employee provided health insurance prior to Obamacare with no pre-existing health conditions, that's all you need to do. Nobody's health insurance got better. Nobody's premiums went down. Nobody. And we're talking about hundreds of millions of people. Your ignorance of that, or at this point just flat out refusal to admit it, doesn't make me wrong.

Secondly, I make 80k a year. Just me, not counting my wife's income. I see I've magically gone from stupid to poor now as well. The fact that you can't actually argue points and can only attempt lame insults like "You can't afford to pay for health insurance" is as pathetic as it is funny.







Oh, so it was actually my fault that you posted a 3 year old article? you're a riot.... P.S. Your article is from the beginning of this year. Since then Health insurance companies have made 6 billion dollars. Keep ignoring that and plugging away with your ideological talking points, that's all you've got at this point. You don't have facts.





What ideology would that be?

What fucking socialist liked creating a profit floor and effectuating a captive market oligopoly where inflated prices continue to cause people's suffering to maintain the existence of exorbitant and useless profits?


Just because I live in a world where data/basic reality extends to my normative opinions doesn't mean I support this shitty system.

Just LOL @ finding anyone who is an Affordable Care Act ideologue. Really, more than anything, that speaks to how morons like you don't know what the word "ideologue" actually means.

OK, I'm going to put this in big, bold letters so you're sure not to skip over it. This is a Republican Plan. It was designed by Republicans and initially put into practice in Massachusetts. The Obama administration saw this as a way to compromise with Republicans on healtcare and possibly get some sort of legislation passed. It isn't their ideal plan. Republicans have argued so aggressively agianst it for so long because arguing against anything that Obama did was just thier position on everything. So what you're actually doing here is stumping for a Republican plan, and what are Republican plans always designed to do? Make money. Never help people. But you can't see that, because it has the name "Obama" attached to it, so it HAS to be the greatest shit ever. THat's why I've told you a number of times to do some real objective examination, (which you haven't, because like.... Obama, bro...) and why you're getting called an ideologue. Your party did it, there for it' s awesome, free of examination.


Hey, shit for brains, read the first two paragraphs of that article and realize it is directly contradicting your intended point.

God, how the fuck have you survived this long being so fucking incompetent?


Hey, shit for brains, maybe actually read my entire posts, that way you won't look stupid when you post things like this. From just below my citation of the article you're referencing:

Because the insurance companies are being "forced" to take on all these new preexisting condition coverages, they continue to raise, this year tripling, premiums for people without preexisting conditions, which by the way is literally everyone in country who had insurance before, while actual coverage for those people continues to get worse. That's how their making money while technically losing money on the Obama care plans their providing, and that's how the burden is passed on to the middle class. That 6 billion dollars they made? That's totally from Medicaid and stuff. That resulted in a 30 percent profit increase in a single year.

Learn to read. Once again, your failures at understanding over the year long course of this conversation aren't mine. Their yours. Eventually you may come to understand that.



Cite.

Cite that the average premium for enrollees without preexisting conditions was tripled this year.

I'll wait.

First of all, I never said it tripled over the span of a single year. The absolute irony of this post is incredible. Just to put it into context, this is what your above comment was in reply to:

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/health-care-premiums-rising-obamacare/story?id=43047190

Because the insurance companies are being "forced" to take on all these new preexisting condition coverages, they continue to raise, this year tripling, premiums for people without preexisting conditions, which by the way is literally everyone in country who had insurance before, while actual coverage for those people continues to get worse.

That's totally from Medicaid and stuff. That resulted in a 30 percent profit increase in a single year.


From the article linked above, which you included in your quote, then demanded I provide proof of the highlighted:

Insurers are set to raise the premiums for plans sold through HealthCare.gov by an average of 22 percent in 2017, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said in a report. This is approximately triple the percentage increase from 2015 to 2016, when premiums increased by 7.5 percent.

But apparently ABC news, much less the Department of Health and Human Services aren't good enough sources for you.

We'll just through this one in for the heck of it. Prices continue to go up, while coverage rates continue to do what? GO DOWN. That's how the insurance companies, once again, make 6 billion in profits. They make more on premiums and pay out less in claims. That's just simple math for anyone who isn't a blind ideolouge. If you take in less than you put out, your profits go up. Why that needs explaining is beyond me.


Boy, you sure are winner.

Thanks dude. It's about time that you got around to realizing you're getting destroyed in this conversation, and always have been.
