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, Trump struggled to answer a question about his healthcare plan, accidentally revealing that he didn’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. “Yes or no, you still do not have a plan?” she said.

I have concepts of a plan,” Trump replied. “I’m not president right now.”

    He’s been doing this since the beginning. Anyone who has been around a 12 year old should be able to see this.

    Go back to when he was asked about his favorite book/part/quote from the Bible. He sounds like a middle schooler who is trying to dance around how he didn’t read anything for the book report.

    The ability of half the country to willfully not see this (or just ignore it 'cuz librals are the devil!) astounds me.

      The problem is that people keep not calling him out, partly because he always flips the board and walks out whenever you do.

      It should be so goddamn easy to reveal every single one of his lies as outright lies (oh, world leaders called you and told you that Kamala sucks? Who? Who specifically did that?) But his superpower has been being able to avoid that. Plus being enabled by his mouthhreathing base who doesn’t give a shit if anything he says is true, and by all his fellow powermongers that enable this shit.

      That Sodom sure was a great guy, Gamorah too, both very fine people, they’ve been my friends for 40, 50, 60 or maybe 70 years even. And you ask them, they’ll tell anybody, that I’ve done more for them than anyone else in human history.
