Dore, on Trump outlefting the left

Some of this i agree with, some of it I dont, some of it I dunno. But the thing that peaked my interest, was Dore saying “Trump is out-lefting the left, by flirting with the idea of pushing medicare for all” Or somethin like that.

I have not heard Trump might be leaning toward MFA. Wouldnt ‘that’ be fucking interesting. How surreal would ‘that’ be.

WV, I think Dore has lost his freakin’ mind. He honestly doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

No, Trump isn’t proposing anything remotely like M4A. Quite the opposite, in fact. In each of the budgets he’s submitted to Congress, including the most recent, he slashed spending on Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps and every other part of the social safety net. He’s attacked all of that to try to offset his massive tax cuts for the rich and corporate America. And one of the first things he did as president, which is ongoing, was to sic his DoJ on the ACA in court, to kill it off. If Trump is successful, millions of Americans will lose their Medicaid. If he and the GOP get their way, our health care system will be entirely “market based.”

“Out-lefting the left”? As the young kids used to say, Dore’s on crack.

It’s also a major mistake to take any tweet from Trump and use it as a premise for part of his show. No, Sanders didn’t lose because of Warren. Sanders lost primarily because James Clyburn endorsed Biden in South Carolina and all the moderate candidates dropped out before Super Tuesday. Yeah, it seems damn likely that this was coordinated from the top. But Trump’s tweet was just trolling the Dems and Sanders’ supporters, and it’s nonsense.

The more I see from Dore, the more I wonder if he isn’t a Republican in sheep’s clothing to begin with.
