he's never going to close the border
it was a stupid idea (no doubt his) and it probably took various people in his inner circle most of this week to explain to him what a fucking disaster it would be and that everyone would blame him
Same reason why he suddenly punted (again) on healthcare
He was never gonna build the wall according to you as well......
The reason he's punting on healthcare IMO is two-fold:
1) There does need to be a bridge, and a solid plan in place before complete repeal. He was wrong to think that wasn't the case from the get go.
2) He's going to beat the living fuck out of pharma companies.....especially on insulin. He can't campaign on that. Too much money from big pharma involved and too many science based and wealthy voters that work in the various fields of health which includes insurance, large hospital dr. office chains, and drug companies....that's a lot of votes to say fuck off to.
