<It should also be pointed out that this bill in no way represents President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail.>
Of course it doesn't. It was obvious that Trump doesn't know anything about health care policy; that he has no real interest in it; that he and his family will always have what they need; that he does not care about anyone else. Many Republicans in Congress who were originally repelled by Trump came around to support him believing that because he doesn't believe anything, he will sign anything they send him. Trump's complete capitulation on health care -- this bill can't be reconciled with anything Trump said during the campaign and transition -- affirms their intuition that Trump has no convictions, no values, no courage and no integrity. The likelihood is that many persons who will be most harmed by the Republican assault on the poor and middle class will be Trump voters (as Elagabalus point out.) I take no pleasure in this; some of them are my friends.
