McConnell, Cornyn, Thune, etal. crowd around their leader, nodding at all he says, nodding forcefully at the strongest untruths.

The Republican Party will become the party of health care, Trump says, showing no sign that he disbelieves his own invention.

As he always does, Trump makes his declaration convinced that everyone will think he is telling the truth. It took until the end of his inaugural address to understand that he says only what is expedient and that he neither knows nor believes anything.

So, the Republican Party will become the party of health care. They will promote health services based on their notion of Christian sharia, priced to ensure Big Pharma prospers, HMO's prosper, and HCA and other hospital conglomerates prosper. Sales of luxury cars and yachts shall not falter as a primary policy point of part of Republican health care. Coverage will be limited to the healthy, and pre-existing conditions will be designated as socialist.

Yes, Republicans will become the party of their own health care. They welcome Trump as their spokesman and accept their position as his progeny.
