Even tho Im anti Trump in general if I was republican I would vote for him 100%. With every debate Cruz and Rubio show how much of a scumbag you have to be to be a career politician. All they do is spew the same tired points, Rubio has Obama's nuts in his mouth with every answer and Cruz is basically human trash. This tool claims to be a Christian but would gladly let people die in the streets to prove a point on how conservative he is. His pathetic desperation is humorous at this point. At least Trump has brought some much needed entertainment to the election season.
christie just came out to endorse trump.
wonder if he's hoping it'll backfire?
Let's pretend healthcare is a right, such as the right to bear arms.
Let's pretend guns were not prevalent in the world, ie there aren't enough for everyone who wants one. It's still your right to own one, even if you can't find one to buy. You could make one following any regulations set around firearms, but this right does not afford me to force my neighbor Jimmy to make a gun for me.
Now move that argument over to healthcare. Healthcare is a service to keep you alive. Just like guns, there may be less healthcare services available than is needed. You would have the right to use healthcare if you wish, but it is not your right to force someone specifically to give you healthcare.
The point is the right is something that the government can't take away from you, it is not that the government must provide you those things.
At least that's how I view the rights afforded us.
If you want to argue that the government should provide us the things protected in our "rights", then the government should also give us all a gun. Don't confuse the services/programs the government funds/runs with our tax dollars as that of our basic human rights.

Trump having the balls to call another man a liar at the same event where he makes the absolutely ludicrous claim that Americans are the highest taxed in the world is one of those knuckle-biting, eye twitching moments. The only reason every man on that stage didn't jump on him and nail him to the wall over such complete insanity is that to do so, they would have to acknowledge that the entire Republican platform's position on taxes is invalid.
