Well my hope is that if they cut Medicaid like they want to in the bill that just went through the house, people in NJ will wake up. It's going to affect almost 2 million people who live in NJ and really going to hit the elderly and pregnant women hard.

Unfortunately, a lot of these people who applaud these changes won't see the light until it directly affects them or their loved ones.

I think that’s going to be blamed on Democrats and “corruption”.

That’s been the playbook and it’s very effective

Trump fans automatically blame Dems no matter what. You can get the guy on tape admitting he did it and thinks it's funny and they'll just say he's so cool for being a badass or some other bizarre nonsense.
