The First Broken Promise

During the campaign, Mr. Trump said that he would "repeal and replace" Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act).  He said it very emphatically.  He said it many times.

After meeting with President Obama for about 90 minutes, he said he was amenable to "amending" Obamacare.

Wait!  Isn't that exactly what Secretary Clinton said?  Didn't she say that we ought to keep what's working with Obamacare and improve what isn't?

And it only took meeting with the President for 90 minutes for Mr. Trump to change his mind?

Things have been moving so fast since the election that this almost seems untimely to say, but I will say it anyway:  the first broken promise.

Or, is it?  Just because he said it, doesn't mean he'll do it.  We don't know much about Mr. Trump, but we do know he lies.

America, you have been conned.
