A great showing of civility despite differing views. This thread can learn a lot from that video.

Also, the guy on the thumbnail re-entered the country during the Bush administration.
He was previously arrested on drug charges in 1998 in Phoenix and subsequently released by sheriff Joe Arpaio, a staunch supporter of the president who was pardoned by Trump after violating a court order to stop racially profiling latinos.

Exactly! You know because racism has always been about proximity to black people!

Let's just skip ahead to the part where you tell us it isn't racist
"...and if it is racist...that is bad"

Yet you represent a party that has gone out their way to undercut a healthcare system that protected sick folks.
Weird.
So much for your adherence to that golden rule.

Your implication is that the healthcare system you are referencing is the only way to achieve that goal. It is not.
Weird.
So much for adherence to logic.

There's a number of ways to provide relatively affordable coverage for pre-existing conditions, however no Republican proposal seeks to do so. The last attempt to cripple the ACA without a replacement would have done exactly that if McCain didn't step in.

True. The GOP's bill sounds much more promising.
Trumpcare
I think the official position was “repeal what’s there, offer nothing to replace it”
The only thing that’s better than some coverage for pre-existing condition, is no coverage at all. Because immigrants

Don't you support a president that is all about name calling? So it's ok if he does the name-calling but not ok if others do it...Got it...

Here's what rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama (R) had to say about his party's ACHA bill that only failed thanks to McCain's deciding vote:
Because people who lead good lives don't get sick apparently.
It will allow insurance companies to require people who have higher health care costs to contribute more to the insurance pool that helps offset all these costs, thereby reducing the cost to those people who lead good lives. They’re healthy; they’ve done the things to keep their bodies healthy. And right now, those are the people who have done things the right way that are seeing their costs skyrocketing.

Are you unaware of the repeal and replace campaign? Is it your position that the Republican party is not interested in replacing the ACA? Are you unaware of the bipartisan support for protecting coverage for people for pre-existing coverage? Trump literally pledged to do so a few weeks ago.
Now if you just don't believe anything Republicans say, then that is one thing. But to act as if Republicans are running on the idea of ensuring people with pre-existing conditions are left without coverage is simply dishonest.

I assumed they were rhetorical because you answered them yourself. My mistake.
