    By concepts of a plan, he probably means Project 2025, the plan that his “strategists” have drawn up to install him as a fascist autocrat if people are stupid enough to actually vote for him. It is hardly surprising that he does not want to comment publicly on the details of this deeply anti-democratic endeavor.

      Worse the goal is to get him elected then he will be removed for having dementia and JD Vance will run with Project 2025.

    Holy moly, I’m not big on politics but I had to look up the clip of this and in addition to the ridiculousness of saying this, he actually talks like how people meme his speech patterns. I thought it was embellishments and exaggerations.

    Does anyone have a clip of this? All I can find are links with two minutes of him talking before saying that at the end. It’s a really funny 10 seconds but who wants to sit through that to get to it.

    They forget he had 4 years to put in a new healthcare plan and he never did. He kept saying “in 2 weeks, we’ll have the best healthcare in the history of healthcare” and other bullshit. After months of that, he finally said “who knew healthcare was so complicated?”

    He and the GOP don’t have shit for healthcare other than stripping it from women.

    I’m just gonna go right out and say it.

    The ACA is a center right to right leaning policy. It’s a middle ground between Medicare for All and the disaster that privatized healthcare was before the ACA.

    Republicans are in a lose-lose position because they cornered themselves into rabidly opposing anything Obama did and calling it communism. Obama tried to appeal to moderates and republicans by making the ACA an incredibly bipartisan approach to healthcare. The republicans didn’t want to let Obama have a win so the party threw everything they could behind blocking it in the hopes that when they won next they would copy it and change a few minor things and pass it off as some completely new idea nobody had ever considered.

    Notice that when Trump was in office, the proposed healthcare bill (AHCA) the republicans put together was just a slightly tweak of the ACA. Then they canned it when it was wildly unpopular, shrugged and moved on. Now the doublespeak is “Obamacare was bad but it would’ve been worse if it hadn’t been for me and we’re gonna fix it, but don’t ask me how yet.”

    And that’s the best they’ve come up with in the 14 years since the ACA was passed.

      And the biggest clue to the truth of this is that the ACA is basically just RomneyCare with a few more individual protections bolted on. It was literally Mitt Romney’s plan to fix health care, and the Obama team used it because they knew that it could get support in the GOP.

        This 100%. The ACA was starting as a gift to the GOP and they still slapped Obama’s hand.

    When he said this I shot Diet Dr. Pepper out of my nose. It was such a D&D line.

    Leader: Were gonna take down the goblin camp and free the hostages while looting all of the treasure and drinking all their ale.

    Party: So, you have a plan?

    Leader: I have concepts of a plan.

      Me? I’m a planner. You know? I make plans.

      You’ve already made the plan, so what value do you have now?

      If, uh, the plan fails… the existing plan… I make a new plan.

      So you make plans that fail.

      Kayleigh Mackadoodle has it in a giant binder— it’s right under the never released, perpetually “2 weeks away” healthcare plan in the other giant binder; which was of course full of blank paper.

      Not actual quotes, just a joke:

      It’s the greatest outline, the best. Some of the smartest world leaders have told me it’s great, like Orban.

      Sir, Orban supports free healthcare in Hungary.

      That guy is the worst! Terrible ideas that one has!
