He even bashed him at some Boy Scout shindig. And talked about his electoral victory, don't forget that...

Surprised he lasted as long as he did.

I don't understand the Huckabees affinity towards Trump (or any evangelical for that matter.) He stands for everything they are against IMO, other than that he has an "R" next to his name.

Seems rather humiliating to be honest.

Who would want that job? You go out and say one thing, then Trump contradicts it that afternoon. Rinse/repeat.

One thing about middle age is that you begin to (or have already seen) many people you know pass. It's only going to accelerate as we get older too. I recently read "Being Mortal", which was written by a physician who has seen countless people die, many of whom suffered tremendously before doing so. The stories were often grim, and the doctors being human often added to the problem. They wanted to add hope, they wanted to try a little more too, they really didn't want to tell the patient they were out of options. But the hell these poor people went through as a result is nothing I'd care to endure.  Hospice would have been a much more easy option for family, the doctors and the patients.

If I understand correctly this is an aggressive cancer with a poor outcome, even after the horrors of chemotherapy. More than likely he's going to die anyway. I guess my concern would be quality of life. Perhaps I'll get another year, but if my body/mind/spirit are ravaged by the cure, I don't know if that would count as "quality."

But as I said earlier, it's easy for me to sit here and say these things. I'm not 81 with this diagnosis. If that time ever came, I could toss it all  out the window and tell the doctors to throw everything they have at it.

The whole thing sucks really. Time goes by so fast. A blink of the eye really.

As I said before. Republicans can't come up with another plan, because the ACA is essentially a Republican plan in the first place. This is how stupid they are. Whatever Obama wanted they were against, even if they were previously for it. Healthcare isn't the only thing they did this with, but it is the most damaging to their party. If Obamacare was simply an extension of Medicare, the GOP would be floating a replacement plan that looks like what we have today (ACA).

Trumpcare fail to me, means angrier conservatives who replace reps with even bigger nuts.
