Donald Trump's stranger-than-fiction campaign is kicking many traditional Republican talking points to the curb in favor of a unique brand of populist nationalism. But the candidate and the party establishment apparently agree, at least for the moment, that Obamacare will be a central line of attack for Republicans this fall.
The Hill reports that Trump and Senate Republicans have discussed framing rising premiums and other unhappy aspects of the health care landscape as the direct result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in their fights against Senate Democratic candidates and Hillary Clinton.
Beyond agreeing that the landmark health law has to go, however, there may be little similarity between what Trump and other members of his party are saying about health care this year. Trump's statements on the issue have been contradictory and muddled, and have included promises that the government can guarantee universal coverage that one typically associates with the left.
