Have you told him being president is not being ceo of the United States that the congress is going to have a say . We have talked about that extensively. We have talked about the constitution. Article one of the constitution. Separation of powers. He feels under president obamas watch he stripped a lot of power away from the constitution away from the legislative branch of the government. We want to reset the balance of power so that people and the constitution are rightfully restored. Thats what donald trump believes. He believes in the separation of power. You dont think he things he is going to run the country the way he wants to . No, i think he understands there is a constitution and that those separate but equal branches of government give us a limited government the he believes that. You called donald trump a racist .

What we know is that we have to make good on this promise, we have to bring relief as fast as possible to people who are struggling under obama care. What do republicans intend to put in its place . Patient centered health care that gets everybody access to Affordable HealthCare Coverage so they can buy what they want to buy. People will still get coverage regardless of their preexisting condition . We think preexisting condition is an important feature of any health care system. Children on their parents plans until 26 . Something we actually have had in our plan as well. And, women will pay the same as men . That didnt used to be the case. Depends on the age of a person. We believe that, we should have support based on age. Sicker and older you get, the more support you ought to get.

Heres what we are working on with respect to immigration. Securing our border, enforcing laws. He talked criminal aliens. Enforcing laws for people who came here illegally, came and committed violent crimes. We should enforce those laws. But really what we are focused on is securing our border. Trump said he was going to bill a wall . Conditions on the ground determine what you need in an area. Some areas you may need a wall, some areas double fencing.
