Fact that Trump is sub-fluent in policy jargon makes him hard to pin down, but also easy for critics to pin views on him that aren’t his.

Trump replies, "Well, I like the mandate. Okay, so here's where I'm a little bit different. I don't want people dying on the streets."

@brianbeutler One silver lining is that Rubio & Cruz overestimated the "let the poor die on the street" vote among Republicans.
