| He didn't focus on anything that might attract voters outside his base until after Labor Day, when he seemed suddenly to realize that he might lose. All of a sudden, we have meaningless and toothless health care pronouncements, Platinum plans, $200 prescription cards for Medicare ... he's throwing anything he can think of against a wall and hoping that it sticks.
And, sadly, for a tiny but perhaps determinative slice of the electorate, it might. |

| He rolls out those $200 medicare cards... jeez. You know it will say "this is from Donald Trump to YOU..." And $200 isn't going to go far for prescription medicine nowadays. AND it's a political/election year campaign stunt funded by all of us. AND is it even illegal? Can the president unilaterally change how medicare money is distributed? (Off to google the last point...) As a geezer, I'm insulted. Edit: NPR's takeNot surprisingly, it wasn't vetted, it may not be legal, even if he or his minions can dance around and get the cards sent, that's not very likely to happen before the election. In other words, it's a stunt. |
