(54,587 posts)He's not going to denounce Trump over something as trivial as insulting our nation's youth when there's a multi-billion-dollar merger at stake, after all. A man has to have his priorities straight, after all, right?

(34,661 posts)the Mega merger waiting in the wings is,Anthem Blue Cross and Cigna. Remember,this was a hot story last fall after the Elections. Why do you think the Rethugs want the ACA gone.

I was wrong. Should have known better.

(54,587 posts)Instead he had his merger in mind--no way he was going to put that in jeopardy for a few dozen thousand kids in silly uniforms, was he? A man has to have priorities, after all...........
