REID: "David K. Johnson, one of the interesting things and you have covered Donald Trump for a long time. Is the reason he changed his mind suddenly on repealing the affordable care act. I’ll just read it to you, from “The Wall Street journal” interview, Mr. Donald Trump said a big reason for his shift was that Thursday meeting at the White House with the president who he said suggested areas of the Affordable Care Act to preserve, I said I would look at his suggestions, the last person he talked to is what he wants to do. In your view, does Donald Trump have an ideological desire to repeal the Affordable Care Act." 
JOHNSTON: "Donald has said that health care should be a right just like going to public school and he’s in favor of no out of pocket health care. So when we went into the campaign on this rant, it was part of his racist appeal, and his white supremacist appeal to get votes. And with everything else he said during the campaign, we’re now going to see he’s going to do whatever he thinks is the right thing to do at the moment. I don’t see any serious policy here. Donald is not somebody who sits down and reads policy papers for hours on end like president Obama for example."
