There's lots of diverse talk for ObamaCare repeal and replace but single payer is persona non grata in the GOP and political suicide for a republican and even a republican President.

You're seriously underestimating Trump's cult of personality. If he and his Breitbart bully pulpit went to war with the establishment conservatives over this, he'd flip the average voter as easily as he did on trade.

The breitbart base already flipped out over Trump sending up trial balloons about going with the 2013 gang of 8 bill and trump backed the frick off of that.

Single payer has that same status as well.

If Vermont and Colorado don't want to do single payer, Trump will never do it.

Besides, Trade is something that has had bipartisan concern and has for decades.

Single payer is a partisan idea exclusively in the democrats sphere.

True, but I also think there are enough people around him that would talk him out of it. Bannon, Sessions, Miller, etc. Plus, I think it'd be a non-starter in the House.

I do think many of his voters would get on board with single payer if they actually understood what it meant. He would lose the budget hawks and wealthy conservatives though.
