Re: "During and after the presidential election campaign, even as Mr. Trump promised to repeal Obamacare, he vowed to simultaneously push premiums down and ensure that no one loses insurance coverage. It is a virtually impossible task, as illustrated by the CBO’s analysis, but it is an important part of the President’s appeal to blue-collar voters in the country’s industrial heartland."

Could someone - anyone - please explain the "appeal" of blatant, easily proven false, outright lies to ... anyone, let alone "blue collar voters"?

Surely they aren't that gullible.
