(1) "We will come up with a cure for cancer"
(2) "If I'm elected, we're gonna cure cancer."
Not comparable. Trump didn't explicitly say that a cure for cancer, would be a function of him winning an election.
Also, if I was GS, I would accuse you of "whataboutism". But as always, everything is OK when democrats do it.
Paul, between the two of us, one of us has regularly praised and criticized both sides. The other doesn't go against his ideology in any meaningful ways, ever.
