"not to lay out solutions" is...a big advantage at this stage."
- It is a political advantage for him to not layout solutions. For us it means we're screwed. Policy details are gotcha questions, off limits. Too soon, not relevant. It will be great, trust me. It makes him the same as Hillary or Bernie, he's going to make everybody so prosperous, just watch, blah, blah.
How about if the candidates tell us what their policies will be and we'll tell them how great we think the results will be. But no, we just change the names of who telling us what the shiny objects of news will be while none of our questions get asked or answered.
On immigration for example he is going to be tough, tough, tough and then the details are the same as Cruz and Rubio, just sound tougher.
On government takings, no problem. What is the limiting principle of that? Huh? Constitutional rights? It depends on which ones. On judicial nominees, no clue. On tax policy, no indication he has read his own, latest proposal. Just a published paper to look serious. On limiting or shrinking government? Not a word. On willingness to govern by executive order? Sounds good. Middle East? Let Russia take care of it. N.K., let China take care of it. Israel? Mexico, trade war. China, trade war. Nuclear Triad? Never heard of it.
How can we tell conservatives they are crazy to support this guy? Nobody likes the person who tells them their crazy. Especially when it's true.
Trump showed amazing political skill to be questioned heavily by two show hosts on two networks as the lead interview every hour and never have any of this come up, just go on and on about how bad everyone else is and how great it will be when he is in charge. Great. Really great - with gallows sarcasm.
Life is way too short to go another 4 or 8 years being ruled by more BS, and the way he tells us he will win is by not telling us the details, just making the case that everyone else is unworthy.
We go way too long between great Presidents.
