Obamacare will have to be replaced with something; the American people will demand it. You can’t just take away people’s Obamacare insurance, however crappy, and leave them with nothing.

I'd argue with that but assuming you're correct then how does Trump's plan replace Obamacare insurance? He offers no subsidies, no healthcare exchanges, no coverage for pre-existing conditions or children past 21, none of the things that Obamacare does. And what he does offer either is already available or won't do anything to provide coverage for those who can't afford it.

And at the same time that Cruz has no workable plans, Cruz supporters are here excoriating Trump because of his lack of specifics.

You say Cruz offers no workable plan. Trump offers a plan that isn't workable. And the difference is?

I despise intellectual dishonesty.

There is nothing dishonest about it. Cruz recognizes that this is a problem that government can't solve short of taking over the healthcare industry. There is nothing dishonest in that. What's dishonest is offering a plan that does nothing and calling it a solution.

What’s dishonest is Cruz posing and pontificating as the great conservative savior when he damn well knows half of the things he proposes, however vaguely, on his website will never come to pass.

Meanwhile, his supporters excoriate Trump because his proposed solutions aren’t an instant fixit to all the country’s ills. At least he’s put forth a few concrete proposals for people to take pot shots at. Cruz hasn’t even had the courage to do that. He’s too afraid he might actually have to fix something instead of just “fighting” for it.

Obamacare will be replaced with something. At the very least allowing insurance to be sold across state lines will be a market-based improvement.
