Trump doesn’t just deflect, though. He rambles and says NOTHING of substance. Listen to his interviews...Tappers was telling.
His plan for healthcare: Repeal Obamacare (nevermind that I supported and still might, single payer)...replace it with “an awesome plan! A great plan! A plan people will love! An affordable plan).
Immigration: Shut down the border...put a fence on only parts of the border. Oppose amnesty, but allow hard working people to stay (how does he determine this). Oh, and Mexicans love me!
Iran: Bad deal. Persians a clever negotiators. Bomb oil fields.
BTW, did I, Trump, tell you lately that I am rich?
That pretty much sums it up. This “deflect” and not give enough information is a bunch of crap! We talk about how Trump talking loudly is setting an agenda...leading the way. WHY, then, would he HIDE the rest if he is leading the way? It doesn’t make sense unless he doesn’t know.
This is why, despite claims by his supporters, Trump is going to bomb at the debates. Besides, he wanted to run in 2012...he should have had plenty of time to formulate ideas.
What does it benefit him to give anybody something people can criticize when there is so much out there for him to criticize?
It’s like asking someone in a fire fight that he might get a better shot if he stood up from behind a barricade.
What if he said, “I can gut the cost of government by more than half. We are getting rid of departments.”
He’d be done by tomorrow, regardless of whether its a good idea or not.
“1/5 of El Salvador now lives in the US. I’m sending them back.”
Done.
“Iran won’t stop until someone stops them. I intend to do that.”
Done.
It’s enough to point out how what is going on right now cries out against what is logical, what is good for the middle class, and what is good for America strategically.
It’s enough that he plans to hold the rest of the GOP field hostage. Either they change their tune or I’ll go Indy. GOP can’t have that. They know that unless they keep conservatives on the reservation, they aren’t going to win.
So far, this works.
I would be VERY hesitant to say that Trump "can't" do something or will be "bad" at something.
