“Any how is he planning on doing these things? Any details, or just promises?”

I always like Ronald Reagan, and I watched him carefully during his campaign. He pushed three themes: lower taxes, cut spending, rebuild military. Those things, evidently, are self-defining, since he never got into the weeds on how he would do it. I trusted that he would do what he pledged. When he was elected, he sat about immediately to do just that.

When Trump says he will build a wall, and since 700 miles of it has already been approved by Congress, do you really think you need to see a blueprint and hear bidding on it?

When Trump says he will deport illegal aliens, all he has to do is activate the strategy that Eisenhower successfully used to deport over a million illegals in the fifties, and that the media carefully hides from the American people.

When he says, like Reagan, that he will rebuild the military, do you really need to hear the actual defense appropriations that will be necessary to move through Congress?

When he says he will re-negotiate trade deals that are dull and dry as mold dust, and would bore the living hell out of the average person, do you really believe he will get neck deep in details concerning that. A campaign event is not the time to try to develop details. He already has submitted those details in his book that came out last month, if you really thirst for details.

Incidentally, Trump has been more detailed than any of the other candidates; it’s just that nobody complains about them.

The other side likes to talk detail. Remember that “rally” Bush had with all the sleeping going on? people really don’t want all the detail. They want a vision they support and a person who they believe will execute that vision.

We are hiring a LEADER, not a wonk.
