Trump is connecting by promising the moon and telling people what the want to hear without anyone saying, "Really? And just how will you do that?" I'd rather have someone like Cruz who advocated government reduction over government solutions. Who realizes that we can't enact the super spectacular Obamacare replacement, and at a cheaper cost, so we shouldn't even be trying. Who understands there are some limits to what can be accomplished so he doesn't promise he can do things he can't. In short I'd prefer a true conservative over a moderate like Trump.
He is a pariah within his own party.
As opposed to the overwhelming support Trump enjoys from the party?
It seems to work for many politicians, Obama being the prime example.

Cruz doesn't want to repeal and replace Obamacare? You can't be serious.
How many of these detailed plans offered by politicians can really be implemented whether it is tax reform or healthcare or foreign policy? Congress and the special interests will have a major say in what happens. I am not impressed by these fantasy land plans that never get implemented.

Trump is the one who has been more general rather than specific on how he would implement his agenda. Trump has produced the most detailed and best position paper on immigration. He can implement most of it without any Congressional action.

Despite his protestations and statements, Cruz in an insider. He is a sitting senator who bears some responsibility for government incompetence. Cruz is using the Obama tactics of criticizing the Washington establishment as the problem as though Obama is an outsider crusading against government failures.
Perhaps if you actually read Trump’s positions you would see that he is not promising the moon or suggesting something that cannot be done.
For example, Obamacare. He is advocating opening insurance across state lines so that people can shop for their own insurance for cheaper prices.
