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?"

It seems to work for many politicians, Obama being the prime example.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As opposed to the overwhelming support Trump enjoys from the party?

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.

And you think people would have learned a lesson from that. But along comes Trump...

I am serious. Ted Cruz has said he wants to repeal Obamacare, period. No replacement. Not the government's job and not fiscally responsible even if it was.

They're more doable then promising to ban every Muslim in the world from entering the U.S. or to build a wall along our southern border and get Mexico to pay for it. Or to promise to establish a big, beautiful safe zone in Syria so they don't have to leave.

Trump is the one who has been more general rather than specific on how he would implement his agenda. Only in one or two areas. He's all over the board everywhere else. He's big spending and big government.

Despite his protestations and statements, Cruz in an insider.

And Trump is an outsider. I'll take Cruz any day when it comes to knowing how to get things done in D.C.
