Does anyone here really think Trump wants to be POTUS and actually govern this country? His “interviews” on substantive matters are a joke. It’s all about him. He has no core beliefs and hasn’t thought thru these positions in order to make coherent responses.
Interestingly, I read an article in a lib publication that flatly said that Sanders hasn’t thought thru issues and solutions much either. It show the mood of the American voter that protest candidates with no real platform are doing so well.
Dittoes.
The odds of a brokered convention, massive infighting in the Republican Party, a nominee (not Trump) that pisses off the majority of Repubs, and an eventual win for Hillary is what most FReepers and conservatives thought would happen last June when Donald Trump announced his bid as a Republican. They believed (former?) liberal Trump was secretly agitating for Hillary.
Turns out they were right.
No candidate, on either side, ever talks on substantive issues in any detail. Quite frankly, if they did the viewers' eyes would glaze over and they wouldn't have a clue as to what's being said.
Candidates can only keep voters' short-attention spans engaged with broad strokes, high level points. In Trump's case those points include things like "vetting refugees flooding in from Muslim countries", "building a wall on the southern border", "repealing Obamacare and taking steps to fix the health insurance situation", "fixing trade deals to help American companies", "reversing course on being so P.C. that we can't function", and so on. See his site for detailed discussions.
Hillary simply rattles off poll-tested talking points, and has no real plans. Cruz isn't much better in that regard... he won't stop illegals, he won't dare prevent Muslim terrorists from flooding in, and changes to Obamacare will be in favor of his big donors in the industry, etc.
all delegates will be for sale. Who wins?
