Repeal and replace with nothing? That’s some pretty good boob bait for conservative bubbas, but as a practical matter it will never fly.
Obamacare will have to be replaced with something; the American people will demand it. You can’t just take away people’s Obamacare insurance, however crappy, and leave them with nothing.
That’s one of my problems with Cruz. Ideologically, nobody throws out the red meat better than Cruz. But he has no workable plans for any of it.
And at the same time that Cruz has no workable plans, Cruz supporters are here excoriating Trump because of his lack of specifics.
I despise intellectual dishonesty.
I'd argue with that but assuming you're correct then how does Trump's plan replace Obamacare insurance? He offers no subsidies, no healthcare exchanges, no coverage for pre-existing conditions or children past 21, none of the things that Obamacare does. And what he does offer either is already available or won't do anything to provide coverage for those who can't afford it.

You say Cruz offers no workable plan. Trump offers a plan that isn't workable. And the difference is?
I despise intellectual dishonesty.
There is nothing dishonest about it. Cruz recognizes that this is a problem that government can't solve short of taking over the healthcare industry. There is nothing dishonest in that. What's dishonest is offering a plan that does nothing and calling it a solution.
