But even with those disagreements I make it clear that I believe Trump is still infinitely preferable to the alternative.
I'm not certain where you get the idea he will leave entitlements untouched...
I get that from Trump himself who has said no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
...how in the world replacing Obamacare with an HSA based free market system is bad...
Because his plan does nothing. Much of it already exists, at least one of his proposals completely ignores the 10th Amendment, and the rest will do little or nothing to control costs. The only solution is to repeal Obamacare and have the government stay out of it. There is nothing the government can do that won't be A) horribly expensive, and/or B) make matters worse.
... and that he isn't going to cut spending anywhere.
I have yet to see any serious proposals from him outlining where he will cut anything. Right now we have a half-trillion dollar deficit. Trump has proposed large increases in defense and a trillion dollars for infrastructure. Something has to give or we'll be back to the trillion-plus deficits of the Obama years.
I don't know where you get those ideas.
Please show me where I'm wrong. I'm more than willing to learn.
That's not a full disclosure of all he has said. He has said he is willing to cut if necessary, he has also said he will be able to make a huge difference with getting at waste and fraud. I have heard him discuss these issues with Hannity, I think you are hearing selectively.

You clearly know nothing about his plan if you believe that. Kindly go to his website, you are flat out being misled from what I can see. It's an HSA based free market plan. Inconceivable you don't know that. (I think I can guess who you voted for.)

I would prefer he define how he will cut in an official manner as well, but I have heard him discuss different approaches he will make, from using the Penny Plan, to cutting most areas other than medicare and the military. My take is simple, this is a business man who brought virtually ALL of his projects in under budget and on time. I think he will be the most trustworthy of any of our candidates on the policy of cutting spending and meeting budgets. Btw, there was NO OTHER candidate for the nomination that was any better. Just thought you should know, in case that really is an issue that differentiated Trump from others who ran.
