It is early in the campaign, and Trump would be a fool to divulge his plans for many of the things he is planning.
Why would he want the other candidates to get the jump on him?
When he first entered the campaign, he was quick to discuss what needed to be done, and soon after all the other candidates jumped on board , as if it were their own idea.
He is smart to not divulge his solutions to many of the problems this country faces.
When he becomes President, that is the time we will all know how he intends to govern.
I also called it a bad deal. Are you deliberately not understanding this conversation?
No, but your bias is killing your own argument. You're saying that when Obama is diplomatic with foreign adversaries, it's a bad thing. When Trump wants to do the exact same thing, you swoon over the thought. Why are you changing the rules halfway through the game?
Pretty much what the anti-Trumps are saying is being ignored now. The same old same old. We explained it, linked articles and that is about all we can do. I mean, at some point..........
I notice that those being critical of Trump are not comparing them to their candidates so despite what they think of Trump, I suspect that must be their candidate since they seem to have no interest in any other candidate.
Tell me how your candidate is a better choice than Trump and what the policies of your candidate are because, otherwise, Trump must be the best or, you all are just Democrats trying to make sure a loser like Cruz or Rubio is Hillary's competition since she might be able to take a minor league GOP candidate in the general election.
Are you quoting 2 Corinthians again? Is calling others losers what your "True Christian" guidelines states?
Isn't it funny that he's never come up with a concrete example of what the replacement will be? I can't honestly believe that people think this guy is a true leader.
He and others ( for example, Cruz) useem to rely on inter- state sales of healthcare insurance as the way to make insurance more competitive. This does not address the root cause, the cost of healthcare.
It ignores that each state has a governor appointed insurance commission that decides what provisions must be included in an individual plan and regulates insurance companies. It ignores healthcare provider networks.
No two states have the same laws or regulations beyond the current ACA " Essential Services". The ACA leaves a whole lot of specifics to the state. Some states have chosen not to mandate the inclusion of outpatient surgery. No two states mandate the inclusion of the same medications some states require insurers to enable adult children to remain on their parent's plan beyond age 26.
How do out of state insurers create healthcare provider networks in other states? Would the concept of in vs out of network survive?
The states with the least regulatory over site ( consumer protections) would likely attract the most insurers, no different than how the few states with no usury laws attract credit card providers. What happens when an insurer fails?
Premiums are based in part on local demographics and number of claims. Healthcare in regions with healthier populations tend to have lower premiums than regions with more claims.
And then there the competition or lack thereof, within the local market. Regions with little to no competition tend to have higher premiums ( all else being equal) than highly competitive markets.
The politicians waving the flag of interstate insurance sales as the answer to reducing the cost of healthcare are either ignorant or negligent. Probably both.
Oh yeah, there are 6 states that do allow cross state sales and have done so for years. Thus far, no takers for the reasons listed above.

Bob.
Guess the people will have to elect him ( or any other politician) to find out how he/she intends to achieve their promises and get Congress to go along with and fund it.

You're framing your discussion as if Trump is looking at this through a Conservative lens. He is not.
