So let's look at the "one" thing he gave any sort of details about.. That's healthcare.. When pressed he claims he's no longer for a single payer system. Instead his grand idea was to erase the imaginary lines (state lines) and let insurance companies compete across the board instead of at the state level..
Meaning his idea is to keep Obamacare as is and just change the way insurance companies come up with their prices. Making it a national exchange vs state exchanges..
So all you anti Obamacare guys are sure to get a piece of the new and improved Trumpcare..
That was his one and only bit of detail into how he would do anything other than say I'm Donald Trump..

Please stop with the coherent analysis of his ineptitude and the underlying reasons for his popularity, you're ruining it for the rest of us
For real though, the post-debate polls aren't just a victory for peeps who value stream of consciousness brash/ignorant/tourette-style remarks and hit-the-amygdala-sound-bites over logic, wisdom and reason, the results are an indictment of your whole constitutional republic
Trump serves as a mirror for a specific segment of the American population, and the view is pretty ugly. If I think about it for too long my head will explode, that people can perceive off-the-cuff ignorant remarks as 'straight-shooter' truth and value that instead of demanding more from their prospective leaders. Ethics, honesty, wisdom, egalitarian leadership, all that kooky ish.
This goes beyond Trump btw, anti-intellectualism is a time-honored tradition in your nation. There's a reason why peeps on the US campaign stump pose with guns instead of books. There's a reason why such an obscene amount of cash is needed to even get a shot at the brass ring.
Looking at the US from outside, y'all have a system that's irrevocably broken as fuck. Due to the set up of your campaign system top echelon money and power alway win, people don't. if I was a US citizen I'd hold my nose and vote democrat but I wouldn't be pleased about it; to me the choice between the lesser of two evils is not an acceptable range of viable options.
No wonder almost half the people in your nation can't be bothered to show up at the polls.
