Stop voting for "change".

I don't really believe most of the "voting for change" people, to be honest.

At the end of the day, Trump won the less educated because he had the best rhetoric. Not having any real plans ended up being a selling point. Some people don't want to hear explanations they won't understand, they just want someone to say, "I'm going to fix stuff and everything will be better!"

Well the those educated liberals had the last two elections and it was leading us into a path of socialism. Obamacare in a nutshell was wealth redistribution. A lazy unemployed person capble of working shouldn't get better health care than a working person strugging to pay bills. That's a broken system.

In my opinion, people voted for Trump hoping he would take us in a different direction versus more Obama. The new direction republicans take us may not work, but neither was Obama's direction in his 8 years.

I have no problem with socialism as long as it works.  The United States has many socialistic elements that people would go ballistic over if removed.  Anyone really want to go back to private roads?  I doubt it.

The problem with Trump's healthcare plan is that he doesn't have one, which is kind of my point.  It's just promises and talking points.  However, while people who wanted details were criticizing that, the fact that he was just making vague promises to "replace Obamacare with something terrific" was perfect rhetoric for those who don't care about details.  In fact, his success in that regard might influence elections going forward, with candidates only giving trumped up (pun unintended) overviews of their intentions.
