I think it was in the other thread where you said you haven't listened to many of his speeches. So are you basing this on your own experience of what he offers or the filters of others?

Because when I listen to him speak (and while I haven't heard this speech yet, I have heard a fair number of his stump speeches) I do see a fair amount of what you're asking for. And of course, you're not going to hear a lot of in depth policy discussion in stump speeches or debates but I do hear parts of it. And certainly not really any less than from other candidates working under the same strange structure of campaign speeched.

And if you want concrete proposals for how he will move towards achieving the high level changes he talks about he has a booklet at his web site that does give detail.

Now, they may not be convincing or you may not agree they'll have the impacts suggested (I certainly disagree with many of them in their usefulness our outcome) but he does give a plan.
