"There’s a simple explanation for this: They can’t."

Using healthcare as an example; They promise to reform healthcare by repealing Obamacare and replacing it with something "better".

They can't.

Why? Because, as Bill Maher once put it; "How do you govern more effectively, when your whole thing is to not govern at all?".

Deregulate healthcare and you return to the conditions that started the debate in the first place. Americans will not like that.

Using trade as an example;

Trump has promised to return manufacturing to America. As much as I would like to see that happen.... Think of the reasons why it left in the first place.

Americans will not like the pollution that deregulated heavy industry brings, the inflation that the cost of producing domestically would bring, the labor conditions that deregulating labor would bring................

In short, they make these promises knowing fully well, "They can't.".
