To be fairer, people don't vote for policies, they vote for promises. Trump made few policies, but he made a ton of substantial promises. "I'm going to stimulate the economy by twiddling this lending regulation" means nothing to the general public, whereas "I'm going to ensure you'll get paid more" is easy to digest.

This is something I don't understand at all. Both how people could vote for Brexit with no plan for what it even means, and how people could vote for a Trump healthcare without any concrete plan or knowing if the GOP would even agree with what the President has promised!
