4. really, he has nothing to gain by posting such information

the people who would vote for him are more interested in his declaration about how things "should be" on Faux than they are in any actual policy positions he might provide on his web page. his admonitions to the other candidates are more useful, in themselves, than backing up what he says so he isn't seen as a hypocrite.

whereas actually posting his policy stances would only open him up to critique from all sides, from which he'd gain nothing.

now he's seen as "the candidate who's gone beyond talking about Trump and has details of his policies posted", without having to post a thing. it's like having your cake and eating it too.

if he gets called out on this loudly, he'll just blame a staffer for forgetting to post an obvious link.
