I realize it's an accelerated schedule.

I don't want to guess at broad brush. I want to see well worked-out policy descriptions that one would expect to find for a Presidential campaign.

7. The fact that there isn't one yet indicates to me just how quickly this all came about.

They haven't been a ticket for an entire week yet, and have been focusing on harnessing/capitalizing on this enormous burst of enthusiasm and energy. I'd expect there to be some basics up by next week's convention.
