Republican National Committee official Ben Key tried to reassure business leaders Tuesday that Donald Trump's offensive policies wouldn't dictate the GOP platform, reports Jonathan Swan:
“Ben said that as the presumptive nominee, Trump would have some influence on the platform, but it wouldn’t be determinative,” said the first source who attended the meeting. [...]
“And then he added … that the platform would not include some of the more controversial positions that Trump has taken,” the source said.
Seriously? We're just wondering which one of Trump’s anti-female, anti-immigrant, anti-choice, anti-LGBT positions they're going to remove from the platform.
Or perhaps they’re suggesting the platform won't explicitly ban Muslims from the nation or declare all Mexicans "rapists." That must be a real relief to these international businesses.
