RNC Abandons Adoption Of New Party Platform, Points At Support For Trump Instead

The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced on Sunday that it was forgoing a new party platform for 2020 in favor of simply rallying around President Donald Trump’s agenda.
One day before the party’s convention was slated to begin, the RNC issued a resolution stating that the GOP “has and will continue to enthusiastically support the President’s America-first agenda” and would not be adopting a new platform until the next convention in 2024.
“All platforms are snapshots of the historical contexts in which they are born, and parties abide by their policy priorities, rather than their political rhetoric,” according to the resolution.
The RNC stated that it “did not want a small contingent of delegates formulating a new platform without the breadth of perspectives within the ever-growing Republican movement.”
On the same day as the RNC’s announcement, Trump’s reelection campaign released a bulleted list of the President’s “core priorities for a second term.”
The list largely reiterated Trump’s long-stated positions, including pledges to “End Illegal Immigration” and “Defend Our Police.”
The one question I’ve been asking my wife since the aftermath of the 2016 “election,” is: “THIS is the guy that the Republican Party has been waiting for? THIS is the man they are willing to dump democracy for, and head into autocracy? THIS guy?????”
Trump (even more so than Bush II) has ripped the mask off the face of their party. They aren’t about less government and fiscal responsibility. Never have been. They are about white, male, “Christian” power over everyone else.
It just shows the utter bankruptcy of their party. The only thing that will “rise from the ashes” of Trumpism, is more Trumpism.
It’s like drinking your own urine to stay alive.
They’re betting it all on………………...”this guy.”
