Robin Smith: Suddenly, the GOP's Platform Matters?

The RNC didn't feature a new platform, but Trump has fulfilled previous planks.

Where’s the platform? What does it mean to be a Republican? What are the specific policies instead of the personalities?

After the GOP declined to draft a 2020 platform, instead opting to run again on the 2016 version, these are a few of the questions coming from the professional opinion-writers class.

Suddenly, there’s clamor for a multi-page document that’s rarely reviewed or referenced by elected officials. Because the Republican National Committee convention planners chose to feature individuals whose lives have been positively impacted rather than speeches by elected Republicans whose pedigrees include decades of elected office and stacks of policy papers, the GOP has been declared rudderless and without stated purpose.

And Americans care … how much?

Yes, principles are important. Indeed, policies based on these foundational principles are critical. Yet, if history serves as a guide, the platform would almost be an ignored relic the moment it was published.

President Trump established his platform by being the greatest President America has ever had in just for years. Biden has been a politician for years and years and he still doesn't know what is important in America - it's people!

Fluff peace to offer apologetic on the fact that Trump has no plan for the next four years, other than Trump being in charge. Again, it's never about America, or Americans... it was always just about Trump.

The con man is grifting ya'll, again.

Luckily, many conservatives are seeing it and he is loosing support.

Don't need a platform when you do everything you said you would. But since libutards need a slogan. Here it is.

"PROMISE'S MADE. PROMISE'S KEPT"
