    Name a time he hasn't bragged (lied) about a situation...that doesn't make it positive. If you want to vote for him that's your business but facts are facts.

    They will need to start a new conservative party. There is no salvaging the existing GOP structure. It sold it's soul to the devil.

    It sounds good, but I’m very dubious, @Dubious. I’ve never seen a successful 3rd party. The most I’ve seen them do is play the role of spoiler. Hey, if they want to split the GOP, I’m all for it, but what they really need to do is help elect Biden so we can put trump behind bars. That’ll solve a lot of the problems the GOP has. Far from all of them, though. That party is well and truly ****ed up.

    I don't think it will be a third Party. The existing nut job GOP will whither to a third party once corporate money has a sane option

    You sound like someone with anger issues, maybe the pandemic is causing undue stress in your life, don't worry...I understand. Just try to be more positive, ok?

    How do Democrats write their platform?

    Secondly it seems like the decision had more to do with having a downsized convention and therefore not changing much

    Platforms have some current issue language like after 9-11 but mostly Republicans are small government pro business. They don't have to do mch updating to the platform

    Is trump pro small government? And why does he keep attacking private businesses?

    The platform is too personally profit at the expense of others.

    When was the last time the Republican Party took steps to decrease the size of the government?

    Out of curiosity.

    I was a 2 when Bush Sr. took office so I only have first hand knowledge on W/Trump. And during W’s time they did that whole Patriot Act thing.
