    The Republican Party concerning its platform:

    https://prod-cdn-static.gop.com/media/documents/RESOLUTION_REGARDING_THE_REPUBLICAN_PARTY_PLATFORM.pdf

    Basically the RNC resolved to not adopt any new platform in 2020. So it's either the 2016 platform continues to be in effect, or the GOP is not a party with no platform.

    The resolution was attached to the 2016 platform, so may be they mean for the 2016 platform to continue to be in effect. Of course, in the 2016 platform, the GOP has some rather awkward bits, like multitude of grievances against the "current administration."

      The governor thing was unnecessary. You already ticked the right box for Jon. Although I'm not absolutely sure about that.

          Any word about his Covid update ratings? I hear they were impressive.

            And Biden’s speech mirrored if not plagiarized his 2008 speech. Yawn,

              I'd make a commercial out of Walker's speech. It was that good.

                I've watched only a bit.

                Just like the DNC convention, it looks like an informercial.

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                        They decided run against her instead of Joe. Can’t say I blame them.

                            I don't expect any of the democrats here to see that though. If you had sense enough to see it, you wouldn't be a democrat to start with.

                              So, is Jerry Falwell, Jr. still speaking at the Republican National Convention? Or is he just gonna sit in the corner and watch?
