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."

@George-K said in Republican National Convention (RNC) - 2020:

Woman Governor (whom Jon would tap in a heartbeat)

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

[Axtremus]

Watching the RNC now.
Anyone else watching?
The program is ow touting how everyone else got COVID-19 wrong and how Trump handled it greatly.

[jon-nyc]

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

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

[Jolly]

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

[George K]

I've watched only a bit.

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

"But wait! There's more!"

[Loki]

Nikki gave a very compelling speech.

[jon-nyc]

The Cuban guy was very good.
