What the party platform argues for and what the party nominee believes in are not always the same thing.
The Illinois Republican Party platform is pro-life, but their nominee for Governor is pro-abortion.
The Illinois Libertarian Party platform is pro-abortion, but their nominee for Governor is pro-life.
I think we’re going to see the Republican Party platform change to what the Democrat Party Platform was in the 90’s maybe in 2016.
When a person chooses the rabid full term abortion platform, full homosexuality and gay marriage adoption and military, and open borders party platform deliberately, then I won’t support him and his party.
Instead of listening to his and Ted Kennedy’s protests, look at what party they are trying to advance, which platform all their success and popularity will feed.
Would you really support a democrat Governor candidate because he says he personally disagrees with an element of his party’s platform, an unequivocally clear and foundational element of his party’s platform and ideology, and national goal?
It keeps saying he is “Pro-Life”... what does it mean? Does that mean he would support and sign a ban on abortion? Or is he only “personally opposed” but doesn’t want to stop them?
