New faces on the old Commie Peasants allowed to vote in mock election portrayed as real.

If not convenient outcome for Politburo bosses later on, then thrown out and Politburo’s choice becomes new fearless leader over the peasants. State media and politicians follow after blackmail threats.

Sounds logical.

They can take their Democrat Party and its supporters and....

The delegates should have voted “no”, that would have forced input and dialogue.

If you aren’t given enough time to deliberate changes to a platform you know and agree with, your default should always be “no”.

The outcome was so pre-determined, so tightly controlled that most of the men and women who traveled from the furthest corners of the country wondered what they were even doing there.

It has seemed to me for a long time that the national conventions are mainly an excuse for the party's higher muckety- mucks to have a near week-long party.

“In no season, under no rationale spurred by the exigencies of a political moment, can or should we abandon the high principles that have created and sustained this party, with God’s grace, into a third century.”

Hoooorsehiite.

War Mongering McRomBush quislings.

It’s MAGA now, Baby!

Well done, with no sarcasm. They knew what it would take to bring a middle of the road platform to the election and did what they had to do. Swiftly, efficiently and just the way I hope Trump works in office to clean up the Swamp.

By avoiding a major battle, he didn’t allow the media to turn away from Biden’s problems and change the narrative to Republican problems. Brilliant.

LOVE this guy!

So many national issues have become cottage industries... so much so that neither side wants to see them go away.

There's too much money to be made.

There was no time to argue squabble and act stupid about any proposed changes. Too bad so sad

The worthless GOPe can’t roll with Trump so he rolled right over them, Trump wasn’t waiting around for them to sabotage this election.

They could have voted “no.” I do think it was rushed through because of the abortion position. Pragmatists wanted it softened to help Republicans get elected. Party hacks didn’t want a week’s worth of news cycle about republicans fighting over a national abortion ban.

I can see the point but I worry whenever customs and norms are ignored in the name of “getting stuff done.” Turning off some hardcore supporters in the name of convenience could bite Pubbies in the end.

I think this was GOPe sabatoging Trump. A sophomoric document of inconsistent and unedited content that makes a mockery of Trump.

So they are complaining they didn’t have a chance to either surrender or include guaranteed lower issues in the platform? I had heard that the old Repubican Party was dead. Does this mean it really is?

Where’s Lindsey Graham and company to steal defeat from victory
by posing for the lunatic left’s narrative that Trump represents a guaranteed
criminalizing ban on abortion nationally, in any and all circumstances...

Thwarted.

Trump released it to counter all the Project2025 nonsense

I don’t care one way or the other. No one votes for a platform. I’ve hearing that crap for 50 years.

Those that get tied up in platforms are usually losers.
