RNC committeeman Dave Agema has it right, the party platform is nothing but voter bait but doesn’t mean anything beyond that.
A good start to the reality of what the platform is becoming. I would add that it IS important to keep that platform, and equally important to make sure that the leaders and members strive to use it as a compass in their actions.
The sad part is, a lot of those with an (R) behind their names only pretend to support the platform. The interesting news is that there is no elected official anywhere who is conservative that doesn't have an (R) behind their name. It gives hope to the idea we could actually take the party back, it's the Reagan method. It's pretty clear that Cruz believes that as well.
