I am seriously wavering. There aren’t any better options right now, but then again, there’s getting to be less and less difference between the worst of the worst.

Completely removing the national debt from the new platform, which is in my opinion the biggest threat facing the US, is completely inexplicable, and inexcusable as well.

The Republican Party has spent my entire adult life proving that it is fully vested in fiscal irresponsibility. It would be the height of comical hypocrisy for the GOP to pretend it gave a flying sh!t about it now.

These issues can easily be put back on the platform as the party becomes more conservative.

Since when does any party actually implement their platforms after the election is over?

The republican party passed Biden’s 2-3 trillion in pork barrel spending. Now if Trump manages to win, republicans will suddenly become budget hawks and won’t be able to find 10 billion for a wall to protect the country. People know the playbook too well.

It’s not the biggest threat. Inflation from abusing the spending/currency-creating process is a potential threat, but debt (even a substantial amount of debt) is not in and of itself a threat. A far bigger issue than debt is: “Who is being bought off/subsidized by debt-spending?” Since the answer to that is “Primarily Democrat voters.”, what should be halted are hand-outs that empower Left-wing institutions/groups.
