Republicans copy and paste 2016 GOP platform-- President 'has exceeded his constitution authority'

.

The Republican Party announced in a press release Sunday that they would not pass a Republican Party Platform at their convention in 2020. Democrats had their regular committees and caucuses, which debated and handled the business of a political party. Republicans won’t be able to handle that with just a few weeks to set up the event.

To make it worse, the GOP also just copied and pasted their 2016 platform without editing it. It means that an attack on the White House and the

“The current Administration has exceeded its constitutional authority, brazenly and flagrantly violated the separation of powers, sought to divide America into groups and turn citizen against citizen,” the platform says.

at the last minute, rarely proofread or spell-checked. I look forward to the RNC showing us once again this week what an incompetent bunch of numpties are running that outfit.

Why spend a lot of time arguing about it? Just C/P the previous platform and be done with it. Not like Trump will follow their guidelines. Not that they wouldn't forgive Trump's systematic transgressions. The GOP is no longer a serious Party. While this was stupid, the whole idea of standing for anything died when they elected Trump the 1st time.
