Trump Campaign Supports GOP Platform that Moved Further Right

Seems more like a Cruz platform. Trump signed off on it, but considering his past track record he has always backpedaled.

Trump Campaign Supports GOP Platform That Moved Further Right


 CLEVELAND, Ohio - Republicans tasked with drafting a policy document that guides and defines the GOP has completed its work, effectively moving the party further to the right on issues of guns, immigration, and traditional marriage.

While the campaign of presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump largely stayed out of the process, the committee adopted some of his policy positions and ignored others. Delegates and aides to Donald Trump said Trump was comfortable with delegates taking the lead on policy guidelines, especially as the campaign was working to contain opposition to his candidacy at his own nominating convention. After the committee completed its work Tuesday, aides to Trump said they are pleased with the product. It now must be approved by the all delegates on the floor of the Republican National Convention Monday.

Marriage and Family ... (more) ...

Abortion Few major changes were made on the issue of abortion but language was strengthened to condemn all types of abortion....

Immigration and Guns  The committee strengthened its language around gun rights. Kansas delegate Kris Kobach, a secretary of state, got an amendment passed opposing any law that would restrict magazine capacity...The committee also supported language that called for the building of a physical wall along the southern border, a campaign position that is central to Trump's candidacy. Forcing Mexico to pay for the wall is not included, however.

Trade, Foreign Policy and Israel  The committee moved closer to Trump on Trade, removing language that pushed for the passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and adding language invoking some of Trump's language, saying "We need better negotiated trade agreements that put America first." ...

Trump favors abortion, Trump favors gay marriage, Trump does not like free trade, Trump supported "no fly, no buy"

Saying that Team Trump supports this platform is ridiculous when their leader obviously does not.

Saying you said one true thing about Trump's positions here is ridiculous.

Making false statements about Trump's stated positions, portrays you in the least of ways. It makes you look unserious.

Do you also claim that Alberta is in Montana province ?? Unserious, you see ??

Trump Campaign Supports GOP Platform That Moved Further Right

What Trump says and what Trump does are seldom the same.  And since I highly doubt that Trump will read the platform then he won't know what's on it anyway.

[I don't think Trump cares beans about the platform.  This run is just the ultimate ego trip.

Hey, what better way to overturn the GOP establishment than to largely stay out of the process.  The biggest lie of this entire campaign is the one Trump supporters have made up about Trump being anti-GOPe.

Platforms are largely ignored by both parties.  They're like beginning-of-the-year business plans, with lots of good intentions but end up at the bottom of the drawer two months in.

well it does support the conservative view .... stipulating “that man-made law must be consistent with God-given, natural rights.” regarding family and social issues..and I like the idea of teaching the Bible in schools 'to offset Islam being taught currently'.....also adding that  pornography  is “a public menace” that is especially harmful to children. ..and  "unequivocal support for Israel." ...These are very good positions..and no wonder Trump's people welcomed it. I sure do!

There is one  section titled “A Dangerous World,” which certainly 'echo's Trump regarding the instability of current geopolitics. Is see many points that are in lock step with those Trump has spoken of. .....No doubt the final result was the most conservative platform I've ever seen!.........So it certainly looks to me like the GOP have fallen in line with Trump’s proposals and vice versa that have resonated with the American people...

Changing "fence" to "Wall" was a good thing where it can be done......which has been on the GOP Platform for years, just not implimented to speak of.

sort of like campaign promises, suggestions and the books written by candidates around the time they announce their candidacies.
