Project 2025 IS the Republican platform. Its written by their think tank that givens them the short list of judges to nominate.

This smoke screen is designed to snag the independents with less than 1 brain cell flickering .

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Steve Nagel, a chiropractor and talk radio host based in North Dakota, has frequently claimed that vaccines of all types lead to worse health outcomes for children.

Demi Kouzounas oversaw a party platform as the chairwoman of the Maine state Republican committee that defined the teaching of nonbinary genders in public schools as “child sexual abuse.”

Mr. Trump’s top campaign advisers, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, have already stated their intention of producing a “streamlined platform,” with policy specifics kept to a bare minimum.

The platform will likely run to a fraction of the 60 pages Republicans produced in 2016 and is expected to echo Mr. Trump’s “America First” agenda, with calls for heightened border restrictions and tariffs on China.

Jessica Hart Steinmann, from Texas, was an attorney in the Trump administration’s Department of Justice, while Derek Harvey, a Maryland representative on the committee, worked in the former president’s National Security Council.

For several of the platform committee representatives convening in Milwaukee — among them Tony Perkins of Louisiana, the president of the Family Research Council, and Tim Huelskamp, the former Kansas congressman — opposition to abortion remains a defining issue.


The original article contains 1,526 words, the summary contains 191 words. Saved 87%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

The longer they don’t have a platform or a VP nomination, the less time they’ll have to be worried about it being picked apart and all the shit to squeeze through the woodwork.

It’s not even about time; it’s that their policy agenda is really unpopular, so they’re planning to have a pledge of allegiance to Trump instead of talking about how they plan to sell national parks to billionaires, let the poor go hungry, and transfer wealth upwards
