The GOP’s 2024 platform isn’t just full of apocalyptic bombast; it’s also a mess economically.
As a big-tent, small-government conservative who spent decades in the Republican Party, I take no joy in reporting that thefrom Donald Trump’s speeches and Truth Social, hardly reflects the unifying message of his post-assassination-attempt rhetoric. Instead, the platform rants that this is a nation “in SERIOUS DECLINE,” one “rocked by Raging Inflation, Open Borders, Rampant Crime.”Remarkably, the nation’s soaring budget deficit goes unmentioned.
The platform also calls for replicating Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system across our entire country. This initiative would surely come in handy if Canada or Mexico were ever to launch a small number of low-flying missiles into the United States.to intercept the long-range nuclear missiles that would come from China, Russia or North Korea. Notably, the GOP platform calls for supporting Israel yet never once mentions Ukraine.
Back then, parties pledged themselves to a coherent set of principles that their presidential nominees vowed to defend. Democrats can be expected to more or less maintain that tradition ahead of their convention in August. But today’s Republican Party rallies around a cult of personality candidate and then tailors its principles to his whims.
