But anyway, I’m very happy to see Republicans hitting almost all of the right notes on foreign policy here. The big question, of course, is whether they can get Trump to go along with this plan. On that score, I’m not optimistic.
In fact, that’s my general verdict on this entire RNC platform. The national-level GOP has improved on policy by leaps and bounds — refocusing on economics, taking more reasonable positions on culture wars, and triangulating some of Democrats’ ideas. If the party were actually being led by someone who was on board with this agenda — a Reagan-type figure — I’d be much more optimistic about the next four years.
Sadly, it is not.
I'm curious what you think about this quote, though. The author, as do I, seems to think the platform is not an accurate representation of Trump's goals during the next four years.
If Romney were heading the GOP ballot, I'd be much, much less concerned.
Trump has been a Democrat. He has been an Independent. Now he is running again as a Republican. As someone who watched him for a very long time, he has always been about Trump. I am not sure what he truly believes in. But there will be compromises between what he thinks his voters want and what is in the Republican national platform. There always is.
