The problem? Trump has backed away from pursuing a federal abortion ban. That’s good news in more ways than one. Good for those of us who don’t want to live in a particular Margaret Atwood novel, but also good for Christian conservatives to see that their messiah is not really committed to their cause and not interested in their objections.
The Trump platform was developed behind closed doors and people were neither given much time to examine it nor allowed to propose amendments:
The document — which was whittled down from 66 pages in 2016 to 16 pages this year — was developed behind closed doors and hastily presented to and approved by delegates in just a few hours Monday morning.
“They didn’t even give us a chance to read it before we voted on it,” Ruzicka said. She didn’t know exactly how long they had before voting — staff had taken her watch, phone and laptop — but it was “maybe a couple of hours” filled by speakers.
“I'm very frustrated. I think we were treated very poorly. We spent a lot of money to get here. We were supposed to have the opportunity to study it and read it. We didn't get even a chance to read it first,” Ruzicka said. “They gave it to us, but we kept waiting to go to our committee and then they didn't ever do committees.”
Someone JUST discovered that Trump is NOT a “constitutional conservative.”“The 2024 platform is a decent statement of campaign priorities, but not necessarily the enduring principles of a party,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. “Unfortunately, the process was unbecoming of constitutional conservatives which did not allow the document to be amended or improved.”
