Trump's speech and 'the truth' From Trump promises a 'safer' America. Chalk this up as one more example of how the Republican Party has become the Party of Trump. One of the traditional duties of the delegates to the quadrennial national party conventions, both Democratic and Republican, is to adopt a platform stating their policy preferences and principles.
These documents - akin to British party manifestos - are typically the subject of intense haggling and debate among the delegates, but are largely ignored by the candidates themselves, unless opponents decide to highlight a portion they think general-election voters will find extreme or unpopular. Even with the coronavirus pandemic reshaping political conventions this year, the Democrats adopted a page document with headings such as "Healing the Soul of America" and "Restoring and Strengthening Our Democracy".
The page report, which was released on March 18, , included calls for increased outreach to women and minority groups, improved data and digital infrastructure, fewer presidential primary debates, and revamped fundraising and public relations strategies.

The end product is certainly not optimally designed to serve the interests of the presidential candidate or to speak to voters. Kushner had been supervising a six-month effort to rethink the platform, Swan reported. He also wanted to ditch some language and policies designed to appeal to conservative activists that he thought could alienate ordinary voters. The Republican Party has not yet voted on a Platform. No rush. I prefer a new and updated Platform, short form, if possible. As all this was unfolding, so was the Covid pandemic.
Until June, Republicans were still hoping to hold a full-blown convention and to bring 50, people to Charlotte, North Carolina. So Republican officials announced in late June that they would scale back convention proceedings after all and that part of this effort would involve ditching platform-drafting entirely.
