Donald Trump is not and was NOT EVER a Strong Pro-Lifer….,
He’s actually NOT a policy guy either as we saw in the recent debate….
On abortion?
Will his ‘leave it to the states’ cost him support?
Trump KNOWS his party line on the policy HELPS Biden and Democrats…
His people are trying to QUIETLY water down mentioning of Abortion at the GOP Convention in a few weeks….
Top advisers to Donald Trump are plotting an overhaul of the Republican Party platform that will dramatically slash its size and refocus the GOP around the former president’s agenda for a second term.
A memo from Trump campaign managers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles dated Thursday criticized past platforms as too long and too heavily influenced by special interests and outside groups. A “clear, concise and easily digestible” platform will be easier for voters to understand and harder for political opponents to attack, they wrote.
“Publishing an unnecessarily verbose treatise will provide more fuel for our opponent’s fire of misinformation and misrepresentation to voters,” the memo said. “It is with that recognition that we will present a streamlined platform in line with President Trump’s principled and popular vision for America’s future.”
The memo, obtained Saturday by CNN, was first reported by The New York Times.
The party’s most recent platform, crafted in 2016 and reapproved in 2020, spans 66 pages. A person familiar with the planning said the goal for the upcoming platform is a concise document that is “a couple dozen pages,” written in clearer language and likely reflecting Trump’s top priorities.
That person went on to say that when platform committees convened ahead of previous conventions, their meetings were attended by lobbyists and special interest groups trying to insert specific line items for their clients into the party platform. LaCivita and Wiles wrote they want a platform that will “free our Party from the constraints of Washington jargon and the shackles of lobbyist influence.”
The memo comes amid intensifying anxiety from conservative groups over the direction of the platform ahead of next month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. There is especially concern among anti-abortion groups that Thursday’s memo is signaling Trump intends to remove the platform’s long-standing commitment to a federal abortion ban and an amendment to the US Constitution giving the unborn the same rights as people…..
Note…
This IS the part where Trump and insiders try to move the party to the middle to get traction for swing and indie voters that are still on the fence, but are NOT Republican leaners….
Trump & Co. are VERY aware how they LOST in 2020….
Sorty Republicans. This is what you wanted. Your leader even said overturning Roe and letting states force 12 year old rape victims to become parents is “what everyone wanted”
