cares. that itself was an interesting thing to watch at the time. presidential nominee absents himself from the party platform process. interesting. but what was way more interesting than that, what was riveting and bizarre to watch at the time that we couldn t make heads or tails of at the time was the trump campaign s one exception on the party platform. even hope the they let this other stuff slide, that was very much not in keeping with trump and the campaign, they did decide to get up on their hind legs and fight and intercede aggressively for one specific thing in the platform. one specific part of the republican party platform, and that was a thing about russia. there was a proposed plank for the republican party platform that said ukraine should get help from the united states up to and including lethal weaponry so ukraine could fight off russian incursions. and you know what, the trump campaign let everything else in the platform slide. even stuff that might theoretic ....
