The way things are going in the country with trump and his supporters at odds with the world, what do you suppose the gop might run on in 2024?

Will they be able to sell the same old stuff? Taxes, god, guns and abortion? Is that enough to satisfy millions. Will trump's legal problems be a dark cloud over the whole party?
 
Rights, immigration, tough on crime, the economy and how they will get us out of the recession.

They don't do platforms any longer.

You need to keep up.

Rights? Including the rights of women to chose what to do with their own bodies?

Democrats let the your body your choice ship sail when they tries to push mandatory vaccines. Both parties have adopted a your body our choice mentality.

see, that is how it goes with you folks. always a deflection. YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION ASKED.

this is just for you:

Whataboutism gives a clue to its meaning in its name. It is not merely the changing of a subject to deflect away from an earlier subject as a political strategy; it’s essentially a reversal of accusation, arguing that an opponent is guilty of an offense just as egregious or worse than what the original party was accused of doing, however unconnected the offenses may be.

The tactic behind whataboutism has been around for a long time. Rhetoricians generally consider it to be a form of tu quoque, which means "you too" in Latin and involves charging your accuser with whatever it is you've just been accused of rather than refuting the truth of the accusation made against you. Tu quoque is considered to be a logical fallacy, because whether or not the original accuser is likewise guilty of an offense has no bearing on the truth value of the original accusation.

What about 'whataboutism'?

If everyone is guilty of something, is no one guilty of anything?

In case that was too complex for you to understand, Johnny gets sent home from school because he hit another kid but mother goes to school and asks "why you picking on my Johnny, what about Jimmy, he did worse last week."

Get it?

That's really it. Can't claim to be "tough on crime" when you whine and threaten civil unrest over a search warrant.

Sure they can like Democrats and taking about democracy and elections after spending four years calling an elected president illegitimate. The parties depend on this double standard

Boo hoo your little wanna be gotcha blew up in your face so you pull out the whataboutism play to deflect from your failed argument. You have done it a lot lately. Maybe you need to reevaluate your positions if they keep getting smacked around so much

If Trump is their candidate, they will just fall back on whatever he wants.

Trying to convince folks to get vaccinated from a virus that was at the time killing thousands is bad but denying a woman her rights is good? Wow.

Tax cuts for the rich, loss of health care for everybody else. The usual.

I never made any mention of good or bad. Just pointed out that both parties are fine with telling others what they can with their body.

Most Democrats I know did not make any such claim.

What did push mandatory vaccines mean? The big bad government is forcing you to get vaccinated or am I mistaken?

Are you claiming Democrats did not claim trump was illegitimate?
 
Whatever the republican platform is, they won't write it down. Someone might try to hold them to it.
