Who and what should determine what our party's 2016 platform says?

[Ken Burch]

Corollary questions:

"If the platform is based solely on what whoever the nominee ends up being wants, with no real input from rank and file people at the platform hearings or the convention delegates themselves, will our platform end up saying anything that matters?"

"Is there any point in having a platform if it's bland, inoffensive and 'safe'?"

1. I don't think candidates pay much attention to the Party platform,

but I think it should be hashed out at the convention.

2. The platform matters for about 24 hours... unless it says something really stupid. n/t

3. Me

I should decide.

It's a good question and I appreciate that you asked. In all reality, the 1% decide and that's it.
