(869 posts)29. As per B T C.....
The latest podcast by Brian Taylor Cohen says that the Republicans finally released their platform.... promise to America, or something like that.
Much of it was economic, but if you listen to Brian's commentary, it's mostly BS. Things like I'm going to bring prices back down to pre covid days, get rid of all the immigrants, bring back all manufacturing, tariffs, etc.
There isn't a chance in hell that it will work, just more red meat for the base.

Has to call it a 'discussion' because calling it a rally would show he is now a total failure drawing big rally crowds

Boring is right. We've been watching this same movie on repeat for almost a decade at this point.
