Before the 2016 election, I diced apart the platforms of both the Democratic and Republican parties. This year, I’m rehashing the Republican Party Platform to see what’s been done in this first year of a Republican President, as well as a Republic majority in the House and the Senate.
This installment covers the Republican section entitled “A Rebirth of constitutional Government.” If you want a look back to 2016, enter “Party Platform” in the search bar. If you want a reminder of what I’ve done so far in 2017, search for “State of the Union.”
The introduction of this section explains that the Republicans believe that government exists first and foremost to protect our inalienable rights. So The Republicans fine that preferences, quotas, and set-asides are forms of discrimination.
As in the previous two installments, just so I can keep everything straight, I put the information into a simple chart, like I would for corporate goals. This is also the way CoCo’s Individual Education Plans got laid out, too. Pretty easy to understand; I think: We will______________ by_____________ so that______________ happens.
I added Bold Red in the middle column for a status update. (I used Blue Bold for action contrary to the Platform.)
In most cases, my source is GovTrack.us. I noted other sources, so you can take a look for yourself.
