No, not the shoes. The party platforms.
No, not the fun parties.
The Presidential Democratic and Republican Party Platforms. These go beyond what the Presidential Candidates say in their stump speeches. The platforms go beyond any one candidate. These are the statements re-written every four years that describes in detail the official principles, policy stances, and priorities of the party. The Democratic Platform is 51 pages long. The Republican Platform is 59 pages. They both have table of contents.
I’m going to read them both. Yes, I am. Cuz, you know what? I’m going to vote in November like I do every year. And you know what else? There are more than just Hilary and Donald duking it out.
I’ll report back next week. Interested? I hope so.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of hearing insults and accusations. I’m a woman who believes in a vision. I think we should have objectives and solid goals. I’m all about milestones along the way. Where are we going? And how are we going to get there.
It sounds daunting, but, hey, it’s just a little over 100 pages altogether. I can do it this weekend and frost 75 cupcakes, ice wedding anniversary cake, and make a birthday cake that looks like a giant Oreo Cookie.
Yes, I can.
