Fox News: David Bossie: Republican vs. Democratic 2020 platforms will lay out clear choice for voters in Nov.
With less than four months to go until Election Day, Nov. 3 is starting to get “awfully big in the window,” to paraphrase Tom Hanks in the movie “Apollo 13.”
Next month Republicans and Democrats will hold their national conventions to formally nominate their candidates for president and to conduct party business. Although this year’s conventions will look much different than usual on account of the COVID-19 pandemic, essential party functions will still take place. One noteworthy difference this year will be the party platforms. Because Gov. Roy Cooper, D-N.C., played politics, Republicans changed the location of their convention from Charlotte to Jacksonville and will keep the successful America First platform from 2016 intact. On the Democratic side, it is yet to be determined exactly how they will debate their radical left-wing 2020 platform.
Due to the coronavirus and a lack of traditional campaigning by President Trump and his Democrat opponent former Vice President Joe Biden, this year the party platforms will take on much greater significance than usual and the American people would be wise to take a serious look.
After all, only one candidate — President Trump — is regularly answering questions from the press and fully engaging in the national debate in the midst of the unforgettable summer of 2020. Former Vice President Joe Biden on the other hand is rolling the dice with what I call the “Tahiti strategy” of staying away from the campaign trail and only coming up for air from his basement when absolutely necessary. With this enormous in-kind corporate contribution from his allies in the liberal media, Biden is getting the largest free pass we’ve seen in modern history.
