Jared Kushner apparently has the idea of reducing the size of the GOP platform to an index card. It sounds a bit like the old plan to put the tax form on a postcard, which didn’t exactly work out. Can this be more successful?
Absolutely! Here’s an idea for a one-word platform:
TRUMP!
Hey, why say anything more than that? The real GOP platform is to agree with anything that pops into the brilliant mind of the man on golf cart at any given moment. Traditional ideas like balanced budgets, free trade, and support for liberal democracies and the rule of law are out of date. Why not just rely on the name and be done with it?
OK, so you want a little more substance. How’s this:
REAL AMERICANS!
CULTURE WARS!
TAX CUTS!
DEREGULATION!
BUILD THE WALL!
That’s ten words. It’s enough to exhaust a man who only reads bullet points. Anything more, to him, would look like “War and Peace.”
