Republican Platform Set To Include Trump’s Border Wall

Source: HuffPo



Republican Party officials drafting the GOP platform have voted to include presumptive nominee Donald Trump’s plans to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, less than a week before the party’s convention.

The platform, if approved, will support a wall that covers “the entirety of the Southern Border and must be sufficient to stop both vehicular and pedestrian traffic,” according to The Hill.

The proposal faces a vote by the full RNC next week in Cleveland before it is formally adopted, Politico notes. But the language approved on Tuesday drew no opposition.

Trump has been scorned for his proposal to deport 11 million people and build a border wall, which he claims Mexico will pay for. Mexico’s president said there was “no way” the country would comply with such a demand. The GOP platform proposal doesn’t include the stipulation.

As I often like to say, the Republican Party is a melting peanut butter cup: a thin layer of evil desperately trying to contain the oozing stupid inside.

(Edit: Now that they're making a comeback, the metaphor would be better as a Mallow Cup: a thin layer of evil containing an ALL WHITE stupid inside.)
