You have a republican candidate that has said openly that he does NOT agree with his party's platform, and it's like crickets... ****

Frankly, I don't see this as "caving" or "flip flopping" I see it as a Party that actually IS Democratic, like the name says. they realized that many in the Party were unhappy at the omission, and they took a VOTE. How utterly spineless, right? WRONG.

Unlike the Bullshit RNC platform that would horrify most of the true conservatives, the Democrats have a platform that the majority of Dems can support, and IS inclusive.

This is another bullshit story...
