I wouldn't be surprised if the 2016 platform looks more like this than the 1996 platform.

Except for one thing. Something about invading Mexico to keep illegal immigrants out of America.

Ehh, I removed a point about Mexico in my post. It's my opinion that illegal immigration would significantly decrease if Mexico and other Latin American countries were safe and full of opportunities. I'm not sure the best way to accomplish that. I don't think you can throw money at the problem, but military intervention seems like an even worse solution.

It won't. I guarantee it. I know a few higher ups in the party. My buddy runs the ground game for the NRA in a few states. It'll probably look more like when Regan ran, rhetoric is golden esp with Russia waking up and China being more aggressive. A strong foreign policy president is something they desperately need but he also has to be moderate.

Yeah, if things continue to go the way they are going someone with who shows they have strong foreign policy skills would easily be the best choice. Not sure who that person would be though.

Immigration is a highly charged rhetoric issue, and the GOP base has been "betrayed" on it again and again, so I think it'll be a little more red meaty than in the past. I was exaggerating a tiny bit. Rick Perry seems to be contemplating heading that route though.

Socialism is bad, big government is bad. As such, bye bye social security and Medicare, food stamps and government assisted ANYthing. If you needed help, you should just get a job. If it doesn't pay enough, get a better job. Besides, if you're so poor, how do you own a refrigerator?

It's now illegal to be homeless. Poor people are lazy, so anyone homeless just didn't work hard enough, and will now be rounded up and shot. Your family will be billed for the bullets because why should we be on the hook because you were a poor?

The affordable care act is gone. The government has absolutely no business being in your healthcare. This applies to everyone who is not female. Women will now be shot if they have an abortion because abortion is MURDER, so is taking the pill. Preventing pregnancies is now considered murder. God said so.

With socialism gone, we can fill up the ism-cup with more of our favorite, capitalism! Since companies are just people that want the best for you, they're now totally free to do whatever! Don't like it? Just don't buy it. It's not our fault if you only have one choice.

Gay people are scary, they also only count as like, a few percentage of the population, so their rights no longer matter and they can't marry any more because it hurts baby Jesus. We're also going back to just two genders, because what the fuck!? Women wear pink and make sandwiches and can't throw a baseball. Also, women aren't allowed to drink alcohol anymore because it could get them raped and then we'd have to kill them because they made an otherwise God-fearing man commit a sin.

Sick of them Mexicans jumping over our fence, so I just have a taller, thicker fence built. This will ensure no harm comes to Texas (God bless Texas) when I nuke everything south of the border into a smoking crater. Bye bye TB problem.

Creationism is bullshit. We only offered that up to make it sound sort of legit to those fucking scientist people (global warming is outlawed by the way... Not so much anything that causes it, since it's obviously made up BS, but the mentioning of it, because it's made up BS), schools, which are now only private or home based, will teach the truth. God did it, the end.

Hobby Lobby on EVERY corner.

Hobby Lobby now serves chic-fil-a!

More war!

Yeah, I don't know who that would be either, if Hillary runs that'll be a lot of trouble but i'll really fire up the conservative base. The REAL danger is if Hillary doesn't run. The Democrats have a really big vault of huge foreign policy candidates they could support this election.

The first thing I'd do is defund those goddamn hippie, heathen scum at PBS. Then I would pass out 315 million pairs of bootstraps and tell people to get ready to shovel their own shit, driving the country into bankruptcy in the process. Then I'd shut the government down and drop the mic.

I'd abolish all party politics. If ANYONE show any signs of partisan politics, they get a bullet in the head.

I'd also round up lobbyists and have them kill each other in a Hunger Games style competition. The winner gets what they lobbied for.

Let's start with those two.

This sounds suspiciously like a party platform...
