I must have missed the huge crowds of young folk & people of different ethnic, religious, and racial backgrounds coming together to cheer on whatever old dude, bleach blond, fundamental Christian, or businessman the party put forth to tell them that burning more fossil fuels is the best course of action because, although they aren't a scientist, they know all the scientists in over 200 respected professional organizations devoted to science are wrong; they should be happy with less than a living wage and no benefits because, well, "trickle down" and "right to work" of course; that healthcare and a post-secondary education is something that should be limited to the wealthy, if not the very wealthy; that more unregulated guns make more people more safe; that voting is for rich folk; that anyone who doesn't fit a romanticized 1950's Leave it to Beaver stereotype is less than human and should be ostracized, etc, etc, etc...

Yep -- surely didn't see that. 

You have read the GOP platform?
