The Republican National Committee has decided to rerun its 2016 platform. Some planks will be ... awkward.

"Our national debt is a burden on our economy and families. The huge increase in the national debt demanded by and incurred during the current Administration has placed a significant burden on future generations."/1/

"We support the right of the United States citizens of Puerto Rico to be admitted to the Union as a fully sovereign state." /2/

"Crony capitalism gives us special interest tax breaks, custom-designed regulations, and special exemptions for favored parties."/3/

"We further affirm that courts should interpret laws as written by Congress rather than allowing executive agencies to rewrite those laws to suit administration priorities."/4/

"A new administration must ensure the immediate dismissal and, where appropriate, prosecution of any Department officials who have violated their oath of office."/5/

"The next president must restore the public's trust in law enforcement and civil order by first adhering to the rule of law himself. "/6/

"The current Administration has abandoned America's friends and rewarded its enemies." /7/

“The current Administration has exceeded its constitutional authority, brazenly and flagrantly violated the separation of powers, sought to divide America into groups and turn citizen against citizen.” /8/

“The President has refused to defend or enforce laws he does not like, used executive orders to enact national policies in areas constitutionally reserved solely to Congress...” /9/

“Our most urgent task as a Party is to restore the American people's faith in their government by electing a president who will enforce duly enacted laws, honor constitutional limits on executive authority, and return credibility to the Oval Office.” /10/
