Searing takedown of 'high-schoolish' and 'all caps' GOP platform issued by ex-prosecutor

The Republican Party platform got a new look this week, and at least one former federal prosecutor is not a fan, deriding not only its "hollow" intention, but also its choice of caps lock.

The GOP platform made history when it passed Monday to cheers from former President Donald Trump, who praised committee members for ushering in his demands.

For the first time in over 40 years, the platform killed GOP support for a federal ban on abortion and declared the party would support in vitro fertilization.

On Tuesday, legal analyst Joyce Vance issued a searing takedown of the platform — and kicked off by attacking its sophomoric presentation.

"It’s all in caps, like they’re shouting at us," Vance wrote in her newsletter Civil Discourse. "The content and the form are high-schoolish. It reads as though someone who lacks substance tried to write bumper stickers or poster slogans that sound good but are empty — no one, Republican or Democrat, is going to 'seal' the border or 'stop' inflation."

The platform is empty and has a "hollow spirit," Vance adds, as it proclaims it will somehow "unite" the country by ushering in "new and record levels of success."

"It’s not that platforms are ever highly substantive, but this one hits new lows," she wrote.

Vance points out that while the platform is what Republicans will be fed, Project 2025 — organized by Trump's own allies — is the overhauling playbook — the meat of what Trump's second term will look like.

And unlike the platform, which stripped out the party's long-held opposition to abortion, it's still very much a part of Project 2025.

"It includes a national abortion ban—forget about states’ rights," notes Vance.

And that's not all.

The platform calls for higher taxes on the middle class and raising the retirement age for Social Security.

"It’s those unpopular parts of Project 2025 that are absent from or contradicted by the Republican platform, the part they show the public," she said. "But Project 2025 is squarely Trump’s, written by his people. Eighty-one percent of them held formal roles connected to the Trump presidency."

Vance later said Americans live in a time of a "perfect storm" ripe for the fall of Democracy, and "squarely at the intersection of law and politics, and it is not a comfortable place to be."
