The Republican Party will officially select its presidential nominee at next week's Republican National Convention in Cleveland. That means this is the week they'll spend arguing in a big meeting about the things that they, the party delegates and officials, believe Republicans should stand for—aka the party platform. As you might imagine, the meeting is kind of hilarious.
Molly Ball, who writes about politics for The Atlantic, is there live-tweeting it and shared a few gems. Here's what happened when the party was debating whether or not they should make legalizing certain forms medical marijuana part of the platform.
And this was one delegate's argument against doing that.
Aaaand medical marijuana will not be something Republicans say they care about for the next four years.
Okay, moving on. How about the failed war on drugs? Are Republicans ready to start working on that?
Is someone really going to argue against doing that? Answer: yep.
So what did they decide?
Alright, Republicans, one more chance to surprise someone.
Can you guess where this is going?
And here we have it.
Do you, GOP. Do you.
