If my political science-major education was worth anything, I think I remember that before the convention, this is just the PROPOSED platform. The platform gets voted on at the convention, where it usually swings far to the left or right depending on which convention youre at. The party platform is where the extremists in the party like to exert their control.
Example; many republicans, especially younger ones are pro-choice. That would never make its way into the party platform. No way. Becasue the extremists have control of the platform.
