Yes, he did. Google it.

But that was a change from Saturday, when there had been no boost. I wonder how much oversampling of democrats had to occur to provide this boost.

Small oversampling of blacks and Hispanics may have provided the boost.

"This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 714 general population adults age 18 or older with small oversamples among Black and Hispanic respondents."

The difference is that the RNC said so up front & explained why.
The DNC wrote an 80 page grievance ORANGE MAN BAD!!! And pretended it was a was Party Platform.
I read that 80 page Wish List ... about the only thing they missed was promising a maid to come clean my house daily .... FREE of course

Check out the DNC website — follow the Link to the DNC
Platform.

OMG

Party Platform
This party platform was voted on and passed by our membership at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in 2016. The platform will be updated and re-approved at the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

Except... they didn’t VOTE on it, the 80 page Wish List is a non-approved DRAFT
That’s probably why the DNC website shows the 2016 Platform.
You still didn't answer. Is the republican platform simply "Elect us - We'll tell you later what we're going to do."?

Or, as Dirty Harry would paraphrase it, "Are you feeling lucky today...?"

I would like to see the federal government help citizens create enormous class action lawsuits against politicians and municipalities that have broken the compact between taxpayers and the government. Citizens expect and demand protection from the very things they allow to go on and the only thing the feds can do is to get in their pocketbook.

If I was Trump, I'd highlight and double the efforts to lower prescription drug costs. Show the work. Show the effort. Define where the breakdowns are. I bet they are with democrats trying to deny Trump any victory in his term(s).

ANY policy is better than what the democrats have. They have zilch, nada.
Still no answer......

Anyone else?

Trump just made a speech where he said we'll get what we are getting today if we vote for Biden. If Biden wins, everything will be his fault from day one, but the difference is that Biden would actually accept the responsibility.

They actually have about 70 pages of platform online from 2016. It appears they are just repeating that one. They have been too busy fighting the pandemic to do a new one. OK, well maybe that is not the reason.
