The 2016 Republican platform is officially less in line with what Americans want than was the 1956 Republican platform. Shouldn’t conservatives be embarassed that their party has moved backward in pretty much every way? We’re starting to get a clearer picture of the 2016 Republican Platform – and it’s absolutely insane.

Charles Sauer, Danielle Blevins, & Neil McCabe join Thom Hartmann to discuss this.
