Unfortunately, semantics games matter in politics. Trump's strategy is as stated above, to expose the hypocrisies and failings of the Republic coalition strategy. Social science exclusively uses the past to make projections. In this case, the electoral coalition that elected Reagan and came out of the Goldwater disaster
no longer exists. This is why platform is not nearly as important as you, or CroFlames are making it out to be. In fact, I can't really think of any platform that would be effective for a Republican candidate at this stage in the game. None of them are virtuous enough to create one that is believable.
Sanders so-called platform is just a re-appeal of the FDR legacy of the party.
