How many former Republican Presidents were at the RNC to support fmr Pres Trump's nomination?

In 3 conventions, there hasn't been a single former GOP President nor Vice President to attend in support of Donald Trump. Hell, his OWN VP didn't attend this year and continues to openly tell Americans that Trump has proven his unfitness for office due to his conduct surrounding and including January 6, 2021 when he tried to overturn the will of the American voters by instituting an insurrection riot at the Capitol.

the Democratic presidential nominee is likely to face increased scrutiny of her policy proposals

I get so tired of the "policy" canards that I can't see straight, especially when coming form those already committed to Trump - the candidate with NO PLATFORM for the second consecutive election cycle. Questioning what precisely are Harris' policies ignores that which is manifestly clear in U.S. Government: A President can only propose, Congress has to ascent to any and everything - including bringing any legislation to the floor of the House and Senate where the minority party can kill any bill as long as the legislative filibuster remains intact.

And on top of this, the world we live in changes by the minute, not just days, weeks, months, or years. All Presidents have to be ready to tack at a moment's notice, and what they say today may become moot or counterproductive based on changing events beyond their control.

All any voter needs to know about Kamala Harris has already been said over and over again. If it's something to improve the lives, health, and wellbeing of the majority of Americans and their families (not just the wealthy in service of discredited trickle-down fantasies) through the assistance of the government, she's for it. If it's something to make this nation more secure within our borders, while in concert making sure we treat migrants with the dignity deserved towards people willing to travel thousands of miles by foot simply to try and provide a better life for themselves and their children, she'll likely support and champion it. If it's supporting our democratic allies as they stand against the tyranny of dictators and autocrats who're trying to undermine the legitimacy of self determination, then she'll be the warrior we need should battles need to be joined. If not, then she'll always stand for peaceful discourse over armed conflict, and for peoples to come to rational agreements instead of reaching for their weapons when disputes and arguments arise.

She wants the best for all Americans regardless of where they come from and what they believe to be their individual roles in this experiment called America. She will protect the vulnerable from the predators - as she's successfully done as a life-long prosecutor and particularly as California's Attorney General who successfully sued companies taking financial advantage of unknowing citizens. She go to be at night thinking about what's best for you and your neighbors and wake up the next day focused on the same. She'll do the very best that she can given the circumstances of the moment with the eternal caveat - she's not superhuman, she's fallible. Do not expect perfection or every decision to be the one that you might make. But if our course needs to change, she will not stubbornly cling to a decision because of her ego, she'll recalibrate as necessary, something most non-egocentric people rationally do.

What she won't do is lie incessantly, whine and complain about how everything is so unfair towards her. She won't scapegoat others for her own faults, failures, and shortcomings. She won't try to pit one group of Americans against another group simply for her own political benefit. She will not demand cultish devotion nor speak of others in juvenile nicknames and pejoratives, fully aware when seeking to reach consensus an effective leader must give respect in order to gain respect in return.

In a nutshell, her "policies" are to respect that every American was born with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, not to be abridged by how others view anyone's choices as long as they don't violate other laws or restrictions tied to actual public safety concerns. And lastly she'll govern to serve the interests of "The People" not just her campaign's major donor's and supporter's wishes. IOW, she'll be a decent person that you'll be proud to call your President, not an attention-seeking buffoon, with one foot in front of the law and another ready to boot said laws if given the power and opportunity no American should ever have - to become the sole judge and jury of one's own illegal conduct.

It's clear they never real republicans to begin with.

It's clear that you have no idea what a "Republican" has historically been. Trump is NOT a Republican, has NEVER been a Republican, and will never be a Republican.

Trump is a narcissistic sociopath and cult leader with autocratic tendencies willing to destroy America's belief in constitutional government and the Rule of Law. None of the aforementioned behaviors are tenets of the Republican Party prior to Donald Trump's takeover of the complete apparatus.

The people above are the REAL REPUBLICANS because their issues with Trump transcend politics and are based on his manifest unfitness for holding the highest office in America only to make his federal criminal indictments go away by exploiting the immense powers granted the POTUS to place his criminality above the law.

If being a Republican today means that constitutional laws don't apply for holding them accountable, alliances and treaties are optional, and half of this nation's populace should be viewed as enemies if they dare disagree with Trump and Trumpism when our Constitution mandates that every citizen retains equal rights to all others, and lastly that the office of the President is one where the occupant is free to enrich himself and his family businesses regardless of what the Emoluments Clause states, then the 8 above absolutely aren't Republicans.

But you've got it backwards. Being a supporter of Trump is the antithesis of what being a Republican has always been up until Trump. In truth, Trump is the RINO, not his critics from within the established party's historical foundation.
