   I'm personally willing to wait a bit more than two weeks. After all, in   
   2020 the Republican party had NO platform for their convention, and   
   Trump supporters were just fine with that. And I suspect few Trump   
   supporters will vote for Harris no matter what her platform says.

   On the other hand, a number of conservative groups may vote for Harris   
   even if Trump supporters don't.
