The Republican Party will not have a platform beyond "We support Donald Trump." Ideally - and increasingly, I doubt this ideal - voters make informed decisions on voting based on their understanding of how a candidate's agenda reflects their own needs and values. Right? That's how democracy should work. Instead, the modern GOP has become an apparatus for Dear Leader. While there are a growing numbers of FORMER GOP figures who are willing to go on record and endorse Biden (or at least refuse to endorse Trump) there is no one who wants to have a future in GOP politics who will create any daylight between themselves and Hair Furor.
A majority of Republicans think Covid has been handled well. A supermajority of Republicans think the country is better off now than four years ago. The GOP Convention will be a parade of sycophants and family members better representing an election in some distant despotic realm. It's unbelievable, except it's also the end point of Republican politics of the past 50 years.
