It's funny because he'll blame his loss on Trump, but like, did anybody even read the pathetic platform his party put forth? Or the batshit insane and contradictory governing docs they have - I especially recommend checking out their Policy Declaration.

I mean, to be fair to his voters, he didn't really give them much time to read it before the election....

I don't know how to enforce it, but written, costed, fully explained platforms should be mandatory to appear on a ballot, and they should be required a full 7+ days before the advance polls close.

In a sane world, noone would vote for a party that submits it's homework at the 11th hour, or not at all.

Not saying youre wrong, just reminding you how polls only 2 months ago looked like; I don't think his voters care and I don't think the voters that changed their position did so because of the party's platform.
