To the Editor:

Re “A Most Extreme Republican Platform” (editorial, July 19):

I will not be holding my breath for a similar editorial on the Democratic platform when the Democratic convention begins. The move to far-left—some would say socialist—positions makes the Democratic platform at least as extreme as how The Times characterizes the Republican platform.
