Leadership brings people in anyway. And I say it's an easy win. As you know, people are fed up with the forced-unreality of "transgenderism" or whatever. It's just the latest crap from the snowflakes, and we need to say No, just as with immigration. They're children, and you have to tell them No.
Trump should have no hesitation saying that our DOJ is wasteful and legally wrong for going after a state law that the duly elected authorities feel will protect their citizens. It's a layup for liberty and common sense. Let the Dems tick everyone off by arguing that the President has to be a perverted nanny.
It seems foolish in the extreme to go after the DOJ at this point when he will be appointing all new people. The fact that the DOJ is so out of line will help to bring people out to vote in Nov.
Have you watched Manafort speak? One of the reasons he does so well is that he sticks to the main points and refuses to get drawn into specifics such as how Hillary Clinton injured the women Bill assaulted.
Once you open an area for discussion you do not control the direction of the discussion and the Left uses the opportunity to lie & spin. They already paint the GOP as hating LGBT, women, Blacks, Hispanics, Muslim etc. The Left is neither logical, fair nor principled. Giving them ammunition may feel like standing up for your beliefs but its like the British who lost the war by standing up in plain view to be slaughtered while the Americans fought more flexibly and won.
The majority of Americans agree with socially conservative beliefs and once Trump is in office rolling back the bureaucracy we will start to dismantle the mess the Liberals have made. States will be free to have the 10 commandments on view; we will be able to judge people on their achievements and character.
