On Friday's regular "Shields and Brooks" segment on the PBS NewsHour, pretend conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks slammed the North Carolina bathroom law -- which tries to protect women and girls from men intruding into women's restrooms in state buildings -- as he declared that the law is "so bad now I have to praise Donald Trump" for the GOP candidate's criticism of the law on NBC's Today show.
He went on to complain that the Republican party "should have moved on" from "1980s socially conservative culture war politics," and concluded by lauding "moderate" Trump as "not stuck in Jerry Falwell land."
PBS host Judy Woodruff raised the issue:
One of the things that he said in I guess it was on the Today show yesterday, David, is he was asked about this North Carolina LGBT law, the public using public bathrooms, and he basically said that the Republican governor shouldn't have changed the law, that he should have left it the way it was, and now conservatives -- Ted Cruz and others -- are coming back to say this is not the Republican position.
Brooks began his analysis sounding like a liberal:
Yeah, so that law is so bad now I have to praise Donald Trump, you know, and so he's right. I mean, he made the obvious point: Is this really a problem here? Like, are there a lot of bathrooms in North Carolina where people are scared to go in. I don't think this is a problem. This is 1980s socially conservative culture war politics: Pick some issue that seems like something changing in the sexual revolution and try to mobilize the conservative base on the basis of it. That's what it is.
He then added:
And Donald Trump, to his credit, doesn't play that game. He's moved on, as the Republican party should have moved on. He's playing a different game. And so, to his credit, he's not playing that game. Now, it should be said, people are saying, "Oh, he's socially moderate." He's socially moderate but not in the way liberal Republicans are socially moderate or moderate Republicans are. He's socially moderate in a populist way, which is a different sort of moderation, but it does end up moderate on a lot of social issues. And to his credit, he's just not stuck in the culture war. He's not stuck in Jerry Falwell land.
You have to go a long way to get Brooks - PBS’s ‘conservative’ - to take a conservative position.
The fact that Trump took a goon interview that he knew would be loaded with gotcha questions (designed to stop momentum on the heels of NY blowout) would lean towards Manafort strategy of pivoting now.
But I'm inclined to disagree if only to say if it has inherited and dispelled that 80s-one-issue role in one fell stroke so be it (noting here I despise Brooks); at any rate, it had far more to do with Trump knowing he could cost himself building permits in 19 states (state's rights, right Tedlims?) that permit trans-tripping restrooms.
That is what some Trump supporters say, but I am not obliged to agree with them.
No, you are not.
We can continue to allow millions of fraudulently documented foreigners to flood our country.
It won’t be good for anybody.
If he did, would he be on PBS?
How about restrooms based on chromosomal makeup?
One room for “XX” and one for “XY”? Simple.
I hope Donald stays on point: build the wall, send the illegals home, bring the jobs back, serve the US Citizen, not the Eurpeans.
Everything new is designed to wreck Republican chances of winning
Does Jazz still have his gear? Then Jazz goes to the men’s room.
Simple. No need to expose little girls to Jazz - Jazz if free to be who he wants but his crotch determines who he is.

I am not a Cruz guy and all your name calling and innuendo cannot make it so. I just don’t want to see another narcissist in the White House or Trannies trying to shower with my grand daughters in school. These are very simple equations.
How can one merely stating a fact be turned into being accused of being ‘conned’ and being a ‘fanboy’ (whatever the hell that is)?
Donald Trump is scholastically a genius.
You people need to get a grip. This bitterness is gong to eat you up inside.
Scholastically a genius? You mean like St. Thomas Aquinas, Newton, Einstein or Milton Friedman? I think you need to get a grip on reality.
Rough week for ya, hey?
Not especially
At least I am not struggling torationalize my support for a candidate who is trying to campaign to the left of Hillary.
Code words deciphered. Message received. Good luck.
