Yeah, he called that one wrong and it was an easy one.
Compared to deportation, the wall, and banning Muslims - he had the pulse of the people with those.
OTOH - perhaps he is taking talking points away from Hillary. This bathroom thing is likely not anyone’s #1 issue.
That could be it... Trump is trying to signal that this shouldn’t be considered a huge deal.
The problem is, I think it is a huge deal in terms of its subjective impact.
I’d say let Hillary try to stump for this. It will prove poison to her candidacy. In the meantime Trump can be all 10th Amendment about it, and will smell like a rose from a constitutional point of view. A president who sees a bigger role for the states is going to be welcome to constitutional aficionados.
DEFINITELY not anyone’s number 1 issue!!
the polls are basically 50/50 so certainly no harm done.
