My thoughts (as a Trump supporter):
Abortion for rape: Non-issue. If a woman is raped, she has the Supreme Court right to have an abortion (no different than any other way of conceiving). This issue certainly tells people where a person’s heart is, but it still will never have a policy impact.
Increased taxes on the rich: Depends on one’s definition of rich. Trump, at least in the past, was talking about taxing his multi-millionaire hedge-fund neighbors that are using carried interest to scam the system. While many here oppose increasing taxes on anyone, for any reason (even to make roads driveable), I personally have NO SYMPATHY for this bunch, as they gave us the 2008 crash and NOT ONE OF THEM has been held accountable. Now if Trump is moving down the pay scale with higher taxes, then I’ll start paying attention.
Bathroom Law: He blew it. But even so, if this election is handed to Hillary because of Trump’s position on the bathroom law, then we deserve the country that we get.
Don’t know how to post a link but Beth Still #812 has an interesting video on you tube about the bathroom controversy in light of the threats we face from ISIS.
“Bathroom Law: He blew it.”
I don’t agree.
I DISAGREE with Trump (I certainly don’t want men using women’s bathrooms or vice versa), but I don’t agree he blew it. If he had answered otherwise, it would have given the media the biggest down-the-center-of-the-plate pitch they’ve ever had, and they would have used it to propagandize the issue and paint Trump as a bigoted neo-Nazi troglodyte. Trump’s attitude on the issue was “I don’t really care about this and... why are we paying attention to this ANYWAY?” - which might cost him voters among the hard right, but gain him MORE voters among the moderates.
