What does Donald Trump have to do with the actions of a California legislator that resides some 3,000 miles from Washington DC?

The Dems have a coalition of the fringes. Their problem is that Hispanics don’t much like gay people. If they champion gays at the expense of Hispanics, some Hispanics will peel away and either not vote or vote GOP.
Dollars to donuts, the kid wrote it herself.
Your poor snowflake daughter. How horrible for her. Make sure you don't show her this thread. It would probably throw her into catatonia.
