This is a winning issue for Republicans...if they can correctly explain what is actually happening. Republicans usually can't do that. In many cases it's because they and their advisors are all RINO's and they don't even know what's going on. If a Republican is prepared to stick to their position and is able to explain in an understandable and fairly detailed way, they can gain votes on it.

I don't think Trump will start waffling on this, but I don't know that he can explain the details. He's not good at that. If you listen to DeWine you will think he was just following the "experts" when he vetoed the bill. Republicans who are on the conservative side need to be able to hit back at that idiocy. I don't know if this will even be a major issue in the 2024 race, but if it is, the media/Democrat line will be that Trump is against "science". Trump probably won't have an answer to that.

DeWine was one of McCain’s butt-boys when he was in the Senate.

I keep thinking of the line from The Agony and the Ecstasy: "When DeWine is sour, throw it out" 😏

There’s a post on zerohedge stating that he took $40K in contributions from pro-trans hospitals.

“Ohio’s ‘Republican’ governor, Mike DeWine, took over $40,000 from hospitals which prescribe puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children, before vetoing a bill that would outlaw puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for children.”

Link redacted.

Welp, I stand corrected. There is apparently at least one RINO willing to sell out children’s wellbeing for Big Pharma $$.

I didn’t think even he could sink that low.

“Many parents have told me that their child would not have survived — would be dead today — if they had not received the treatment they received from one of Ohio’s children’s hospitals.”

Idiot fell for the fake suicide narrative, as so many parents do. "Do you want a living daughter or a dead son?!?"

Where is Nikki Haley on this veto? Silent? If so, very telling.

“These are truly complex issues, and reasonable people draw vastly different conclusions,” DeWine said during a press conference Friday.
***********************************************************

BS! BS! BS! There is NOTHING “complex” about removing a young girls breasts or other body parts (on male or female) on the say so of ANYBODY under ANY circumstances..........at a minimum until the person is 21 years old! This includes parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dewine is either bought and paid for, being blackmailed or he is a pervert like the radical lefty promoters of this nazi issue are.

Doctors performing such surgery should be locked up in the Supermax in Colorado across the hall from the parents.

Insurance companies providing insurance for such operations should be sued with no cap on damages.

Locally it is thought his financial support by Childrens Hospital in Cincinnati is the problem. For my part, he is Jeb Bush in an Elmer Fudd costume.

This is why Trump’s role is rightly Leader and President. These people wrap themselves into the weeds about this possibility or that. Trump is wide eyed about what this is about to him and says it. This would have stopped men playing in women’s sports. End of conversation. If you feel there is some specific, narrow scenario that needs to be addressed that is the exception and not the rule. Trump is a great messenger for the issue exactly BECAUSE he won’t get into the weeds on the issue.

DeWine is a typical waffling RINO, playing both sides of the street in the usual cowardly RINO way, trying to avoid angering the left wing nuts.
This is actually a very simple thing to understand.
There is no such thing as ‘transgender’.
The entire concept is either a mental illness or a sexual fantasy, neither of which is appropriate policy in government.
It’s time to tell the truth. If you’re not sure what you are, look at your birth certificate. If that doesn’t clear things up, then look between your legs.
You are either one or the other, you cannot be both and you cannot change the biology of how you were born, no matter how much someone may have persuaded you otherwise.
If a person has an overwhelming desire to identify as something other than what they are, refer back to the first explanation; it is either a mental illness or a sexual fantasy.
Underage minors are not allowed to enter into binding legal agreements because they do not have the maturity to make life-changing decisions. This is the law of the land in all 50 states. Nothing is more life changing than having your genitalia mutilated before you understand their purpose in the first place.
The sexual mutilation of underage children is a criminal offense, but America has a two tier justice system that allows left wing idiots a pass on such enormously important issues such a this.
We need to stop this mutilation, and prosecute and incarcerate the sexually deviant dirt bags doing this to America’s children, not give them a pass like the phony republican DeWine.

Well since only a small number of Ohio children are affected I guess it will be alright.

Does anyone know if Ohio has a veto override provision? And if there are enough votes to do this?
