Because, as every conservative knows, the culture doesn't matter. If Trump won't stand up to a small number of perverts trying to do something that all rational people know is wrong, how will he ever deal with the forces that will align against him when he wants to build a wall.....or negotiate trade deals with communist tyrants, or stand up to Muslim terrorists and on and on.
No, it's not a distraction and is isn't something that can be ignored. The true Trump spoke here and he needs to be held accountable.
Thank you. I just love how people who never gave a damn for conservatism before are now coming in to redefine it for those who have been conservatives all along, and telling us that social conservatism doesn’t matter.
