-—Good - the GOP won’t win on the bathroom issue.

Exactly. The left loves trolling these issues to the right, and the right falls for it over and over again.

They will give up the war to fight an insignificant battle.

Sun Tzu teaches never attack directly. Always stage an insignifcant attack to distract. When your opponent moves his resources to defend the insignificant position, then you attack your main target.

The left does this very well to the right. They will throw out something like gay wedding cakes and bathrooms and the right will all but fall all over themselves taking the bait, but in doing so, turn off 75% of the voters.

Time and time again I see it happen.

The far right... standing on principle... losing the battle. Maybe it’s better to win the war and get HALF of what you want, instead of losing the war and getting NOTHING of what you want.

In Trumps case, his agenda is to bring back 90% of what I want. I’ll settle for that, the other 10% is waaaayyy down on my priority list.

It is time to be cold blooded like a Sun Tzu like general - if "issues" are soldiers - some have to be sacrificed so that the main army can advance.

Also, I will add the Republican establishment is using this also to trip up Trump - if Trump was for it the Establishment Republicans would condemn Trump for being inflexible and losing the mainstream vote and not "transitioning" to the middle. If Trump is OK with this then the Establishment attacks him for being "liberal" so he can lose evangelicals.

Trump chose the correct answer - don't go over to the social conservative base which is small and a loser on this issue. Transition over to the middle. Seem moderate. Deprive Hillary of this issue. Sacrifice a small issue to advance the main issue of borders and fair trade.

We are in a war to the death. Our people are under threat of replacement genocide by open borders and unfair trade.

This is a fight to the death. We don't have time for Podunk issues that affect not one person I ever heard of.

I repeat what I wrote before: ou have a greater chance of being killed by an illegal alien than seeing a trans person in a public restroom. You have a greater chance your job is outsourced than seeing a trans person in a bathroom. I live in NYC - in Manhattan no less - and I have never seen one in a public bathroom.

Thank you, bro. You get it. I think the GOPe will try and push a super duper social conservative agenda against Trump to maybe cut evangelical voters away from Trump to Cruz in the run up to the convention or force Trump to have to go right and make him seem unelectable as a conservative. Either result is designed to weaken Trump.

The Establishment GOP don't care about wining - they want to stop Trump by hook or crook. Of the two best answers Trump can give to minimize the damage it is to sacrifice the social agenda ultra right to pivot towards the middle. This is a fight to the death over Islam/borders and trade. That is all that matters.
