Well, why do we need or want a candidate who so frequently makes “convoluted, off-the-cuff statements”(your words), and then has to “clarify” them as our nominee?
It’s part of the package of having a candidate who isn’t afraid to enter enemy territory, doesn’t have ‘handlers’ and doesn’t have canned, prepared answers. He’s not a career politician. It can be refreshing sometimes and maddening other times.
What I got from what Trump said was that neither side of the issue should have been passing any laws, because there was never a problem with this to begin with.
I agree with that sentiment, but I also recognize the agenda behind the gay movement that created the issue.
Trump is a problem solver, not an ideological guy, so he might just look at the issue as a problem to be solved rather than an ideological agenda. If you look at Trump’s answer in that context, it makes a little more sense. He basically came down to “Let’s get all these people in a room and see if we can hash out something that everyone can feel okay with”, which is what a problem solver does.
As for potty talk: Nobody’s gonna be checking for a schnozz under dresses, so if a tranny is even close to passable as a woman, he/she/it will use the woman’s bathroom and nobody is the wiser. That is as it has always been. If there is disruption or abuse, there are already laws to deal with that and no new laws are necessary.
The movement’s goal is really to erase gender and cause general havoc in society and it should be carefully fought. I think the North Carolina law that will certainly be overturned by the USSC was a hamfisted way of dealing with it. We need to be smarter than that.
