This issue is a no-brainer and it would have been laughable even just 2 years ago. I'm disappointed that Trump didn't hit this slider out of the park. If he would have just said men belonged in men's restrooms and women belonged in women's, his poll numbers would have skyrocketed to the point where Cruz would have been begging to be Trump's running mate.

Trump's handlers are very smart on this issue.

He is going to need to pivot, hard, to the left in preparation for winning the general. Giving away all the social issues reduces his target size.

He doesn't need the conservative base anymore, after all, what are they going to do, allow the Hildabeast to win?

And I'm being really serious here...looking at this situation with Realpolitik, he has to do what he has to do. I don't particularly like it, but I do understand it. Virtually all presidential candidates go through the same transformation.

So you are saying it’s a timing thing? I’m not sure I give him that much credit. Seems to me anyone down for men attracted to women in the women’s bathroom isn’t going to be voting pub anyhow.

A new law wasn’t needed, and by N. Carolina making one, it unfortunately now puts this whole matter within the various Courts’ purview, including eventually, the Supreme Court one day.

Trump was right. Should have left the subject alone. It wasn’t broke and didn’t need fixing. Now it is into the Court system. And the Libs will take it and run with it, right up to the Supreme Court. Bad move, a really bad move to create more law, because now we will get it indeed, and if the latest Supreme Court’s track record is any indication, it will be bad law.

So you think the majority of voters are fine with men in women’s bathrooms and locker rooms?
