I think Trump’s statement was just right. This whole “issue” is what someone on Fox (I forget, Tucker Carlson maybe?) last night aptly called “a solution looking for a problem”. Nobody can come up with any report of an actual incident where a transsexual entered a ladies’ bathroom.
The only reason Trump was asked the question was because leftists love to try to force Republicans to go on record about sensitive issues such as abortion, same sex marriage, transexuality, etc. They are called ‘wedge issues’ because there is no answer that will not offend one side or the other.
During the primary season, Republicans are asked these questions with the expectation that they will pander to the conservative base by taking the strictest possible conservative position, such as no abortions, no exceptions, or no same sex marriage, no accommodations for transsexuals.
Then, these statements will later be used during the general election to cast the Republican nominee as too far right, religious right, extreme, wanting the government to invade the bedroom (in this case the bathroom).
Trump avoids these traps but Cruz walks right in, trying to prove he is the most conservative, with these weird attempts at humor.
Each time Cruz thinks he scored some points with one of these exchanges, the polls show him further diminished, as people, even the most conservative, realize just how unelectable he really is.
I agree with your post, but for one thing.
These recent crazed statements are telling me that Cruz is trying to fake being a conservative.
I could be wrong, but the more he talks, the more he sounds like a parody.
That’s crazy. There are reports all over the place of men entering female restrooms.
