“So opposing transgender restroom rights derailed Ted in Indiana? Does anyone actually believe that?”
I don’t think it is the fact that he opposed it that turns people off.
It’s the way he always states his position on an issue in the context of what he claims “Donald’s” position is.
It’s obvious right away that he cares more about trying to make Trump look bad than he does about the issue itself.
So he manages to come off as a political opportunist, a tattle tale, a holier than thou preacher, and insincere - all at the same time.
If he had brought up the issue himself things may have turned out differently, but time after time he just comes off as a rat fink.
Just stating my opinion here, we did not use to refer to folks who called out liberal, semi-liberal or even a smidgen liberal positions as rat finks on Free Republic.
