I'm ready to move this to Lean D.
Hard to imagine a Cooper/Trump ticket-splitter though...
Trump hasn't really been pandering to the anti-trans folks like McCrory has.
Yes, he's always been weirdly pro-LGBT considering how he speaks about pretty much all other minority groups on a daily basis. I think the gay vote this year will be at its most R since before DOMA and Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
I wonder if this is a function of his New York roots. I imagine in Trump's circles he actually has quite a few gay friends. That, or its just an issue that doesn't get him passionate.
Also opposition to LGBT rights is a mainstream conservative issue which is what Trump is trying to avoid. And...I don't know, but ranting against teh gayz just wouldn't really feel right with Trump's ideology.
Of course, Trump doesn't actually care about LGBT rights given his VP pick. He just doesn't hate them either.
