I mean he didn't sign it, so that's good, but why are you going to bother calling yourself a Republican if you aren't going to support any of their positions?

If people elect a Republican, they want a Republican.

Every Republican is in name only. They are all a den of snakes with no principles they won't sell out for their personal gain at any time.

This is a shitty gimmick bro.

so, "real" republicans have to be against pro-transgender policies?

It's possible to be a Republican and not be a dick. It's very rare, but I've seen it happen a few times

It's part of their platform.

If you vote Republican you should expect them to. If Maryland voters had wanted pro-transgender policies they should've voted for a Democrat.

Not necessarily. How many people voted for Donald Trump just because Hillary Clinton was his opponent? Likewise, Hogan beat the Liutenant Governor to an unpopular governor (Martin O'Malley) in a low-turnout election. He didn't run on social issues, but on keeping taxes down.

If you live in a blue state, it's the norm. The governors of Maryland and Vermont are both cucks who barely hold any conservative views.

Charlie Baker is cool though, he seems to legitimately wants what's best for his state.

It's like Hoth is a child who just learned "RINO" and now attempts to use it any chance he gets even though he never uses it right.

That's pretty much all Trumpeters any time they hear a buzzword.

people and attitudes towards different issues change all of the time.

being transgender isn't a republican/democrat issue, but a social one; if you recognize they people are just trying to live their lives with less obstacles, it's harder to have discriminatory views
