Cops: Man Choked 8-Year-Old Girl in Restaurant Bathroom

This is, on all sides, the dumbest election year "issue" ever invented to rile up one voting base or another. To paraphrase Allen Iverson, we're talking about bathrooms, man. The rich get richer while the middle class lives off of the scraps, our nation's largely post WWII public infrastructure is crumbling due to neglected maintenance, and other things that matter are going on and we're talking about bathrooms. We're talking about bathrooms.

Absolutely. Not to belittle LGBT issues (there are legitimate issues on this subject), but this (political spin) is nothing more than an election year ploy at a wedge issue attempt to further split conservative votes or rally progressives. It's shallow and appeals to people's basest instincts and emotions rather than a real policy issue in presidential politics. Every election, it's the same thing, some social wedge issue tends to dominate the debates and it's a distraction from the very real issues of economics, jobs, military readiness/usage, SCOTUS, and the ever widening gap between the rich and lower/middle class.
