So we need to unite behind someone who appears to be weak on the principles that we hold important? Why? Why can't we demand that our elective representatives have our interests in mind? Why do we keep settling for mediocrity, just to get a republican in and watch them screw us over? The battered conservative syndrome is real. If she wants my vote, she has to convince me that she deserves it. Not these half gestures. I need to know that she will risk the wrath of a Washington Post op-ed to stand up for us. If she wants to run on Trump's platform, she needs to start acting like it.
So signing executive orders on the specific thing the legislation was supposed to address but failed to clearly define is considered being weak? Did you even read what you wrote?
Tell us how executive orders are half gestures and what would be considered a whole gesture of protecting women's sports. Please enlighten us.
Sure. Executive orders can be reversed very easily. Because they are orders, not laws approved by legislation. The executive order on collegiate sports reads like a suggestion rather than an order. And if these executive orders address deficiencies the legislature proposed with the bill, which was overwhelmingly passed, why not just sign it and add the orders? You can just as easily take an executive order to court, if that's what she is afraid of. It just makes her seem she doesn't want the fight. And when these orders get sued, they'll be removed.
Like I said earlier, she may have her reasons. They may even be good. And perhaps one day she will tell us what they are. But from the 35,000 ft view, this looks like a cop out. If she caved under the pressure of the liberal mob, she isn't MAGA. Sorry. Every candidate has to convince me that he or she deserves my vote. And she has a higher hill to climb given the latest. And why are you so offended that I don't like her? What makes her the best person to carry the torch in your eyes? There are already better candidates out there. No, she's not the worst, but she's far from the best.
The notion that they can be sued out of existence is absurd. Both orders are based in exisitng regulations that protect women's sports. That's why they both refer to specific titles and articles. The orders will hold up as long as she or someone of the same mind is elected. To me this appears as a stop gap solution. Which is where the coalition comes in. She is trying to build a base to combat the expected attacks from the NCAA and others but nobody cares about that. Its always gotta be the exact way ppl want it.
I could care less if you or anyone likes her. Whether or not someone likes her isn't an excuse to spread false information and claim your conjecture is fact.
Very well. Here's an article written by someone far more intelligent than me on the subject. It's a very quick read. He shares my thoughts on this. I wrote post before this article was written.
Edit: I never expect to get exactly what I want. That's unrealistic. But I expect someone who claims to sign whatever bill on this topic lands on her desk, to do, you know, that. Not back out because she is afraid of a fight, and throw a few crumbs our way as cover. Sorry, not buying it. Tired of being lied to, told to vote for candidate X because otherwise socialism takes over, only to vote for that candidate and come to realize that they are in the same boat.
She made the issue a big deal for her state. She boldly claimed that she would sign legislation protecting our kids in sports. And when push came to shove, she weaseled out using a non-veto veto and instead gave us 2 executive orders, one of which is utter crap. Legislation is always better than an executive order. Always. She didn't have to do this. Had she not made a big about it in the first place, the only people who would pay attention to her state are people who live there. She made this issue national. And then didn't deliver.
