They must have an internal poll or some consulting group that told them that anti-trans was *the* issue to run on because they've spent tens of millions on ads all over the country. Here in Texas, they dominate over all of the other GOP ads for both Cruz and Trump.

It seems like a really odd thing to focus on to the detriment of all other issues. I can't imagine they're working on anyone beyond the diehards.

The one they're beating to death here is the one about trans people in prison getting medical care.

It's a Federal of Bureau Prisons policy that Trump let stand for his entire term.

The fact that the Harris campaign, which has a great rapid response team, has pretty much ignored these ads makes me think they have information that indicates the ads aren't working. If so, let them keep blowing billions on them.
