I agree now what he did is more beneficial to his candidacy than the


15 weeks, where before I thought 15 worked for him as a "moderate" position to minimize heat, which is what he was after floating it. I still think 15 (which would have to mean states couldn't restrict lower than that, and include robust protections for exceptions/emergencies) would probably work as a national compromise in some theoretical vacuum that doesn't exist. No matter what his candidacy, doesn't want to be talking about it, and the Ds do (although I think it is possible to overdo that if at the expense of other important issues.)

A funny example of Trump having good political instincts in certain spots: today I was listening to a podcast about "Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome". It noted Trump never got bent out of shape about her where other parts of the right very much did- "hey she doesn't like me, but that's ok, i like her music 25% less for that. Good for her and her boyfriend, he's a great football player." Much better sense than many other Rs, his value system that prizes fame and popularity works in his favor politically. Taylor Swift very popular, harsh abortion restrictions very unpopular.
