HannibalBarca posted:https://twitter.com/politico/status/779376014602403840 This whole time, I've been operating under the assumption that Cruz knows Trump is going to tank and become toxic to national politics, so he's been positioning himself to be the "true conservative" choice in 2020 who didn't bend the knee to that RINO Clinton plant Trump.

My position would be this: legalize solicitation, legalize turning tricks, don't legalize buying, don't legalize representation and taking a cut. Make the prostitute the only person with legal power and recourse in the transaction.

A Cruz endorsement would be great because his main reason for refusing to support Trump is because he insulted Cruz's wife and father. If he does endorse, I hope there's a bunch of people asking him about this.

I mean, I get the goal here, protecting prostitutes from violence and exploitation, and that's a good thing, but it just seems nonsensical to me to make it legal to sell something but not to buy it.

That's a good strategy. Tbh I don't think that really plays well with women. Colin Powell sounded like a catty piece of poo poo in that email, and if Trump brings that stuff up it opens the floodgates to Clinton baiting & slamming him on his own gross attitudes/actions towards women. Will this be the first time Trump speaks in front of a live audience that won't be screaming and cheering for him? I'm hoping Trump flails in the deafening silence.  God I can't wait until this election is over.

The people out there who see Bill's infidelity as a mark against Hillary are already firmly in the Trump camp, and Hillary actually gets more popular when, for instance, Monica Lewinsky is brought up, especially among women.

"Your husband fucks other women and it's all your fault" as an attack against Clinton during the debates would be one of the biggest gifts Trump could give her short of saying nobody likes her because she's a naggy bitch.

This is bad for Cruz but not necessarily bad for Trump. Trump's absolute biggest goal right now should be looking as much like just another Republican as he can. He needs to be even further normalized if he wants any prayer, and his cult of personality idiot followers are behind him enough that if he was savvy he'd actually have the leeway to nod and wink to them while he does it; basically nothing he can do short of losing the election is going to cool off his base now and if he was smart he'd be hammering the 'I'm just a GOP operative I'll rubberstamp your poo poo and not start no wars' buttons. He's not smart. His handlers are, occasionally, smart, but he himself needs to be led about like a child.

Trabisnikof posted:So what you're saying is, violence and threats are the only way to keep her in line under your system? She has to fear for her life so she won't go to the cops. No, the opposite. She doesn't have to fear the cops, only those who would abuse have to fear the cops. I get what you're saying, though, I think. That it's similar to something like a death sentence for pedophiles encouraging them to go ahead and murder their victims so there's no witness and it's a death sentence anyway? Yeah you could be right. But I feel like heavily regulating the sex industry also takes away sex workers freedom and assigns monetary value to them as a person. I feel like you probably need a hybrid approach, but I don't feel like full legalization and regulation would work in sex workers favor, it would just officially make them an exploited end product of a corporation. In any event I believe women(and men) in the sex industry need to have(in no order) 1) autonomy 2) no fear of reprisal and 3) safety And I don't really know the best path there. But it is admittedly not something I think about much.
