Log Cabin Republicans might endorse Trump, if only he stops blowing them off

Log Cabin Republicans have always been able to meet with their nominee–until now.

The group has been trying to get a meeting with Trump since last November. Angelo said that he nor anyone from his organization has “had a meeting with the candidate as of yet,” which will be a precondition of their endorsement.

“The precedent in the past has always been Log Cabin Republicans gets an audience with our nominee,” Angelo said. “That has been the case, I believe, every presidential election cycle since Log Cabin national headquarters was founded in 1992.”

Even Mitt Romney was kind enough to grant then-Log Cabin president R. Clarke Cooper and gay former Rep. Jim Kolbe a 15-second audience in 2012. The trouble is, Trump keeps putting the group off.

Given Trump’s cavalier attitude toward his party’s medieval convention platform, it seems likely that that the nominee doesn’t care one way or the other about LGBT rights because it doesn’t have anything to do with Trump, so why should he bother?

    I don’t think there is such a group as Log Cabin Republicans, any more than there is a group African Americans for Trump. It’s not possible that either group could exist.

      Hell, there are a lot more females at his rallies than I would like to believe.

    Tramp?
    He’s totally outsized ego and downsized little fingers.
    One can’t compensate the other, vice-versa.
