The Democrats are falling for it. Just as they realized that the Russian fake story was falling apart and they needed to be something other than "The Resistance" and were taking on economics (copying Trump's policy), Trump played them with this: An economic argument against Transgenders in the military. 

Now they're siding with Social Justice Warriors and demanding that the military be used for free gender altering operations. That will not play well with the working class taxpayers. 

Look at this way; if you needed a heart transplant, do you think you should be allowed to join the military to get one at government expense? I don't think so! Then why would a Transgender operation be different?
