Nobody here should want this to be an election issue.   A large block of voters are against apple, are pro-backdoors.  If this became an election issue anyone seeking to win (all of them) will adopt a middle ground stance.  That middle ground will be something like &quot;backdoors, but only if X Y and Z&quot;.<p>Except trump.  He won&#x27;t be middle ground.  He&#x27;ll probably personally unlock the phone using a gold-plated hammer.
