Trump Joins Kasich as the Anti–Anti–Gay-Marriage Candidate

National Review ^ | 08/21/2015 | Maggie Gallagher

Trump has a problem with me if he isn’t taking a stand on moral and family issues that’s any better than this. I won’t vote for any candidate who isn’t against same-sex “marriage.”

This is a great example of the left using their tactics to divide conservatives and fracture adequate support for a single candidate.

It is a very effective one too.

I firmly believe marriage is one man one woman, though these days I should modify it with biological man and woman but it is a state issue.

JMHO

[BuckeyeTexan]

The Constitution gives certain powers to the federal government and reserves all other powers to the states or to the people, (...)

Fixed that for you.

[cripplecreek]

And Trump is saying the same thing without using the H1b word.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Trump: Some people have hopes of passing amendments, but it’s not going to happen. Congress can’t pass simple things, let alone that. So anybody that’s making that an issue is doing it for political reasons. The Supreme Court ruled on it.

"Our Churchill."

[Seruzawa]

Well, that’s it then. Since Trump doesn’t meet every criteria I want in a candidate I’m taking my ball and going home. /s

At this point I’m still for Trump, warts and all. Not one of the other candidates, except Cruz and perhaps Carson, would do anything at all to reverse our downhill slide. Trump might. Even if he does nothing on marriage other things he does could reverse things. Maybe not. All I know is that the other candidates, except Cruz and Carson, are just parts of the machine and will only rearrange deck chairs. I’d prefer Cruz but I’ll still take Trump. Unfortunately we still have more than a year of dealing with this cyclic insanity called a Presidential Election.

[SoFloFreeper]

Trump wasn’t asked about religious freedom. He should be—pointedly and repeatedly until he answers.

And a “the courts must decide” response is not an answer.

[TornadoAlley3]

He will build the wall. No Republican running will do anything about gay marriage and they will not build a wall.

[Kenny]

Wow! I don’t like what Trump said either but that kind of overreaction is what the cop d’etat is all about. Make it a single issue, run off conservatives because their candidate doesn’t measure up 100%, then slide in a real socialist.

Works every time.

[Charles Henrickson]

Please direct me to where Trump supported the FEDERAL legislation and legalization of same sex marriage???

Again, you're missing the point. It wasn't done through legislation. It was done by the Supreme Court unlawfully legislating from the bench! It was a 5-4 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, in June of this year. And the President appoints Supreme Court justices. So I certainly do not want a moral and constitutional dunce like Trump becoming President. Especially when we have much better all-around conservative candidates in the field.

[Artcore]

LOL you’re kinda special aren’t you.

This is your defense of Cruz...really? Pfft!

[grania]

Trump's thinking like a businessman. He's looking at issues that have the highest percentage of changing. He's asking us to think analytically about where the greatest good can be done in the shortest amount of time to save the US.

Every time, we get wrapped up in the social issues. We even WON on most of the social issues. And what happened? The courts overturned it.

[Dr. Thorne]

Bottom line: God will remove His blessing from the United States because of our immorality including abortion and homo marriage. Without that blessing, we are doomed.

Trump thinks he can win on the immigration and economy issues. Perhaps he can. But even solving those problems will not stop our slide into the abyss.

[Harpotoo]

Vice President Cruz will handle that part as he gets all the Social assignments.

[Hostage]

Thanks for this background info.

[EternalVigilance]

The Constitution confers authority to the states to legislate matters of marriage, gay OR straight.

That's not possible. You can't confer authority you don't possess.

[EternalVigilance]

Sorry. Trump is fundamentally unsound on all the core moral issues. It isn’t just one.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Trump is right. Save the outrage for the Congress and the SCOTUS on abortion and gay marriage.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Another troll attack—”Trump isn’t Pro-family” Don’t elect him! Its a Democrat trying to get the hard right wingnuts to drop Trump because “he’s Not Right wing enough”. Might have worked with Mittens—doesn’t work now. Go back to your day job at “Black Lives Matter” and take your fat Soros check.

[lewislynn]

Because of your glaring hatred you don't even understand what you've posted.

He said come here, work hard and become citizens

Besides it being something he said, which part bothers you? the works hard? Or the become citizens?
