Also what the left calls (I’ve seen it a lot on DU) “voting against our own best interests”. Because we’re supposed to just sell out our principles for a mess of pottage, like they do.

Trump is turning FReepers into transexual activists.

Now that is something I didn’t see coming.

Tell me, will you still think Trump is right after he’s changed positions on the issue six times?

I don’t think Trump’s remarks this morning are so far from tonight. He talked about the beating NC was taking and questioned it. He repeated that tonight that they’re getting hammered but said it’s not a federal issue.

I don’t see where there’s a conflict. And I agree, the fact so much of this social crap is at the federal level is ridiculous.

An intellectually honest person knows that there is only one truth in the two events.

1) Trump makes a convoluted, off-the-cuff statement that can be interpreted several different ways. Cruzlamic Jihad begins all over the Internet.

2) Trump clarifies his statement. Cruzlims are sad.

But it doesn’t matter, because the Prophet Ted and his followers will continue to parrot whatever they interpreted from the first statement as ‘truth’ and call everyone else names if they don’t swallow the whole line.

Cruz put Trumps liberal inner self in check. And that’s exactly why Cruz should stay in the race. His apologists will not keep Trumps Manhattan liberal id in check at all. Hannity and the rest will eat whatever crap Sandwich Mr. Trump serves up. So, after today I have changed my mind. Cruz should stay in .

Actually I would be more worried about a muslime in a full burka walking into the can and blowing the sh@t out of the place.

Trump is not playing this like a politician - a business man needs to do what he needs to do to close the deal. And the deal is President of the United States.

And he has his eyes on the Sanders voters. Many of them are anti-Hillary and anti-establishment - and some are also pro-democrats. If he can pull off 25-30% of those anti-Hillary, anti-establishment vote, he wins.

And this sets the stage for that.

We have just never seen a non-politician business man running for President before - this is what it looks like.

Get use to saying “President Trump!”

Yes, because he doesn’t understand principles. He’s not wired that way.

Cruz had nothing to do with Trump’s statement. He really just elaborated on this morning’s comments. Cruz serves no useful purpose particularly because Trump completely ignores Cruz, has for a while.

Read this 5hree times and even went to find out who Tyler O’Neil is trying to where there was any truth. I found none. Even the quote he uses is from something written elsewhere since there is editorial within the quote.

I’d be at odds had this been about the showers but it’s about the bathrooms. NC enacted a law. There have been problems. The folks needling NC are buttwipes, but it is happening. Trump said maybe they shouldn’t have enacted the law. He attacked no one. He didn’t champion Transgender rights or causes. He said maybe it could have been left alone. He didn’t pass the law, he didn’t sign it, he didn’t campaign on it or for it.

Anyone is entitled to think what they what but this guy spins this out of control like Cruz would. By the end he has Trump.as the grand Marshall of pride day. It sounds like Cruz even wrote it for him. It’s a big lie as EEE says above.

His cult of personality comes with its storm troopers. We’ll likely meet them any minute now.

"North Carolina did something that was very strong and they're paying a big price and there's a lot of problems," said Trump

He is right, they solved nothing and created a poop-storm. Under the NC law, a fully trans-man is now required to use the ladies room. Solved nothing.

Says you, an apologist for the inner Trump. You will understand if I go with my reading of today’s politics.

Horse manure. He said nothing of the kind. This is nothing but a lie, endlessly repeated.

He didn’t kneel, he walked the tightrope and people on both sides thought he agreed with them. Pretty good move politically.

Well, why do we need or want a candidate who so frequently makes “convoluted, off-the-cuff statements”(your words), and then has to “clarify” them as our nominee?

The Donald might not be a tank, but rather a Trojan horse.

Conspiracy theory for y'all: Trump enters the race to poison the well for all the GOP candidates on behalf of the Democrats. Once he wins the nomination he backs off on all of his talking points(wall/deportation/etc.) and a dispirited Republican base stay home - allowing Hillary/Biden/Warren to win and establish a permanent Progressive Democrat majority that never loses again via open borders and immediate citizenship. Trump goes back to reality TV and is a bigger star than ever for the rest of his life. We conservatives eventually are either driven out (not sure where we'll go) or killed by SJWs who object to our beliefs. America ends with a whimper, but Trump TV is there to cover it. So it's all good.
