Trump says it’s time to move on from gay ‘marriage’ battle: ‘The Supreme Court ruled.’

LOS ANGELES, CA, August 25, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – The GOP's leading presidential candidate said that he has been to a gay "wedding" and that conservatives should accept the Supreme Court's redefinition of marriage.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Donald Trump was asked whether the issue of marriage's redefinition is "a dead issue for the GOP at this point."

"Some people have hopes of passing amendments [to the U.S. Constitution]," said Trump, "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."

In June, Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper that he had evolved on the issue of marriage, and supports "traditional marriage." At the time, he was pressed by Tapper on whether Trump's three marriages undermined his position.

"They have a very good point," said Trump. "I have a great marriage. I have a great wife now. And I – my two wives were very good. And I don't blame them. But I was working, maybe like you, 22 hours a day."

"I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing," he said.

Trump told the Reporter that he had been to the gay "wedding" of Broadway theater owner Jordan Roth.

The trouble is that Trumpets like you are willing to accept any kind of insanity to get your liberal Democrat.

If this isn’t a killer for you, it must be a winner for you.

Why are you pinging me with your unprovoked attack? I have never posted anything about DT one way or the other. I am for Cruz, for the record. (I think I may have made one statement weeks ago that he says things that some other politicians are afraid to say, but that’s about it!)

In any case, please remove me from your ping list.

thank you.

Trump serves a good purpose though obvious you disagree....as mentioned before there is a bigger picture playing out and Trump is simply one of the many rolling the ball.

Far better people look further then who is simply on the front page of the elections season for this is going to shift several times along the way....because it’s a war to take back our government not just an election. For that every man counts who is on the front line.

“Nobody’s following you to your candidate’s threads looking to start shxt with you either. It’s the other way around.”

Lol, that was an outright lie.
I’m glad you’re dead.

That sure is a funny name you use to demean people who don’t agree with you.

I’m sure that it hurts everyone’s feelings very much and makes them all sad on the inside.

I do think this is beyond your ability to control.

Plain as day at this point, Trump has been called upon to run to block the conservative candidates (chiefly Cruze and Carson) from gaining office.

The MSM are carefully creating anything they can to give Trump all the free face time they can, and there is no sign that they will relent.

Trump doesn’t have to win anything to accomplish his objective. If a conservative gets the nomination, he goes independent as Perot II. He only needs to siphon off enough globalists to throw the election to the Dem.

If you can’t see this, either you’re blind, or you are loving it.

what makes you think i am a trump supporter? I think he is entertaining. I think he’s making the liberal GOP and media talk about stuff they wouldn’t otherwise. I think it’s sort of like watching Al Czervik run for president and that is how he is getting attention. But I know what Trump really is... that’s why I support Cruz and only Cruz

Trump wouldn’t get more than a minute a week if he were not accomplishing exactly what the MSM wants.

because you directed a post to me in a topic i wasn't even involved in that started out like this:

"The trouble is that Trumpets like you are..."

I don't know how I got on this list, I don't want on this list and I wish whoever put it together would break it up. It's irritating me

I notice you sleeper trolls are all pretty hostile toward religion.

You noticed that too eh? Not too surprising actually; the moderates with a one issue agenda for the most part don't care about spiritual matters.

This news about Trump shouldn't surprise anyone with half a brain. It's those who imagine him as the next incarnation of Reagan who are making the real fools of themselves here. Xzins said it best in another post: he's strong on defense, immigration and American exceptionalism. And that's it.

Everyone should ask themselves: can I sleep at night knowing in my heart that I elected a basically amoral man? That's really the question with Trump.

For me, morality means more than just getting rid of some Latin American gang bangers. I'm tired of the amorality in this country more than any one issue that is a RESULT of the amorality. But that's just me I guess.
