WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on campaign 2016 (all times Eastern):

8:15 a.m.

Donald Trump says he believes transgender people should be able to use whichever bathroom they choose.

Speaking at a town hall event on NBC's "Today" Thursday, Trump said North Carolina's so-called "bathroom law," which directs transgender people to use the bathroom that matches the gender on their birth certificates, has caused unnecessary strife.

Does this get walked back? Or is the inner liberal leaking out?

Just when he seemed like he was getting his act together, he has to go and blow it like this.

He’s just going with the flow. How can our society be breaking down so quickly. It boggles the mind.

Another reason my wife and I will be voting for Ted Cruz in the Pennsylvania Primary on Tuesday. Call me a bigot, but I believe the privacy of my wife, daughters, granddaughters and other ladies should take precedent over the feeeeeeeeeeelings of a mentally ill jag-off with a penis who want to take a whiz in the ladies room.

I’m still trying to work out exactly when “discriminating” became a bad word.

I can no longer support Trump. I have posted some very anti Cruz posts in the past and don’t trust him. But Trump has forced my hand. A man who would let another man in the bathroom with a little girl has no business being in charge of this country.

But we know how you Cruz guys love to spam the same story 100 times.

And for the record I don’t agree. But just like Cruz said he isn’t touching the gay marriage issue, I’m not expect Trump to waste a month screaming about bathrooms and trannies.

Unless we are now all about a president dictating to states how this type of thing should be handled.

That’s totally FUBAR. He just screwed himself with that unthinkable and stupid remark. Politicians should avoid the gay lesbian transgendered weirdo sick issues.

That fact that we are going to have to choose between Clinton and Trump for president shows just how far into the sewer this country has fallen. What a shame. This used to be such a great country.

By the end of the day would be my prediction.

Why can’t they just let store policy prevail? Ultimately the insurer will prevail, as usual. Me, I just whistle past the putrid public restrooms. Wouldn’t go in there to wash off radioactives.

From the article:

He added that he also didn’t support putting in new bathrooms: “I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way.”

Yeah, “discriminatory” because as a businessman he knows that it would cost a lot of money if he had to add new bathrooms.

But he doesn’t think about the little girls going into the little girls room only to find a pervert waiting for them.

He puts the thought of losing his dollar above the safety of little girls.

What a putz.

C’mon. Say what you really think!

Mind boggling that he would “go there.” This one WILL blow up in his face.

Be very careful Donald. This is a very sensitive topic especially down here in NC.

I thought the whole point of his candidacy was to elect someone who doesn't just go with the flow?

Instead, he just kneecapped a GOP governor who is trying to do the right thing.

I am not surprised. He has been a Liberal Democrat most of his life. The surprise is that anyone believes he would govern as a conservative.
