Cruz slams Trump’s ‘PC’ stance on transgender public bathrooms
Washington Times ^ | 4/21/16 | None

Posted on 04/21/2016 9:26:49 AM PDT by Iowa David

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Thursday said front-runner Donald Trump had defied “common sense” and embraced political correctness by coming out against North Carolina’s law barring people from using public restrooms of the opposite sex.

“He said he thought men should be able to go into the girls bathroom if they want,” scoffed Mr. Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas. “Let me ask you, have we going stark raving mad? This is political correctness. This is nonsense.”

In the grand scheme of things, this really isn’t the most important issue of the day. I agree that your birth certificate gender should dictate your restroom choice, but to be honest, I have only seen transgendered on TV and movies, never in real life. If they are around, I never noticed. I would imagine that the small percentage of them that use the restrooms in public is almost non-existent.

Bone-headed move by Trump. He’s gotta get away from crap like this and keep focused on the big picture.”

Trump should have just said it is a state’s right and he was focused on national issues.

Maybe he actually meant that by saying leave it the way it is. In some states - like mine, Washington - folks seem not to care about their wives, daughters and granddaughters being subjected to hanging dongs. Other states do care about these issues.

Maybe we will see some changes on this issue when women feminazis start having men in the bathrooms and the girls sports teams are replaced with trnasgenders, but until we get some shrieky women protesting it will stay the same.

Wow. Lying Ted is at it again, his deranged psychophant Iowa David is out promulgating his fabrications. Trump didn’t say he supports it. He said it was unenforceable and would end up hurting NC with negative publicity.

But I guess when your guy has been mathematically eliminated, you have to do your best to bring down the leader, huh? Great campaign strategy there—lie a lot and come in third. Then cheat.

Hey what a shocker. Ted Cruz disagrees with Trump. I’m surprised he was able to refrain from his usual Me too to any stance Trump takes. :-)

So, so long as there's a separate bathroom for Mexicans you're okay with this?

Good to know.

Hey! Maybe we should promote abortion for non-whites![/sarcasm]

If he is already starting let his inner liberal show just because he THINKS he has the nomination wrapped up, what could we expect to see after the convention if he does get the nomination?

According to the Human Rights bunch, the % of the US population is.....

.03%

Anyone that decides a presidential election on that does not belong in a voting booth, but on a psychiatrist’s couch.

Cruz has been speaking out against this for days, that it was insanity to think that we send our little girls into bathrooms with big hairy men.

What about being safe from big hairy dyke lesbians in the same restroom?

Ted is irrelevant.

And, to you, grown, perverted and mentally ill men in the same bathrooms with young girls is also irrelevant. What other wonderful things do you want for society?

Good God people, it’s not the state’s job to protect your family in a public restroom - it’s YOUR responsibility as parents, as husbands, brothers, moms, etc.. i always went in the restroom WITH my kids until they were old enough to look out for themselves.. but i was hovering.. and pack’n.. just in case. what a bunch of losers this nation has become..

Something about supporting a ban on selling certain types of toys.

I watched the YouTube cut. I didn’t see where his explanation of “leave it the way it is” translates to endorsement or condemnation of the law. Did I miss something?

What Screw up? Hes strategically positioned for the General. The opportunistic hypocrite Cruz is a fraud on this issue as proven by his cozy relationship with his many his Gay Mega-donors.

https://www.texastribune.org/2012/07/03/ted-cruzs-gay-billionaire-donor-draws-criticism/

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/politics/at-new-york-reception-ted-cruz-is-said-to-strike-different-tone-toward-gays.html

Etc.

As far as it damaging Trump, forget it. Hes going to pick up the North East and California now.

Does he support it? No, hes for traditional marriage. He has listed very conservative judges as potential nominees, pushed religious freedom and is going to bring education local. For now its a very strategic position that will NOT help Cruz with the bigger states still in play. it also removes this issue during the general which is a big issue with all the gay billionaires, media and in government.

But the bathroom issue is dead for this election. Let the New courts, religious freedom and local education handle the cultural problems. The Executive office is not the place for it.

Thank you. You are exactly right. This is what Trump was saying. No need to change existing laws. Pretty simple. He didn’t say anything out of the ordinary there.
