Donald Trump says transgender people should be able to "use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate." On NBC's Today show Thursday morning, the GOP front-runner said he opposes North Carolina's "very strong" bathroom bill, which allows businesses to prohibit transgender people from doing just that.

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

I’ve frankly really never doubted that as time went by, Trump’s liberalism on social issues would gradually come out, and make him as unpalatable (for me) to vote for as Romney was.

Of course, ultimately, I refused to vote for Romney, due to his facilitation of faggot-marriage onto the country.

Only to the big government types who believe the government should be regulating public bathrooms

Jeez, do you know how expensive it will be to put a cop outside every ladies room in the country?

The closer he gets to the nomination, the harder it is for him to avoid letting his Northeastern, Rockefeller Republican, roots show.

But then again, for people who are not trangender but look like they are, will be harrassed for being a tranny when they are not.

People are missing the point that this now takes any attack by Hillary on this issue off the table.

Yep, it’s not something the president has any power over. It will be adjudicated in the courts.

I wish gov’t would stay out of these kinds of issues.

My wife and I discussed this issue. She said she has observed transgenders in women’s restrooms before and was sure there were others that did not stand out. None had ever exposed themselves. She said some of them make her a little uncomfortable but not as uncomfortable as some of the women themselves made her.

Unless women see the issue as important enough to get out and spend their time protesting public ally about the issue then we should all call down.

My wife also has her carry permit and usually has her protection with her.

Counting down for the inevitable pretzel-twist rationalizations from Mr. Trump’s loyal supporters.

10...9...8...7...6...5... 4... ...

(Should be fun to watch.)


Not at all. Trump said keep things as they are. Shocking, isn’t it?

It’s hysterical Cruzlims whipping themselves into a frenzy trying to score political points that are applying pretzel logic here. Not that ever stopped them before.

>> it doesn't matter what he said today <<

Of course. Mr. Trump never does any wrong, never thinks any wrong, never speaks any wrong.

He is the only perfect human to have walked the Earth since the year 33 AD.

Praise Him with the sound of cymbals! Praise Him on bended knee! Praise Him with raised voices until the heavens resound to His glory!

Glory hallelujah!

Trump will move closer to Hillary's positions during the general to woo democrats. It will be hilarious to watch all the Trump supporters to express bewilderment at their candidates move left.

To boot, Trump labeling Hillary, “crooked Hillary” will give the Clinton machine ample time to formulate and investigate Trump's liberal ties and ties to organized crime figures, namely La Cosa Nostra.

Count on it. Hillary will make Trump eat his words when he calls her crooked Hillary.

We have laws on the books to deal with perverts like this, already.

Those laws have been effectively nullified.

Enjoy your new stallmates.

He took the liberal position against a very common sense N.C. Law.

people should be able to "use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate."

I can agree with this on one condition ...

... that the use of deadly force against bathroom predators will never be questioned.
