Ted Cruz Attacks Trump Over Support For Transgender Men "Pretending" To Be Women
Real Clear Polirtics ^ | April 22nd, 2016 | By Tim Hains

Posted on 04/22/2016 11:51:18 AM PDT by Mariner

Ted Cruz's campaign produced and released this attack ad overnight, after Donald Trump came out in favor of allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice, rather than the bathroom corresponding to their birth. The Cruz campaign has seized on this issue as a clear indicator that Donald Trump is "not a conservative."

"Leave it the way it is," Trump said. "There have been very few problems."

"Should a grown man pretending to be a woman be allowed to use the women's restroom?" asks the Cruz campaign, calling the bathroom issue "PC Nonsense that is destroying America."

"North Carolina, what they're going through with all the business that's leaving, all of the strife -- and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is," Trump said at a town hall on NBC's 'Today Show' Thursday. "People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate."

Cruz has launched an extended media attack campaign against Trump on this issue, doing interviews with his two biggest media backers -- Glenn Beck and Mark Levin -- about the transgender issue Thursday.

Call 911.

Why? On what basis? A business would be sued for calling 911 to report a transsexual, when the law states they are a protected class. It would be the same as calling 911 to report that a black man is sitting at the lunch counter.

Pardon me are you conservative? Or a flaming liberal with intent to disrupt consevative sites like Free Republic?
Quit sliming Ted Cruz by calling him Lyin Ted! His point is valid. Trangenders, is defined as gender identity that does not correspond to that person’s biological sex assigned at birth. I am concerned about the obvious consequences as he is!

I suspect your untruthful post is going to go down the rabbit hole.

No, Cruz supporters are shooting themselves in the foot and blaming it on Conservatives like Donald Trump.

“I am the victim here” baloney from the Cruz crew, as they are feeding themselves into the ZOT machine, are so pathetic... and repetitively stupid.
“oh but my voice must be heard, please.... help I am being repressed!”

YOUR BOY LOST. Get over it. Many of us now would vote for ANY republican of the seventeen gang members, before we would vote for dirty ted. Well except for low energy Jeb!

That is why I am so happy that one of the 17 has constantly kicked your boy to the curb. Your man is dangerously obsessed with the genitalia of others, their use of vibrators and dildos, and whether they squat or stand to use the restroom... and so are his followers.

Stuff that is none of our business as it regards other people. States have their own laws and Presidents don’t pass them or enforce them. This is an aspect of our governance called the “separation of powers” by Constitutional Conservative experts.

You don’t like the direction this forum has taken and want to strenuously protest the clear intent of the owner... so leave.

The thing is that cross dressers and trans have been using the public bathroom of their choice forever.

Now though, the LGBT groups want it written as law, instead of being done casually and discretely as it has always been.

I can remember for further than thirty years back seeing the occasional odd duck that I suspected was a cross dresser. The ONLY time though, that I have been sexually approached and harassed in a ladies room was by LESBIANS. That has happened about a half dozen times. Now, how do we keep the lesbians out of the ladies room?

This is the test for conservatism: Can any professing conservative even remotely imaging countenancing these demands 20 years ago - at all?!!

I know that. That was an idea sparked by someone saying suspicious people using the wrong bathroom could have their IDs checked.

My question was how do you identify and control people using the wrong bathroom? Someone said check IDs.

It’s like talking to a wall. Look, the ones that look good aren’t a problem. It’s the ones that look like weird freaks that are. It’s not that hard to comprehend.

How about you just answer this:

Should there be laws stopping businesses from restricting men who claim they are women from using their bathrooms?

Ted Cruz thinks people with brain dysfunction aren’t worthy.

Hmmm, even though he displays many symptoms himself of Asperger’s.

“Yes he would deport. And in fact he will not let them right back in. What’s the point in deporting if you are just going to let them back in?”

To “launder” them, so they will be transitioned from illegal to legal and be on their way to future voters? It’s just the same old touch-back amnesty scam tried a few years back.

“Pardon me are you conservative?”

Yep; James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan conservative.

This is what Lyin’ Ted said:

“Should a grown man pretending to be a woman be allowed to use the women’s restroom?” asks the Cruz

Now, I promise you, show me where Trump said that a grown man pretending to be a woman should be allowed to use the women’s restroom and I will send him $500.
