Here's what Trump said:
Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what theyre going through with all the business thats leaving, all of the strife and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is. He continued, There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic I mean, the economic punishment that theyre taking.
(1) Where exactly, did Trump stand up for the rights of male perverts and trannies to take a whiz or go #2 alongside with or do worse things to little girls and defenseless women?
(2) Does NC (and other states) not have existing laws that punish offenders who engage in sexual exploitation of children or lewd sexual activities in public restrooms?
All Trump is saying is that trannies, feminine men, perverts, sickos, etc have been using male or female bathrooms for eons and no one has batted an eye up until now, when it's an election year and leftist groups foolishly believe that they can create a Todd Akin-narrative to portray Republicans and conservatives as anti-transgendered or anti-discrimination or something - and right on cue you have Rafael Cruz and other gutless Republicans who didn't stand with the NC Governor on this or did jack squat when SCOTUS decreed homo marriage on all 50 states - yapping like Yorkshires and pathetically playing the Left's game.
Trump simply did not take the bait. He is saying that NC shouldn't have went through the hassle of making new law when existing laws and mores served just fine and violators would be punished under current law.
So now, Christian conservatives are angry and threatening to stay home in a snit because Trump didn't just state the obvious truth that biological men should use the Men's restroom and women should use the Women's restroom (And I wished he would have. BTW - I do NOT agree with Trump on this, but merely posting his reasoning behind his statement) and leftists are upset because they won't have a narrative to club Trump over the head with throughout the election.
Both sides lost, which is EXACTLY what Trump wanted.
Now hopefully, Trump can continue to talk about the real issues that matter and disregard these questions that are designed to alienate social conservative support from him.
Hillary waltz’s into the Whitehouse....Presto we are in hell.
Couldn’t say it better myself. Every election I am like chicken little screaming the “sky is falling” - “This is the most important election of our life times”. Well, this time it really is. Cruz/GOPe continue to fracture the party beyond repair. This will effect down ticket races, both national and local. Criminal Clinton will be the president. SCOTUS picks will be left of the left. We won’t have another chance to fix it. Millions of new American voters will ensure the Republicans never win again. Welcome to Hell!
Bathroom issues are just a distraction from what’s really important.
TED CRUZ: U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Hearing, 5/21/13:
"I don't want immigration reform to fail. I want immigration reform to pass. And so I would urge people of good faith on both sides of the aisle, if the objective is to pass common sense immigration reform that secures the borders, that improves legal immigration, and AMNESTY: that allows those who are here illegally to come in out of the shadows.Then we should look for areas of bipartisan agreement and compromised to come together. And this amendment, I believe, if this amendment were to pass, the chances of this bill passing into law would increase dramatically."
Seriously. Technically I’ve always felt slightly uncomfortable with openly gay men in the men’s bathroom. I don’t see how you ban trannies from one bathroom or the other without also addressing that.
Trump never said pathway to citizenship liar. He said same as always they go back and come in legally. As usual a nothing burger from the desperate crowd
Unisex bathrooms are common across Europe. It is not unusual to be doing your business standing up while a couple of girls are powdering themselves behind you. There is no problem here because men are filing in and out alongside women, and no "deviant" has any chance in hell of misbehaving with females, or with males for that matter.
This is how it is everywhere, where bathrooms are designated one way or other, or not at all. This is exactly what Trump means when he says "leave them the way they are!". Sadly, few seem to understand it, and old Cruzy is trying to make political capital out of it by insinuating that Trump is saying exactly the opposite.
The equation changes when a baby’s life is at stake.
Maybe some compensation can be awarded to the woman, if you are so concerned about her that you are willing to condone a murder. Maybe we should give her monetary compensation.
There is a strong possibility that you do not consider the baby to be a human being. I would venture to say that that is the root of our disagreement. If you think the baby is human and you condone killing him or her to make the mother happier, then it should be clear that you are wrong. The main issue, the root issue, is whether this little creature is human and thus part of our family and worthy of our consideration.
The woman is human as well and you seem to forget that. Women are not cattle, sorry. Compensation? From where? You going to pay?
This is insanity on steroids
maybe its a guy thing or lack of stalls, but Lesbians in the bathroom have never bothered me.
I have heard of that happening, it is just sickening.
I was simply responding to your post where you said, “NO one is freaking out...” and pointing out there was at least one person namely, Mark Levin who was indeed “freaking out”.
Of course she is human as well, but we’re not discussing whether to kill her. All she has to do is carry the baby to term and give it up for adoption. You’re really only pregnant for the last two months or so, as far as a little discomfort goes, and then of course the childbirth is hard.
Compare it to someone who is maimed in a car accident. The victim deserves compensation of some kind. And the mother is not even maimed. The rapist should pay it, if he is caught, or possibly even the people, since the state has a certain interest in the new life, as was admitted even by those who created Roe v. Wade.
I think we should stop discussing this now, because you are at the name-calling stage and I don’t think we’ll make any progress. You are obviously more interested in winning your argument than in thinking about this from another point of view. I wish you well.
Cruz is desperate.
His fingerprints are all over this.
Talk about a meltdown.
Bye bye, Ted.
Those that support “The Spoiler” care not a whit for the actual facts - their campaign against Trump is a perfect example of how things go when the low-info voters get involved. Even worse, most of them know but refuse to acknowledge the Truth - they call it “principled conservatism”...
I imagine I somehow missed the flood of threads on that topic.
I don’t even hear anyone mention it these days. What I do hear is the average voter out there who wholly believes Cruz is a sneaky cheater in regards to delegates.
[[What I do hear is the average voter out there who wholly believes Cruz is a sneaky cheater in regards to delegates.]]
What you hear is the average voter in liberal states who believe this- Ted wouldn’t be doing as well as he is in the states that he is if none trusted him- in some states he has significant support- That you would just listen to one side is fine, but it’s just opinion- There are those who think donald is a sneaky character- saying whatever he has to to garner republican support- and who see his frank confessions about issues like transgender and gay issues, and not supporting Kim Davis and wanting his sister who is a lesbian and gay rights supporter to be a surpeme court judge etc etc etc as revealing his true liberal NY values-
Everyone has an opinion
Yes, we all hold our own opinions. I was simply sharing what type of comments I hear out here in the real world.
The rest is background noise to me.
Oh good, that one is not going to be missed!
