NBC Pushes Trump to the Left on Transgender Bathrooms, Abortion, Taxes
NewsBusters.org ^ | April 21, 2016 | Kyle Drennen

Trump acknowledged that he “had a feeling that question was going to come up” and proceeded toe the liberal line of political correctness: “Well, look, North Carolina did something that was very strong and they're paying a big price and there's a lot of problems....People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. There has been so little trouble.”

...

Fellow co-host Savannah Guthrie turned to the subject of abortion: “The Republican platform, every four years, has a provision that states that the right of the unborn child shall not be infringed. And it makes no exceptions for rape, for incest, for the life of the mother. Would you want to change the Republican platform to include the exceptions that you have?”

Trump agreed without hesitation: “Yes, I would. Yes, I would. Absolutely. For the three exceptions. I would.”

...

Later in the discussion, Guthrie asked if Trump would support a tax hike: “Do you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy?” Again he sounded like a Democrat: “I do. I do, including myself. I do.”

Trump was too busy tweeting to read all those position papers he had paid for, they were just makeup anyway to hide what was underneath and to make him attractive to the superficial and gullible.

Where is the old Trump that would have said the men's bathroom is for men and the women's for women and they shouldn’t have to share.

Might as well face it. You've been played. And guess what? There's not going to be a wall either. Won't worry about beating you over the head about it though, you'll feel stupid enough as it is and beat your own self up about it when you wake up in the morning. So, in the meantime, might as well call the bartender over and order up another! Go ahead! Live it up...

Cruz’s attack on Trump is dumb. What about little girls in the bathroom with a butch lez??

If a transgender man dressed as a woman used a woman’s bathroom who would know? He have to pee in the sink!

If a transgender woman dressed as a man used a men’s bathroom who would know? They couldn’t use the urinal.

So how would they be identified?

When forced to choose between a liberal and a liberal the electorate will choose a liberal every time.

I said I will vote for Trump if he wins the nod. If in the course of the general run up he comes out for abortion, amnesty, or weakening the 2nd amendment I am out. Those are my 3 hard lines. He has already put a hole in my dike with his raising taxes BS.

Jim tried, in vain, to get us together behind the obvious nominee and you and the rest of the carpers are back at gunking up the works.

Sometimes I think that particular Trump only existed in desperate dreams, concocted through the collective wails of a dying nation.

He is dead wrong. Now any pervert can go hang in the womens room without a single legal fear. I was all in for Trump, but this is BS on his part.

Cruz disgusts me. But if he would have said what Trump did today, I would have been first to attack him on it. SO I will give Trump the same courtesy.

I'll surely get behind the Republican Nominee!

...not the "obvious nominee", if you don't mind.

OK, so he’s pro abortion and wants to raise my taxes. And if I wake up one morning and identify as a woman I can go to the girls’ bathroom.

HE’S A DEMOCRAT. I hope all you Trumpies are happy now. At least Kasich won’t raise my taxes.

He’s our nominee. Thanks a bunch. Oh, that’s right, he’s anti-establishment, so all this is worth it.

Please Mr. Trump, do not give into the left. Your strength comes from standing up to them, not buying into political correctness. Don’t be afraid to stand up for ordinary women who do not like this nonsense at all. Please.

Donald simply jumped in front of the immigration issue (with which I agree) and assumed many people would support him just for that. He was right....we now have many conservatives discarding their principles for one issue.

If Trump wasn’t for the right stand on immigration, his campaign would be nowhere. He would be dismissed as a rich, liberal dilettante. Which he is.
____________________________________________

He even walked back his immigration position he couldn’t wait to emphasis how all the good illegals who had been will come back legally once they leave, i.e. Touch and go amnesty, path to citizenship.

He is gonna screw his supporters.

I don’t think that perverts are going to be able to go hang in the ladies room with no legal fear.

I think if some trans dude goes in there, does his business proper, washes up and leaves like everyone else, probably ain’t gonna be any problems.

If some obvious creep goes in there and starts perving up the place and freaking people out or assaulting people, he’s probably going to run into serious problems.

Right now a man can walk into the man’s room and do what I described in the above paragraph and run into serious problems.

Right now a man dressed as a man can walk into the women’s room and a) behave in a proper manner, or b) hide in the stalls and lie in wait in order to victimize someone.

I think it’s best to take this situation on a case by case basis on what someone actually does before assuming that they are there to commit a crime.

I have to take my mom to all of her doctor appointments. She is terrifically mobility handicapped. The right side of her body no longer works, she’s a heavy gal, she can walk with a cane, but mostly she is in the wheelchair. She also suffers from incontinence.

So when we are at the doctors offices, she has to make sure that her bladder is as empty as it can be otherwise disaster can occur.

In order to get in and out of her wheelchair, she needs my physical assistance. This means that I go into the ladies room to help her out of her chair and back into her chair. This is a major operation that requires physical strength.

I am a 6’4” giant mf’er dressed like a man in the ladies room, and yep I feel out of place, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Gotta help her.

I sure hope no one assumes I’m in there to commit dirty deeds, but I bet someone somewhere has wondered WTF I am doing going in the ladies room or what am I doing standing outside the ladies room with a wheel chair.

So I do not go into ladies rooms where there is the potential for numbers of ladies to be in there at once, like at Target for instance. But at the doctor’s offices she goes to, I have no choice but to do this. It’s my duty and honor to help my mom, so that’s what I do.
