Here's what Trump said:
“Leave it the way it is. 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.” 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 they’re 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.
Living in the past there Bob? No one’s brought that up in ages.
Me, I’m more concerned with Cruz’s flips on amnesty - or rather, his follow the leader in trying to sound tough.
Cruz, the wannabe who won’t be no matter what the GOPe promises him.
Was the law in NC created because there was a need or for political points where no issue existed?
If for political points they are bringing on unnecessary problems for their state.
The correct answer would have been:”I’ll let you guys fight it out over tranny toilets and whatnot because my presidency is going to concern itself with making America great again and I don’t have time for the toilet dilemmas of the sexually confused!”. Or something like that.
Like a feeding frenzy.
abortion, the three exceptions are just that exceptions. I don’t know how I can force a woman to have a child she did not consent to creating. She was a victim and now the rapist forced her be a mother and he is now the biological father. I understand the 100% anti-abortion stance, but I also see the rape exception as well.
__________________________________________
The effect of that ‘exception’, is that anyone can and will use it as the ‘reason’ for the abortion. If Trump doesn’t understand that then he I’d dumber than most of his supporters.
The truth is never an obsession.
No he said North Carolina should have left things the way they were without a law that discriminated against transgenders. He tried to say it would be to expensive to build special transgender bathrooms, so it is clear that he is Not for any law that keeps transgenders from using any bathroom they identify with. The big tell is that North Carolina is DESCRIMINATING against transgenders. You just can’t spin that any other way.
Exactly. I would like to see more ‘family bathrooms’ (single bathroom where a father or mother can take all the kids) however. Those are handy.
If we do not get a handle on those, nothing else will matter.
This is what he actually said you are the one spinning it. He said it descriminated against transgenders.
Lauer then asked, “So if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump Tower and want to use the bathroom, you would be fine with her using any bathroom she chooses?”
“That is correct,” Trump said. “You know, there’s a big move to create new bathrooms. The problem with that is for transgender, that would be a, first of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. It would be unbelievably expensive for businesses and for the country. Leave it the way it is.”
I answered the question that was put to Jim.
Factually.
No spin required.
should hold Trump’s feet to the fire on abortion and other social issues. But the biggest priority for me is protecting America’s sovereignty and our borders.
___________________________________
Of course we should focus on the border. That is why his statement committing to a pathway to citizenship for illegals is so disgusting.
How do feel about a pathway to citizenship do you agree. Trump?
It is a state’s rights issue. The Feds need to butt out (pun intended).
When he said leave it the way it is he meant let transgenders go into any bathroom they want don’t make a law against it like they did in North Carolina.
Hogwash. This is not a real issue. How many Trannies do you know? I grew up with them and it was a non issue.
Which means obscenity laws currently on the books still apply, no matter how you spin it.
He did not.
But Republicans in power didn't do anything about SCOTUS decreeing homo marriage though. House Republicans have the power to impeach judges. To defund the Left and their agenda. What did Republican Governors do? They folded like Goodwill suits. If they would have done this, the transgender agenda would be a moot point.
“I doubt Trump has spent 30 minutes total in his life thinking about gays and gay public policy.”
Nice post ..no more lawyer politicians who have never had to make it in the real world.
I have been told that often. As Mr R says “there is you and there is EVERYONE else...”
