Trump appeared on Meet The Press on October 24, 1999, where he had several exchanges with Tim Russert:
RUSSERT: Do you think gays should be allowed to be married?
TRUMP: It’s something I haven’t given lots of thought to. I live in New York City, there is a tremendous movement on to have and allow gay marriage. It’s just something that is too premature for me to comment on.
RUSSERT: How about gays serving in the military?
TRUMP: It would not disturb me. I mean, hey, I lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, so my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa, perhaps…

Trump speaketh out of both sides of his mouth!
“I am pro-choice in every respect as far as it goes, but I just hate it.” DJT
Nuance TONE....
popular widely understood concepts have now become difficult arcane mysteries.
Denial does have a way of blinding and deafening people doesn’t it
Maybe it was the values that caused them to move to Florida. I know that’s why I moved out of New Jersey.
My ex-NYer Aunt moved to Florida because she hated NY values.
it wasn’t an insult it was a fact....it didn’t include EVERY SINGLE living New Yorker QUITE PLAINLY
LA VALUES?? what are they?
please lets not hide behind imagined ignorance
Some want their guy so badly that they are willing to be disingenuous. They know EXACTLY what Cruz meant, but are willing to feign ignorance. Pre-Trump, they would have cheered Cruz’s statement.
Come on now, Freeper, you know you would have!
Exactly and well put.
I suspect sternly suspect that Donald Doesn’t have a clue as to the impact or even the MEANING of a great deal of what he says!!!
““I am pro-choice in every respect as far as it goes, but I just hate it.â€..DJT”
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Seems like a risk I wouldn’t be willing to take. Ted seems okay with it though. So we will see.
That’s good to know, but for a handful of years now, Florida as been steadily moving from red to purple or even blue.
That isn’t happening because of the pan handle, and New Yorkers aren’t moving to the pan handle.
LA VALUES?
Hmmm, let’s see, I’m going to guess that it’s a reference the values of the people of the city of Los Angeles.
I mean, obviously it’s a reference to the people of the city, because a city can’t have values, right?
So, New York values, that’s a reference to the values of the people of New York, because a city can’t have values, right? Or was he referencing the whole state of New York? I really do not know. It’s kind of confusing.
So yeah, seeing as how it is a reference to the PEOPLE and not the city (or state) itself, it most certainly DOES include EVERY SINGLE ONE QUITE PLAINLY.
New York values is a reference to the values of the PEOPLE of New York.
Please lets not hide behind imagined ignorance.
I dunno lets ask a lifelong habitué of LA?
Don defined the NEW YORK VALUES ......Ted Didn’t I didn’t
did you HEAR him defining those values?
Open Call for a Definition of LA VALUES

Open Call for a Definition of IOWA
hey might as well eh?

Lets ask DON for a update on this NEW YORK CITY VALUES for a starter!!
A majority of the people of NY.
The rest of us in NY don't share those values.
That statement is typical New York. They claim not to like abortion but they wouldn't want to impose their choice on somebody else.
NY values.
AMEN!!! talking out of both sides of their mouthes
Do whatever you want, man. I’ve said my bit on this.
I can’t even really follow what you are saying, or ranting.
I guess I’m too dumb.
This thread is starting to resemble a Jeb Bush rally anyway.
A bunch of empty chairs and 4-5 people who seem to be supporting a losing candidate.
Have fun, Mikey.
can’t even really follow what you are saying
bingo
I can’t help that you are stark, raving mad, Mikey, and that you write in similar fashion.
So, like I said to you before, whatever.
peace.
Yup. We should not evaluate Trump based on his past. We should evaluate him based on his promises of hope and change.
GO TRUMP! GO TRUMP! TRUMP. TRUMP. TRUMP. TRUMP. Embrace the cult of personality.
America? No. Trump. YES! You loved him on The Apprentice. Now you can love him in the White House.
Trump.
Trump.
African-American slaves and freedmen, were once held to a "settled (7 to 2 Supreme Court) case law and thus the law of the land, according to your definition, called Dred Scott v. Stanford.
Dred Scott was a slave owned by a man who moved him from a slave state to a free state. Dred, trying first to purchase freedom for both himself and his family, ultimately sued his owner for his freedom, claiming that living in a non-slave state, made him a free man, Seven Supreme Court justices voted against Dred Scott, including the Chief Justice himself, determining that African-Americans, whether slave or free didn't have citizenship, so had no standing in court to sue!
In your mind and unfortunately in the minds of many ill-educated Americans today, this almost landslide decision (unlike the lopsided 5 to 4 homosexual and Roe v. Wade decisions) law would be settled law forever!
Not so for many Christian abolitionists and fair-minded Americans.
Dred Scott v. Stanford was decidedly overturned but not until American fought a Civil War.
My advice to you sir or madam, before you start thinking that any decision no matter how decisively determined, is "the law of the land or settled law" and must accepted by everyone, especially laws that not only go against humanity and against God's laws and have been honored since the beginning of time, will not be overturned, don't believe it!
Great.
Let me know when they reverse themselves or we go to war over it.
If we are not willing to take the steps to put that court in check, then it’s going to continue to rule us.
It’s as simple as that.
