Fresh from his victory in the New York primary, Republican front-runner Donald Trump — with his family at this side — paid a visit Thursday morning to the TODAY Plaza to answer voters' questions in a live town hall.

ping to video.
I viewed these Trump remarks LIVE, in the last hour of Morning Joe this morning, when they split away to join the NBC affiliate Town Hall with Trump, on the Plaza.
When baited with the bathroom question, Trump’s response was so subtle and reasonable and low key, I never even blinked.
I got out of it that this bathroom issue had been no problem at all before, until it was, and that North Carolina legislature reacted and was catching criticism.
He said the best answer he had heard on the issue came from a commentator who said the bathrooms should just remain the same, go back to the way they were.
That is what TRUMP repeated, were the words of a commentator.
TRUMP himself was opposed to regulations on small businesses to now have to build a third bath room to accommodate transies.
He had no problem with Caitlyn Jenner using a womens bathroom at TRUMP Tower.
The whole thing was a non-issue except if it resulted in bathroom regs on business.
Cruz in his typical dramatic interpretation feigned shock that men could be in bathrooms with little girls in public schools, which is such a reach from what TRuMP was asked.
That is the way Mrs. Submareener and I saw it as well. Donald Trump answered a stupid question with a sensible response.
I see that as desperation. Cruz had his head handed to him in NY in embarrassing fashion, finishing a distant third behind Kasich, and barely had 15 per cent of the vote. It was a crushing defeat by all measures.
So being that Cruz is doing so poorly, the Cruz supporters are going to parse everything Trump says and attempt to create controversy out of it. It's really all they have left now.
And Cruz is about to get utterly crushed again in five more states come Tuesday. He may finish third behind Kasich in 3 or 4 of them. His much ballyhooed ground game is pretty much non-existent in the Northeast and Deep South. You can't win a national election that way.
Is this the one where Trump supported men in women’s bathrooms, or the one where he called for taxing the rich, or the one where he promised to soften the GOP stance on abortion?
Apparently all of the above?
And touch back illegal immigrant amnesty but I guess that’s been his position all along.
Glad to hear you had a similar take and that I am not going to hell for not clutching my pearls over a reasoned answer.
I nearly fell over when Cruz was railing against TRUMP for men and little girls in bathrooms and something about public schools..
Gawd, Cruz is living in a bubble of magical thinking, totally delusional.
TRUMP addressed a sense of discriminatory practices, which is reasonable given the advances perverts have made in the courts.
A non-story story. Thanks, guys.
Watch the damn video, if your haven’t already cut off your air supply and clutched your pearls too tightly.
You all pour Cruz all over your cereal when you swallow?
Opposed to viewing what was asked? And how it was answered.
Only Cruz took it off and over the cliff side, morphing it into absurdity, having something to do with men and little girls.
Cruz is in an imaginary universe.
D E S P E R A T E
What part of leaving and coming back legally is not conservative? What part of what he said was new?
Another Cruzer loser nothing Burger.
BTW its over for Cruz, Trump sewed up the Nomination with the RNC today- he offered to help fund the down ticket GOP aka Game set and match. The #neverTrump delegates get new orders to support Trump instead of Cruz :)
Oh, I’m agreeing with you.
I’m just confused as all get-out as to why the Cruzies are going so NUTS today.
LOLOL...tell it, dear Rita!!
Exactly what I was thinking....about the pearls :)
That’s the way I saw it too.
There must have been a dozen threads on this today from Cruz folks.....
......totally out of control.
Contrived and overplayed effort on their part.
I read that the troll was there. I didn’t know there was a Cruz connection to the bimbo. I will read your link.
Cruz does step right out of his boots sometimes. Always playing Shakespeare in the figgin’ park, anything can come out of his mouth.
What he has done with this simple Trump Q&A should be added to textbook psych cases and symtoms, right beside picking lint out of a sun stream.
