Trump says it’s time to move on from gay ‘marriage’ battle: ‘The Supreme Court ruled.’

LOS ANGELES, CA, August 25, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – The GOP's leading presidential candidate said that he has been to a gay "wedding" and that conservatives should accept the Supreme Court's redefinition of marriage.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Donald Trump was asked whether the issue of marriage's redefinition is "a dead issue for the GOP at this point."

"Some people have hopes of passing amendments [to the U.S. Constitution]," said Trump, "but it's not going to happen. Congress can't pass simple things, let alone that. So anybody that's making that an issue is doing it for political reasons. The Supreme Court ruled on it."

In June, Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper that he had evolved on the issue of marriage, and supports "traditional marriage." At the time, he was pressed by Tapper on whether Trump's three marriages undermined his position.

"They have a very good point," said Trump. "I have a great marriage. I have a great wife now. And I – my two wives were very good. And I don't blame them. But I was working, maybe like you, 22 hours a day."

"I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing," he said.

Trump told the Reporter that he had been to the gay "wedding" of Broadway theater owner Jordan Roth.

Putting words in my mouth? Low class.

If Trump is so bad, why is Ted Cruz sucking up to him? Must be a character flaw of Ted’s. He always was one to suck up to money. Heck, he thought McConnel was treating him fair and now Iran’s gonna get the bomb because of it.

And only an idiot would expect someone to publicly criticize a relative. Don’t seem to remember Reagan bashing his gay son. Maybe he called him an abortion loving homo and I missed it. Maybe not.

But really, when your candidate becomes relevant, then you can get some thoughtful responses from me. I’m not gonna waste time swatting down Perry supporters either, so don’t feel bad.

I know things must be getting desperate for you guys, so maybe get outside, take a walk, get off the computer for a bit. Becoming unhinged like this can not be good for your blood pressure.

Oh and one more thing. Scoreboard.

An astounding, prize winning display of entrenched willful ignorance from a soft-headed Noob.

Bravo!

When someone defines scoring as slavish devotion to a liberal, it’s understood that the individual is liberal, as well.

In this one’s case, he also seems to have the intellect of a twelve year-old.

Pretty much like most of the mouthy noobs who’ve been showing up for short stays.

Haha. You have a lot of passion. Maybe you could give some to your boring candidate. Old sleepy eyes Ted. Personality of a dead moth. Is he still begging for a joint appearance with Trump?

Trump supporters really picked a conservative winner!

No one really picked Trump, they just un-picked all the others, big difference.

In the interest of fair reporting and I know you are a real stickler for that :-) lets review The whole picture on Judge Barry.

In 1983 Maryanne Barry a REPUBLICAN was nominated by RONALD REAGAN to the US Dist Court of NJ.

In 1998 Maryanne Barry was nominated to the US Court of Appeals by Bill Clinton after his previous liberal choice was never even given a Senate hearing. The US Senate unanimously confirmed Judge Barry.

In 2006 Judge Maryanne Barry testified in favor of Judge Samuel Alito a CONSERVATIVE during his confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court.

Judge Maryanne Barry has a reputation for being tough on crime and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

If this isn’t a killer for you, it must be a winner for you.

As long as he is saying the things they want to hear, nothing is a killer for those who support liberal Donald Trump.

The trouble is that Trumpets like you are willing to accept any kind of insanity to get your liberal Democrat.

How's this for insanity?

Sure, if [Anthony] Weiner suddenly released this immigration plan and stuck his middle finger (and not his penis) at the media, Dems and RINOs, he'd have my vote before Walker or Rubio or even Cruz

Georgia Girl, you can capitalize "illegal immigration" and "Republican" and "Ronald Reagan" all you want, as though it makes the woman acceptable to those with moral values.

But it doesn't. Not one damn bit of what you posted in your attempt to praise a PRO PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION (how do you like that for capitalization?) liberal matters. Doesn't matter at all. Because none of it changes the fact that she is PRO PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION.

Do you need to read the link again? Here's a refresher. That filth you are defending called a New Jersey law against PBA a "desperate attempt" to undermind Roe vs. Wade. She said it made no difference when the "fetus expired."

Translation, because you seem to have lost your conservative principles: that means she doesn't give a damn about babies having scissors driven into their skulls. But she's the sister of your celebutard true love, so you need to jump right in there and praise her up.

Actually this is some of the worst, most sickening garbage from you Trumpsters I've seen...a conservative on a conservative forum defending a proponent of PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION.

I might feel sorry for you,because this clearly reveals the extent of your desperation to keep supporting Trump.

But I don't. Because you know PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION is a hideous evil, as well as anyone here, but you've made a conscious choice to promote one of its advocates. And you clearly do so with a light heart.

Disgusting.

Great news! Cruz is in seventh place! Feel the momentum. In all seriousness, maybe you should take a break from the whole politics thing. You kinda suck at it. And your insults, well I guess they’re okay for a middle aged woman going through menopause.
