That's it for me.

(CNSNews.com) - Republican Donald Trump, appearing on Thursday's "Today" show, said transgenders should be allowed to "use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate."
"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?" host Matt Lauer asked Trump.
"That is correct," Trump said.
Asked for his view on the North Carolina bathroom controversy, Trump said the state has "paid a big price" for requiring transgenders to use the restroom that corresponds with their biological sex.
"Leave it the way it is," he said.
"One of the best answers I heard was from a commentator yesterday, saying 'Leave it the way it is right now.' There have been very few problems. Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they're going through with all of the business that's leaving and all of the strife, and that's on both sides -- you leave it the way it is.
"There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife, and the -- the economic punishment that they're taking."
AD FEEDBACK
Trump said he doesn't know if he has any transgender people working for him. "I probably do, I really don't know."
Trump noted that there's a "big move to create new bathrooms" for transgenders.
"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."
Why would I give a crap about polls? Do you think reality and social forces are going to be held back because of the opinions of idiocracy?
Well you’re not going to change anything politically without the votes of the “idiocracy”. But do feel free to continue your day dream.
What about letting women who are attracted to women use the woman's bathroom?
You keep thinking “legitimate” It’s the rules you know. Votes be damned.
If you can’t kill the infidels with the first bomb, set the second one (bigger) 30 minutes later so you can kill the first responders.
I’m done here with you.
Was not intended as a pander at all.
Sadly, more people know it as Caitlyn than Bruce.
I remember Bruce in the 70s. Want to keep those happy memories intact.
Trump is not a liberal. He is a populist; but he is still the best among bad choices.
That's it for me.
I for one will not allow Hillary to win just because of this stupid issue. And yes, I feel strongly about the issue, but let's face it this is not about bathroom. It is about the invalid gender identity issue pushed by the left.
A policy barring a transgender student from using the boys’ restrooms at his Virginia high school is discriminatory, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
I think people try to sough off the issue because they themselves don't feel strongly about it. What they don't grasp is that the forced Homosexual acceptance "goal posts" will keep getting moved until it overruns the point where they *DO* feel strongly about it, but because they didn't fight the easier battles, it's too late to win the harder battles.
We have long since passed the point where there is any sort of boundary between state and federal issues. That proposition 8 that passed in California but was overturned by a Judge, *THAT* is where we are now.
Everything is Federal now.
Thats absolute bull. Trump is on the same pace,quit lying like your hero.
This is not a surprise.
Good question.
One way to tell: the gender confused person is just trying to go to the bathroom. The pervert is peeking into the next stall or trying to do even worse.
There was no problem in the past. This was all a set-up by the liberals.
Meant fighting and hoping FOR Trump.
Because it's yet another issue where they can portray Conservatives as "Haters". Gay marriage was just the beginning, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Which is great.
What did Congress or Cruz do about it?
N O T H I N G !
Cruz and his supporters are always looking for another reason to slam Trump. Cruz has been homo friendly since he was a teenager, and has courted money from homosexual activists since he got in politics. Guarantee you he would tell them if elected president he sees nothing wrong with drag queens (but he would the PC transgender) using whatever bathroom they felt like using. Cruz is the biggest fake and phony who’s ever ran for president. He’ll say anything for a dollar or a vote.

And the score is....
"he also worked as an adviser on the Ukrainian presidential campaign of Viktor Yanukovych[9] even as the U.S. government (and McCain) opposed Yanukovych because of his ties to Russia's Vladimir Putin.[4] Manafort was hired to advise Yanukovych months after massive street demonstrations known as the Orange Revolution overturned Yanukovych's victory in the 2004 presidential race. [10] Borys V. Kolesnikov, Yanukovich’s campaign manager, said the party hired Manafort after identifying organizational and other problems in the 2004 elections, in which it was advised by Russian strategists. [9]"
...(D-)emoralized Bat Tard Super Geniuses ZERO, Communist Oligarch Super villains +1.
Tell us, Wiley, - why was the demoralization of American culture a strategic objective for Yanukovych and Putin's fellow Oligarchic communist thugs?
Thank you! All of a sudden everyone is letting their children get molested in bathrooms because of transgenders? What about same sex molestation which is likely more common anyways amongst males.
Like you said, if one is leaving their kids in public bathrooms unattended and open to harm, dont blame the government
Sorry but I think it was apt. You drank the kool-aid and it showed. I say that with sadness because you are actually one of the most thoughtful posters here (I think I said that once). But you went full, well, not full-retard, but you bought his populism hook line and sinker and went all attack-dog against another good conservative.
In all your time on FR this is the one item on which I can say you were blind-sided. I am glad that you see the light and will practice better discernment in the future. Hey, even folks our age can learn.
Slow down. Trump was asked about transgenders not transvestites. In most cases only legally recognized transgenders - they had to have gone through a process recognized by the medical establishment and issued an ID card as a transgender - can use their assigned sex id facilities in New York. There is no way Trump can ban a transgender person from his bathroom.
What I am seeing is social Cruz warriors mix the transvestite thing with transgender to confuse the issue and get their social conservative attack going on Trump.
