WASHINGTON (AP) The Latest on campaign 2016 (all times Eastern):
8:15 a.m.
Donald Trump says he believes transgender people should be able to use whichever bathroom they choose.
Speaking at a town hall event on NBC's "Today" Thursday, Trump said North Carolina's so-called "bathroom law," which directs transgender people to use the bathroom that matches the gender on their birth certificates, has caused unnecessary strife.

I haven’t read the legislation. But I have a question that some one might know. When they say transgendered, are they referring to people that have changed equiptment, or is the law for people that are just making the claim of being transgender?

No. The alpha male should have showed his true conservative values and kept men out of the womens room.
He doesnt back down from calling people stupid and ugly so why not get mad and say what he really thinks about non-normal sexuality. No political corrective babble here.

If I am accused of being a staunch supporter of Ted Cruz and his conservative Christian principles, may there be enough evidence to convict me. I am don-o and I agree and appreciate this whole message.

If you are wrong on abortion and wrong on sex-perverts, you are almost certainly wrong on just about everything else. I only wish people had figured this out about four months ago. Congratulations, Trumpsters: you've ensured that we only have a "choice" between two toxic liberals this November. Way to go!

“Yeah, you don’t like the idea. Sure. You had to say that or put your flame suit on. But, like Trump, I don’t believe you for a moment. “
Well so?
I’m not here to get your royal approval.
“You defend Trump’s call that this is discriminatory so you’re not concerned about this in the least. I mean, are we going to put cops at every bathroom?
I defended it? I said that the way the NC law was put forward would be unworkable short of every “trans” person being a harry dude in a dress to make it easy, or having someone at the door to check BCs.
If the law was better written, then North Carolina would not have abandoned it so easily.
If you have some insight into how you were going to catch anyone that isn’t a big burly guy, then ill be glad to hear it and not your sneering replies.

Right. The culture doesn’t matter. Thanks for making it clear that social conservatives don’t matter. As long as you’re on a roll, please confirm for us that you’re fine sharing a bathroom with a grown man in a dress, who has mental issues, and that you’re just fine with 5 year old girls using the same bathroom with grown men strangers.

Name one single piece of legislation Cruz submitted to address this problem. The need is not for more legislation. The need is to delete about 99% of what has been enacted since the Great Society was created.

yep, perhaps at least 2 times. Walk back the original statement, then walk back the walk back.

“Right. Now I understand your position. Standing for decency and the right to privacy doesn’t matter...”
So do you have an answer or not?
If you want a law, then figure out how you are going to cross the Ts and dot the Is. Simply barking that you occupy the “high ground” isnt enough.
Or maybe you need to remember how gay marriage is now legal despite all of our screaming.

And we will all be lambasted for listening to what he said instead of being smart enough to know what he meant.
As he feels more and more confident the nomination is his, his inner Democrat will arise. I don’t know if this issue qualifies as a walk back for him as I don’t know what his original position on this was.
But the walk backs are coming . For example he’s walked back on his claim that he will pay off that 19 $20 trillion debt in eight years . Not that anyone believed it was really going to happen but his supporters here claimed to suggest that he won’t was heresy
I may or may not end up voting for him if he is the nominee in November . But I am under no illusion that he’s a conservative that’s going to shrink the size of the federal government and return more power to the states
It would be based on only the fact that what Hillary Clinton did to those brave souls in Benghazi was just an appetizer to what she’ll do to the country

Theres a poster leasing an effort to repeat that [Giuliani purge] now. mk someone...
Im guessing mkjessup.
That would be me. You win the kewpie doll sweetheart.
Ted Cruz is the only POTUS candidate since Reagan that my conservative Christian conscience leads me to be all in on. I have watched in fascinated horror as the Boss went from all in... to theyre both OK... to trump is going to win so abandon Cruz... to actually leading the mob in slandering and maligning one of the few true Christian conservative leaders available today.
I will remain all in for Ted Cruz until the end, or until I am purged, whichever comes first.
If I am accused of being a staunch supporter of Ted Cruz and his conservative Christian principles, may there be enough evidence to convict me.
You need to update yourself with a thorough examination of the Cruz Cult '7 Mountains/Dominionist' doctrine, which is NOT Christian, Cruz' daddy has declared that his son is 'annointed by God to rule over our society', and that means that once King Cruz has ascended to the Dominionist Throne, that among his many duties will be to initiate the transfer of the "wealth of the wicked, to the righteous", and that sort of hyper religious hoopla ought to give any REAL Christian the willies.
Ted Cruz is now an integral part of the GOPe, and there is no denying that. You can put on blinders, stick your fingers in your ears and babble the usual "nyah-nyah-nyah-can't hear you" but that is the reality which you must ultimately confront. See my tagline if you need another reminder.

Now FR is promoting a candidate more liberal than Rudy.”
Yep. It’s mind-boggling.
To: Axeslinger
Im just gonna sit back and laugh and at all the damn fool trumpeters. Weve been warning about this for months. Oh, they'll twist about for a day or two, then gin up some tortured, wending rationale about how Trump's statement is just another example of his "advanced thinking." The trumpettes will be lauding it all as "brilliant" by Sunday.

Name one single piece of legislation Cruz submitted to address this problem. It is a state-level issue, so why would a U.S. Senator introduce legislation? There's no legitimate federal interest.
To: don-o
Does this get walked back? Or is the inner liberal leaking out?
This guy has never been conservative on social issues. He is a catastrophic candidate.
