Cruz slams Trump’s ‘PC’ stance on transgender public bathrooms
Washington Times ^ | 4/21/16 | None

Posted on 04/21/2016 9:26:49 AM PDT by Iowa David

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Thursday said front-runner Donald Trump had defied “common sense” and embraced political correctness by coming out against North Carolina’s law barring people from using public restrooms of the opposite sex.

“He said he thought men should be able to go into the girls bathroom if they want,” scoffed Mr. Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas. “Let me ask you, have we going stark raving mad? This is political correctness. This is nonsense.”

“That’s why I don’t trust him to stick to a conservative agenda. “

What about the America Agenda?

OOPs!

I guess you’ll be better off with the “consistent conservatives”, because the gopE and cruz have done so much to stop the gay agenda and abortion. Just keep in mind that it is not the POTUS’s job to make social engineering laws and force them on the country.

Get back to me when you get tired of being led around by your social issue nose ring. I’ll be here working on getting a wall build, immigration laws enforced, trade policies changed to benefit America and defending American interest and security.

“Yup, just succumb to the perverts.Let the laws be changed so they can hang out in any restroom they choose. What the hell, the country is lost already anyway. Let’s hurry it into the sewer. “

Really? This is the hill you want to die on? Public Restroom laws? Really? You can’t take care of your own kids and protect them in a public restroom? This is how you are going to decide who should be president?

That’s just absurd.

The male pervs that like little boys have ALWAYS gone to the men’s room.

The male pervs who like girls are now allowed in the girl’s room.Just one more thing for girls to have to keep in mind.

Two different situations.

Calm down.

And your point is?
You are the one up in arms about pervs in the restroom as if you can’t protect your own children. Not me. I protect my children, myself.

“And just who do you expect to fight against big government for you?”

I’m not the one screaming about govt. I protect my kids. I don’t need a big govt program/dept to do it for me.

You need to grab a brain.

I want it to be illegal for perverts to be in the bathroom that doesn't match their sex so that when I deal with it, I don't get arrested. I also don't want men in the women's restroom, because it is easier for me to put my fist through their face than it is for my wife to do it. Do you even understand that, or do I need to make it simpler?

Men in the women's bathroom or locker room is wrong. Anyone who can't grasp that simple fact has gone full retard. And as ever sane person knows, you never go full retard.

And if you live in Charlotte and they pass an ordinance allowing men into little girl restrooms just like actually did happen?

Newsflash,,you have a program controlling yourself.

It’s already illegal for pervs to be pervs, esp towards children! Is that news to you? It doesn’t matter what room they are in.

so you can’t protect your children without assaulting someone and you want big daddy govt to write a law saying it’s ok for your attack and the fact Trump says not so fast is offensive to you.

Got it.

Then guess what? I go into the the girls room and check it out before my daughter goes in...and I’m in the room with her the entire time. That’s how I do it now anyway.

How freaking difficult is that? And if I see some moose in there,, I’ll protect my child. I don’t need big daddy govt to write some new law about that.

This is not rocket science.

The explanation is not that he’s playing Cruz.

I keep reading: This is what Trump really meant/this is the reason for whatever.

Is it possible that it’s as simple as he’s revealing his true self and his actual thoughts when he speaks?

But let’s not panic yet. He may take it back if we just wait a few.

Not voting for him. Let all the Johnny-come-latelies to this formerly “conservative” party, who keep pushing the envelope on social conservatism, vote for him.

If you are a conservative you will have the same option you have always had, you can vote against the guy you dislike most. I have voted for exactly one President and one Vice President in my 77 years.

Public restrooms will become a pervert’s paradise.

They already are. Where have you been? And, you've probably already shared them with "men" that looked like women and not even realized it. That's very unfortunate but it's the truth.

That's nice but has nothing to do with the issue. These laws as they are being written, and that Trump supports, will allow any man who wakes up in the morning and identifies with being a woman, to hang out in any women's restroom or locker that he chooses and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

If you're OK with that then I hope you never have children. It's a pretty simple call, but for some reason, the guy with a very good brain doesn't know the difference between right and wrong. Such are the values of some people. When conservatives start arguing that we should allow, without any consequences, grown men, or boys for that matter, to share a bathroom with little girls (that they are not related to in any way), then all is lost. It's basic blocking and tackling for a healthy society. Some people, including conservatives, want to run it into the sewer, and the faster then better.

“So parents should just abdicate the child’s public restroom safety to big daddy govt?”

?? Do we “abdicate” to government when murder is outlawed?

We are one USSC vote away from losing the 2nd Amendment.

I keep seeing this argument as if Cruz would protect us from a bad supreme court choice, when there is no evidence that he would get a strict constitutionalist as we would like. In fact I am pretty sure we will get Obama's pick as soon as this election is over, no matter who wins.

To: Democrats hate too much

This was a trap lest by the rats to get Trump to speak without first thinking about it. And just like Cruz falling into the CNN Carson is ending the campaign trap, Trumo fell into this one.

From now on, every interview, debate will have Trump and Hillary on the same page. This is 2008 all over with McCain agreeing with Obama. And there isn’t a damn thing Trumo can do about it.

No we need someone like Bush who always stuck to the Compassionate Conservative agenda.

Here u go...gnaw on this one!

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/trump-a-republican-for-now-908431

It’s worse than I thought...he’s swung back and forth several times over the past 30 years...

How will any voter feel comfortable that Trump will remain a Republican?

He could turn around and ‘transform” himself into the next Obama, but with a CEO’s predilection to tyranny!
