Donald Trump says transgender people should be able to "use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate." On NBC's Today show Thursday morning, the GOP front-runner said he opposes North Carolina's "very strong" bathroom bill, which allows businesses to prohibit transgender people from doing just that.

"North Carolina did something that was very strong and they're paying a big price. And there's a lot of problems." Trump said.

The closer he gets to the nomination, the harder it is for him to avoid letting his Northeastern, Rockefeller Republican, roots show.

We must help foster their delusion because that is what enablers do.

Very PC, very liberal, very NY values. Deceptive Donald appears to be unfamiliar with the concept of State's Rights.

Knew it was coming- I voted for the conservative.

New York Liberal values.
I think he is starting the slide to the middle for the general election and how he will govern.
Actually, I am very concerned his slide will be to the LEFT of Hillary.

Yes because who uses what potty is a national issue

Trump did the right thing here, he did not step into the liberal trap

So, now we’re stuck with him and his New York values?

Hello President Hitlery.

Have to disagree with Mr. Trump here. And that is my ‘very strong’ opinion.

He did not come out against it. He said leave it as it is.

Because who uses what potty is a national issue that the federal government must step in to regulated

Maybe we need the national Potty Pecker Police, the PPP to watch over all public restrooms across the country

I repeat:

I am mystified as to how otherwise smart conservatives wind up following these rabbit holes.

Donald Trump is 100% right over this.

Transgendered folks have always existed (this has been largely considered a mental problem, btw) but unless they have some sort of biological problem...they have always taken a tinkle!

You mad that some dude might roll into a female restroom and show his “junk?” I am. Well, it has happened before and it will happen again. We have laws on the books to deal with perverts like this, already.

Maybe you’re worried that the unthinkable happens: some nut heads into the girls room and assaults some kid. I am. Btw, it has happened before and it will happen again. We have bigger, badder laws on the books to take care of this bastard.

It is foolish for a state to draw this kind of untoward attention to itself, when it already has the laws to deal with any issues. Moreover, smart legislators would move to strengthen those laws covering any matters involving inappropriate behavior in public restrooms and make sure the whole world knows it.

One more thing, ladies...the 2nd amendment belongs to you and your daughters, too!

Counting down for the inevitable pretzel-twist rationalizations from Mr. Trump’s loyal supporters.

10...9...8...7...6...5... 4... ...

(Should be fun to watch.)

Trump stepped in it with this one, he went for the PC answer, not the right one.
This is not the shiny object we should allow to distract us from the main issue, stopping the illegal alien inundation.
Trump is still the only one who will preserve the country.

This position is truly going to hurt Trump’s efforts to enlist Christian voters.

He should have said it would be a State's right issue.
But it doesn't matter what he said today. He stepped in it and like many of his positions - he will quickly modify it, correct it, change it. Soon. Like the three time flip flop in three days ,last month.

Yeah, Donald seems to be all for corporations bullying the people of North Carolina into seeing things their way as well.

I wonder if Trump believes Curt Shilling deserved to be fired from ESPN.

Yeah, but the Cruznadians are grasping at vines as they sink into the quicksand.

Trump has no concept of state’s rights. Most NY liberals don’t.

He didn’t step in it, he actually avoided it

Leave it the way it is

Don’t allow men in the women’s restrooms but don’t make it so it has to be regulated by big government either

The pervs will be taken care of as usual

(and they will do what the want anyways regardless of law)

He is wrong on this gotcha question which is not surprise. What can he do to change it?

Pray America wakes
