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.

I guess he'll be boycotting the state now like all the other show biz phonies. He'll probably give their electoral votes back.

I guess that means that no liberal can carry North Carolina, since opposition to men using the little girls' room is now Nazism.

“Well, it has happened before and it will happen again.”

Difference is:
- “before”, we were able to remove anything with a penis from the women’s room - letting society prevent exposure/molestation/rape well before it could happen;
- “after” the current LBGT push, laws are moving to _protect_ the right of that penis’ owner to enter the women’s room, leaving us to wait for an actual victimization before anything could be done - and done only after the fact.

Many people are naturally anxious when they have to use their genitals (”take a tinkle”), and someone with the other set shows up using theirs in close proximity - that creates a natural & base fear, which societies have long addressed by segregating such facilities by sex. YOU may not have a problem with it, but MANY DO - _especially_ those who _have_ been sexually assaulted.

“some nut heads into the girls room and assaults some kid. I am. Btw, it has happened before and it will happen again.”

Yes - BUT WE DON’T NEED TO MAKE LAWS _FACILITATING_ IT!!!
Prevention, man!

It will take thousands of these anti-conservative positions before the googley-eyed besmitten trumpvestites realize that their love for Trump is a mental illness. But by then it will too late to reattach their hacked off conservatism.

I agree with your sentiment, but I care about it.

What can I do about it?

I’ve got a GOPe stooge as the backup.

Ah..., hell no!

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

Oh yes. All true "conservatives" must now join the battle against "over-regulation" by G-d's Laws! [/sarcasm]

People are missing the point that this now takes any attack by Hillary on this issue off the table.

Guess what ? if he assumes all of Hillary's opinions, or even moves to the LEFT of her - THAT also takes all her attacks away. So we elect someone who has Hillary's opinions, so we don't get her? Are you kidding me ?

Well, it might sound like a minor issue, but if Trump wants the law gone, and the city of Charlotte (and potential others) back to their own resolution of allowing men to go into ladies restrooms,’ locker rooms, and showers, if they “feel” that particular day that they are a woman... then, Trump is not going to get my vote.

Trump wants to side with the perverts and homo-fascists, then to hell with him!

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

Who cares who uses which bathroom:

Build the wall.

Take the oil.

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

My 7-year-old daughter is neither legally nor emotionally ready to carry a handgun and decide whether to kill someone with it.

It’s a whole lot easier for everyone if we just declare penises belong in the men’s room, and vaginas belong in the women’s room, and the sexually confused are welcome to use the single-user washrooms nearby.

Target is allowing “transgender” men to use women’s restrooms, there is already a backlash against this. Target will loose many customers since women are the primary shoppers. I hope this punch on the nose will teach Target a lesson. There are many competitors to Target within the area of any Target store, it is so easy to go to a competing store where you can feel safer. I am going to call Target and tell them what I think of their very bad decision.

When Imam Cruz issues a fatwa, the Cruzlims have to act.

Delusional Trumpster no doubt. Please read the entire statement. Are you trying to walk this back? This should be good.

President Hillary Clinton will be an honored guest at Donald Trump’s next wedding.

When your house is on fire, you don’t call a plumber to fix the garbage disposal; you call a fireman to put out the fire before it burns your house down.

Immigration, trade, & terrorism are the three fires burning our country down.

While I believe Cruz would make an excellent terrorism fireman, he is in no way an immigration or trade fireman. Those fires will burn as just as brightly as they are now if Cruz becomes president.

I sympathize (and agree) with those concerned about social issues, but these were long time developing problems, the solutions will take a long time to develop also. The next president (Cruz or otherwise) will have minimal (if any) impact in turning them back.

Our national house is on fire; immigration, trade, and terrorism are the fires burning it. Trump is far from the ideal candidate, but he is the ONLY fireman in the race.

If not Trump, who?
