The link is not up yet, but a few minutes ago Trump was interviewed by Sean Hannity who asked him to clarify his remarks about the NC transgender law. Trump basically said NC is feeling the pinch of a boycott and that's too bad. Hannity asked him how he thought the issue should be settled. Trump said it was a local issue and the Federal courts should never get involved. That's all he said about it. Hannity didn't ask him did he personally think drag queens should be allowed in whatever bathroom they want to use. But I did hear a spokesman for Trump say today in the Matt Lauer interview he was referring to someone who has went to court and had their sex changed on legal documents, as in after they have a sex change. I would suspect Trump will clarify what he meant in the NBC interview in a statement. When the Hannity interview is available I'll post it.
I have no illusions about who is going to be the nominee. Trump has it in the bag. I will probably vote for Trump against Hillary. I live in California, so it won’t matter anyway.
But Trump is just Romney with bad hair.
He’s started his hard turn left. Bathrooms, Taxes, Abortion. All in one day.
He will try to stay to the right of Hillary, but given his history of shooting from the hip and his knee jerk New York liberalism, it might be hard.
I’ve supported Trump and I’m upset. Leave the hero worship, cult stuff to the starry eyed liberals. Be a serious conservative adult who believes in protecting children.
You go to war with the army you have,
not the army you might want to have.
They sure as heck didn't walk into the guys bathroom dressed as gals.
They sure as heck didn't walk into the guys bathroom dressed as gals.
Could care less about Cruz but the idiotic behavior of Trump supporters is just blowing my mind. Would you drink poison kool-aid if Trump told you to drink. Transgendered freaks sharing restrooms with little girl’s is disgusting. Anyone who doesn’t think so is disgusting.
You go to war for a cause. If the cause is not just, then the war is a waste of human lives.
The only reason to vote for Trump is that he is not Hillary. At least not yet.
I'm beginning to think that Carly Fiorina would have been the best choice over these clowns.
Trump has no moral compass and no firm idea of what it means to be a conservative. IMHO he is about as trustworthy as a two dollar trumpet.
It's my opinion. But it is grounded on his past.
Amen!

Key Findings:
Mr. Trumps tax plan would substantially lower individual income taxes and the corporate income tax and eliminate a number of complex features in the current tax code.
Mr. Trumps plan would cut taxes by $11.98 trillion over the next decade on a static basis. However, the plan would end up reducing tax revenues by $10.14 trillion over the next decade when accounting for economic growth from increases in the supply of labor and capital.
The plan would also result in increased outlays due to higher interest on the debt, creating a ten-year deficit somewhat larger than the estimates above.
According to the Tax Foundations Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would significantly reduce marginal tax rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to an 11 percent higher GDP over the long term provided that the tax cut could be appropriately financed.
The plan would also lead to a 29 percent larger capital stock, 6.5 percent higher wages, and 5.3 million more full-time equivalent jobs.
The plan would cut taxes and lead to higher after-tax incomes for taxpayers at all levels of income.
Also to my horror this morning I read about activist Hedge Funds. When Trump talks about taxing the rich and the reporter drills down Trump is talking about Hedge Funds. Here is what I read this morning and I find it dangerous - who the hell elected them to be the jury, judge and executioners?
Defending Trump by defending transgendered freaks is pretty low. Our culture has literally gone into the toilet. North Carolina passes common sense legislation that keeps cities from imposing rules on businesses that force them to allow anyone who identifies with a sex they were not born with to use any bathroom facility they want and Trump comes out and condemns them and then guys like you defend him.
Pathetic.
I stand by what I said earlier:
“Uh, excuse me, where do you think those guys dressed as women went to the bathrooms last year? Yup, they went into the women's bathrooms. You didn't notice because do you really don't check out each gal who walks into the bathroom? They sure as heck didn't walk into the guys bathroom dressed as gals.”
"By the way, my name is Tim and I'm always available. I also do engine work on BMW's."
>>>He can be against NC passing a strong law against it, but acknowledge that it is a State’s issue<<<
I thought he had said the new Law was a problem because it was impacting Business in NC. I took his remarks about it from a Businessman’s perspective.
The Godfather talking about Drugs, it’s bad for Business.
Haven’t paid much attention to this. I live in CA, it’s just another day here. Nobody cares and it never been an issue, until now.
Reality in today’s America, tolerance isn’t good enough. Now that the SCOTUS invented Gay Marriage, Acceptance is demanded at the point of a gun.
The benefit of Old Age is being able to remember the difference between Normal and Abnormal.
Oh, come off it. They have been around for how long and NOW you just figured that out? Please! Answer me, where did these âfreaksâ go to the bathroom last year? The year before that? The decade before that? I cannot believe Freepers are pounding the table about this!
Maybe you should just stay home on election day
and bury your head in the sand.
That way, no matter what happens,
you can say you had no part in it.
Or you could write-in Carly Fiorina
if it would make you feel better.
Crocodile Dundee had a better skit that this one and it was really funny. I wonder how many parents take their kids to transvestite bars....uh, very few if any. I’d be more worried about sex offenders moving into the neighborhood.
No, I just don’t care for those panel shows but I guess they have to vary the routine a little.
Maybe I’ll check them out but I’ve pretty much given up on Fox for a while.
They don’t go to the women’s bathroom where I’m from. I rarely ever come in contact with them. The numbers seem grossly inflated.
It is the Trump people who ignore all the signs that this guy is anything but a conservative that have buried their heads in the sand.
He's your guy. Congratulations.
