NBC Pushes Trump to the Left on Transgender Bathrooms, Abortion, Taxes

Trump acknowledged that he “had a feeling that question was going to come up” and proceeded toe the liberal line of political correctness: “Well, look, North Carolina did something that was very strong and they're paying a big price and there's a lot of problems....People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate. There has been so little trouble.”

...

Fellow co-host Savannah Guthrie turned to the subject of abortion: “The Republican platform, every four years, has a provision that states that the right of the unborn child shall not be infringed. And it makes no exceptions for rape, for incest, for the life of the mother. Would you want to change the Republican platform to include the exceptions that you have?”

Trump agreed without hesitation: “Yes, I would. Yes, I would. Absolutely. For the three exceptions. I would.”

...

Later in the discussion, Guthrie asked if Trump would support a tax hike: “Do you believe in raising taxes on the wealthy?” Again he sounded like a Democrat: “I do. I do, including myself. I do.”

the closer he gets to 1327, the more of these “new” positions we are sure to hear about . . . and of course, there is a no-returns policy on all those delegates.

Cruz’s attack on Trump is dumb. What about little girls in the bathroom with a butch lez??

If a transgender man dressed as a woman used a woman’s bathroom who would know? He have to pee in the sink!

If a transgender woman dressed as a man used a men’s bathroom who would know? They couldn’t use the urinal.

So how would they be identified?

Yup a sexual predator who decides he self identifies as a woman should have access to the ladies room.

That will be a blast at the Y, the co-Ed showers Whoopie.

Trump is folding like one of his made in China cheap suits.

"Is there any crap Mr. Trump can dish out that you will not eat? I am serious."

dittos. That's why I favor died-in-the-wool Cruz. Lots of Trumpsters had better take a long look before the final bell.

Really, how many transgendered people are there? What makes one anyhow? Is it a mental thing or do you have to have the physical attributes?i really don’t understand this whole thing.

OTOH, maybe his strongest supporters here have missed this thread. It would be helpful to post it on the rally thread, maybe?

And he can do what about these things as President?

Here we go again with the religious zealots who think that a President can actually change abortion laws or deal with State handling of the transgender issue.

Putting American first, building a wall, keeping out Muslims, aren't 'Liberal' stances.

Clearly, the MSM wants to split off conservative support from Trump, but it isn't going to happen.

“Where is the old Trump that would have said the men’s bathroom is for men and the women’s for women and they shouldn’t have to share.”

I don’t want a wienie wagger in my kids bathroom. They say this like every man in a dress is commited to some sort of gender change. All it does is open the door (actually open the door) for all kinds of pervs.

Trump’s position on taxes is on his website and hasn’t changed, what he seems to be talking about is eliminating certain loopholes used by the wealthy, like the ones the rich limousine liberals use to shelter themselves from the taxes that they demand everyone else pay. But the over all tax rates go down and the death tax is eliminated, among other things. Read here:

Ain’t that the truth!

A non issue if ever there was one - but I won’t disturb the cruzettes, having the party of their live labeling Trump as a dem. Sigh

Some people just can’t grasp the reality that it is NOT right vs left at this point in our nations history. Dumb

Trump has never said or thought that. He told everyone he was going to build a wall and all the suckers were in hook line and sinker....

He's not going to do either of those. How difficult is that to understand? You bought the magic potion that was going to fix everything from a salesman. Get a clue....

Sadly, this just opens up public restrooms to all kinds of perverts going where they please. All they have to say is that they identify as either sex. I don’t think there are a huge number of transgendered, but there are thousands of sex offenders that will be thrilled with this policy.

I found myself in the same position you described helping my mother before her death.

Real life situations never seem to be recognized by the people so willing to pass a law to “correct” a problem that doesn’t exist just to say they “did something”.

Anyone perv’ing in a bathroom, regardless whether it’s a male or female restroom is already violating existing statutes so there’s no reason to pass more restrictions that would apply to everyone just for the sake of appearances.

What’s next? Gun control because guns are sometimes used to commit illegal acts?

Yeah, people don’t seem to be able to see the forest through the trees here.

And let us please never speak of mother and death in the same anything.

That is something I don’t think I can face.

Certainly. If he comes out in favor of the mentally ill using the same bathroom with children of the opposite sex I would relegate him to the same column as you. Helpless and useless.

Cruz gets more unlikeable on a daily basis but still better than the Manhattan liberal.
