Trump gives a direct, strong answer on transgendered people and bathrooms.

I like the way he focused on the role of law. North Carolina enacted a law, and now "they're paying a big price, and there's a lot of problems." Law wasn't needed, because: "There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble." There was already a social adjustment that accommodated people who needed to be accommodated.

Asked whether he would let Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman, use the bathroom of her choice at Trump Tower, he said he would. He added, "There's a big move to create new bathrooms. Problem with that is … first of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. It would be unbelievably expensive for businesses and for the country. Leave it the way it is."

He was clear, practical, and sensible. He didn't go into impugning anyone on either side but saw it in terms of economics and law — and by law, I mean the limits of law, where it should end and where social etiquette works.

Scroll to 8:24 for the relevant part.

ADDED: Trump seems to be letting his roots grow out. Can we expect to see him with a fully white head of hair by the time the election rolls around? The location of the white part now gives some clues as to the directionality of the combover. I hope he gets a haircut soon, leaving the whole crazy swirl shorter and removing all that's left of the orangosity.

If somebody is in the bathroom minding their own business and relieving themselves or washing hands or otherwise freshening up, what’s the problem?

Sounds like a Trump perspective.

In Trumps "great" America:

1. Do you see no necessity or precedent for single sexed bathrooms?

2. Should the only public communal bathrooms available for use be those which cater to the "needs" of the sexually confused?

3. If you have young daughters do you have any problem with a guy turning away from a urinal openly flashing his junk at your little impressionable ladies?

4. Did he break a law by not zipping his junk up before he turned from the urinal?

You sound like you're from Jersey.

FReegards!

The people of Charlotte voted for this by electing people who support this viewpoint.

The state of NC has made it a state issue. This will end up in the Supreme Court, who will side with the transgenders. It will be law of the land in every state. Thanks NC.

“So how would they be identified?”

I’ve asked this. No definite answers. These guys want to just emote, not think.

That is why NC folded. They couldn’t answer any of this either. I suppose you stick a hand down pants and require everyone to carry around a birth certificate if it isnt obvious.

They took time off when cruz got beat by the vot5ers again and have all got their talking point, but it seems they don’t read transcripts or watch videos as he never states what some are stating here.

It’s like a bunch of kids who cannot think for themselves. Also some people it seems have way too much time on their hands when they are on here over 18 hours a day , hell get a hobby, go outside and get some air if you are retired.

I supported Romney when he became Obama’s opponent, just as I voted for McCain four years earlier. I like neither man.

The answer is not to worry about Donald. Take care of your family.

Donald said we should not disrupt the world over where someone wants to go to use the bathroom. He is right. The PC world will never stop inventing reasons to disrupt society. Whereas we can and should take care of things at a local level.

Do not let kids use any bathroom alone, if there is the slightest reason to be suspect, go in the room with your child. If there is something illegal going on, leave and report. We do not need new signs or “permission”. And we do not need special rooms for special interest groups.

Is Ann left wing? No! More than half the things you post are left wing sources. So you seem to like the left.

Respectfully, I don’t know that the Bible provides guidance on this issue. But as others have said, there are laws against all the inappropriate behaviors that you can imagine already. Flashers and other perverts exist, and are charged and prosecuted under state law, because states have jurisdiction over these matters under their criminal statutes, and the courts have the task of defining the constitutionality of the law.

I just posted information that says that not everyone sees this the same way as you or I probably do. That happens all the time in a free society.

I believe he stated the law should stay as it is.

[inpajamas]

Trump is perverted.

[manc]

he never said the law was wrong, why do you lie,, he stated the law should stay, Good grief read the frigging transcript instead of headlines on here and jumping to conclusions

[taxcontrol]

More accommodation of depravity and perversion.

[manc]

so you don;t stand on morals, just go with the flow then.

[2ndDivisionVet]

So instead of dealing with Trump’s statements, you attack the OP? How typical.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Every aspect of Western Society is under assault, from the trivial to the major, and we are losing.

[Fresh Wind]

Maybe the Cruz people can bundle their posts.

[The Right wing Infidel]

Another thread?

[manc]

you ignore how cruz takes money off a homosexual activist who is a millionaire from TX and yet get bend out of shape over bathrooms and yet you supported Romney.

Good grief.

“What is this, the 40th Bathroom thread today?”

Vet is just doing his job :)

[txhurl]

And Ted Cruz will be called a seditionist for calling out Trump’s unfulfilled promises.
