Woo Hoo! What great NYC values! Where’s Mr. Apple to tell us how good Trump was on the Today show??

Matt Lauer could hire 3-4 pinheads like you for a year on what he makes in a day.

They don't pay Lauer that kind of cake for selling soap.

It's because he can gut a Donald Trump or a Ted Cruz on the air in a microsecond.

And what would St. Cruz do about the bathroom issue as President?

Jedi, you seem to not be a parent or someone who has taken care of little kids. When you have a little kid and they have to go to the bathroom you take them in with you. We had two girls and a boy, the youngest is now in her mid-thirties. I had the girls with me I took them into the men’s room. No one ever complained.

My wife said she has seen lots of fathers take little girls into the ladies restroom and she has never seen anyone object to that either. It is irresponsible to let little kids go into public restrooms alone. It is dangerous, they make a mess if no one assists them and they can be nuisances to other people. Obviously at some point they get old enough that they no longer want your assistance and if you decide that they can handle it, then you wait outside.

I have spent a great deal of time working as a volunteer bus driver at retirement centers and nursing homes. I have assisted little old ladies into women’s restrooms and have also had to retrieve them when they have had difficulties. No one ever complained about that either.

I don’t understand what your point is about schools. Do you think that we need to start legislating new bathroom etiquette laws at schools also. You Cruz guys must have had a lot of bad experiences in bathrooms. What type of places do you hang out at?

I am waiting for a supporter of Cruz to tell me what President Cruz would do about it?

It is a non-issue for a President!

It is a local issue.

What do you think Cruz is going to do about it?

You have no idea what you ae talking about! Although i have, in my extensive travels, used UNIsex bathrooms, I have NEVER encountered “a man walking outside peeking through the cracks in the doors.”
I have no intention of going through the rest of my life bent out of shape over whether or not there is someone with “ulterior motives” somewhere in my vicinity. You Chicken Littles always screaming that the sky is falling I find extremely disgusting. There are far too many “LAWS” in the country already, most pushed by people who see harm where there is little if any! Thomas Jefferson warned about too many laws. Too bad idiots somehow think everyone should live in perpetual fear. I don’t !

But that is BS. Trump never gave a rat’s butt about ground zero. Never even visited it until he was running for president.

Well, except when Trump visited Ground Zero. Click on the pic to see why altura is wrong.

You are in strong delusion if you think Cruz is ever going to be the nominee.

I can't wait to see you guys disappear when Trump becomes the nominee!

All of the hot air will be gone from FR!

Do you not realize that women have always had the right to undress in private without having naked men be able to watch them?

Change your screen name to JoffreyJones. "Clutch the pearls, JoffreyJones!"

Thank you for your reasonable and realistic real life post. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I also wonder just how these Cruz people expect to ENFORCE their so called PERVERT LAW. Are they going to have a policeman standing by outside every bathroom door in the country to check someone’s credentials before they enter behind those hallowed doors?
It must be terrible to go through life terrorized by what MIGHT happen all the time.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciated your comments tonight. Nothing has indicated to me more than this latest “restroom controversy” how little substance is left in the Cruz campaign. Cruz started with lots of good positions and points, now he has reduced himself to making comments that about restrooms that prove only that he never took care of his own children.

Early on I was labeled a “transgender activist” for pointing out this is a NON-ISSUE that the federal government has no business in. It is just a sign of how desperate and frantic Cruz followers have become.

Did you miss the below linked story when it came out? People who want to not be forced to undress in front of and look at naked men just to use a facility are being discriminated against. It’s easy for you to say it hasn’t affected you, so you don’t care. You could say that about a lot of things. But you should support laws defending the rights of people even if they’re not you.

What’s happening now is good citizens are being told they have to accept the naked opposite sex roaming around their facilities or they have to leave. We NEED the law to protect good people from losing their privacy rights to the loonies.

Agreed. I tend to think about this whole issue as being somewhat like the Victorian English who demanded the marble genitals of Michelangelo’s DAVID be covered with a fig leaf at the Great Exposition in London.
Talk about a tempest in a teapot....................

It is NOT a non-issue for a President! This case will probably hit the Supreme Court this year or as soon as the leftists think they have a court packed enough to win. Then it will be ILLEGAL to STOP someone from the opposite sex from going in whatever bathroom they want.

Social issues are at least as important as all the other issues. The left has transformed this country more on social issues than on any others. That is where we have been losing over and over and where we must fight back the hardest.

Cruz has convinced many that we have to agree 100% with the morals and opinions of our President. He’s also made the case that Trump was bad therefore can never really change.

Cruz needs to read the Bible. God often uses imperfect men, i.e. Paul, to accomplish his ends. I’m not looking for a morally perfect President, just one that God will use to put America back on track.

I’ve known women who refused to use unisex bathrooms. We’re now on the clear path to the courts mandating that EVERY bathroom be effectively unisex. The logic of the same-sex marriage ruling means that separate bathrooms must be viewed as the same as segregated water fountains in the Jim Crow era. When you say we can afford to ignore social issues, you hand the victory on those issues to the left wrapped up in a bow.
