Trump the Anomic Dope

Embarrassing Advocate

One wonders how Sarah Palin and Dr Ben Carson are feeling about now.  They have both endorsed Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee.  Trump came out yesterday and supported the notion that public restrooms be open to whomever.  If men want to go to a women's toilet they can. No probs.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed the bill into law that prohibits “cities from allowing transgender individuals to use public bathrooms for the sex they identify as.”

Here is Trump at his most lucid on the matter:

Transgender people should be able to use whatever bathroom they want, Donald Trump said Thursday.  "Oh, I had a feeling that question was going to come up, I will tell you. North Carolina did something that was very strong. And they're paying a big price. There's a lot of problems," the Republican presidential candidate said during a town hall event on NBC's "Today."

Referring to comments from an unnamed commentator who on Wednesday said North Carolina should "leave it the way it is right now," Trump said he agreed.  "Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they're going through with all the business that's leaving, all of the strife -- and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is," he said, referring to companies that have canceled plans to move or expand businesses in the state as a result of the law, which bans transgender individuals from using a bathroom that does not match their gender at birth.

"There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate," Trump said. "There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic -- I mean, the economic punishment that they're taking."
Palin and Carson, both professing Christians, have endorsed Trump as a true conservative.  They have come out and said, "I stand with that man".  They must be feeling sick in the gut around about now.  At least we hope they are.

Here is Ted Cruz's response:
Donald Trump is no different from politically correct leftist elites. Today, he joined them in calling for grown men to be allowed to use little girls’ public restrooms. As the dad of young daughters, I dread what this will mean for our daughters – and for our sisters and our wives. It is a reckless policy that will endanger our loved ones.

Yet Donald stands up for this irresponsible policy while at the same time caving in on defending individual freedoms and religious liberty. He has succumbed to the Left’s agenda, which is to force Americans to leave God out of public life while paying lip service to false tolerance.

This is not real tolerance. The Left wants to force its belief system onto Americans across the country and silence people of faith in the public square. Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump is all too eager to join them. This simply confirms that the same man who favored partial-birth abortion and still supports public funding for Planned Parenthood will sacrifice principle on the altar of political correctness. Trump will not defeat political correctness. Today he bowed to it.
Donald Trump--the biggest conman since the Brooklyn Bridge was sold.  We expect within twenty-four hours, the mumbling bloviator will  lamely try to walk back his opinions--as he did over abortion.

His gullible followers like him, they say, because he is such a Straight Talker.
