Title: Despite NY Win, It Was a Bad Week for Trump

Despite his big win in New York on Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has had a pretty bad week. But will it matter? It should -- and just might.

During an NBC "Today" show town hall Thursday, the host read a question from Twitter concerning Trump's views on LGBT issues and how he plans to be inclusive as president. "Speak about North Carolina bathroom law in particular."

Trump responded: "I had a feeling that question was going to come up, I will tell you. Well, look, North Carolina did something that was very strong, and they're paying a big price, and there's a lot of problems. ... North Carolina, what they're going through, with all of the business that's leaving and all of the strife -- and that's on both sides -- you leave it the way it is. 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."

In response to a follow-up question, Trump said he would not support putting new bathrooms in Trump Tower. "I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way."

These politically correct answers from the alleged king of political incorrectness have to be music to the ears of Democrats -- not only those far left enough to agree with Trump's view but all others because they know this will alienate Trump from the tons of Republican voters who recognize such lunacy. Perhaps Trump should have been more forthcoming about his true New York liberal values.

Before you buy into Trump's inevitable walk-back of this disaster, remember how he began his answer: that he had anticipated the question. I'm not sure whether that should be more damning than if his answer had been purely spontaneous, revealing his true feelings apart from political calculation, but it's greatly troubling either way.

Trump says he is concerned about the strife and "the economic punishment (North Carolina is) taking." But it seems he also sees the issue from the perspective of adult men who want to use little girls' bathrooms. Has he even considered this from the perspective of the parents of these girls and all other sane people who don't feel comfortable sharing bathrooms with people of the opposite gender?

Who thinks like this, other than a candidate pandering to new constituencies? Who actually believes that prohibiting grown men from using little girls' bathrooms is discriminatory against the transgender community rather than against the 99 percent of people who have always had the comfort of going to public restrooms without the fear that people of the opposite gender could invade their privacy? Isn't protecting public safety one of government's chief duties?

It will be interesting to see how Trump's infinitely forgiving fans explain this one away or whether they'll even bother to try. I get it; all they think about is unfair trade and "the wall," so maybe they'll explain why Trump wants to tear down public bathroom walls.

Also on Thursday, Trump said he would support raising taxes on the rich, which should concern all economic conservatives who support reducing taxes across the board to stimulate robust economic growth. It should also concern Trump's defenders who believed he was standing by the tax plan posted on his website, which includes a cut to the top rate, from 39.6 percent to 25 percent.

Those convinced that Trump has few ideological moorings and an inclination toward liberal positions are vindicated -- again. No matter what written plans Trump has proposed for use in his campaign, his instincts are to support the liberal position on many issues. And for those who buy that he's made a strong conversion from his previous liberal ways, you should know that there has apparently been no change in Trump's views about taxes since 1991, when he testified as a Democratic expert witness and described Ronald Reagan's tax cuts as "catastrophic."

Those who still believe in the sincerity of Trump's conversion to conservatism should be aware of the other bombshell that exploded this week in Camp Trump, which may be the most troubling of all.

In a private meeting aimed at reassuring concerned GOP leaders about Trump's positions and electability in a general election, Trump's "chief lieutenants" reportedly told them that Trump has been "projecting an image" up to this point in the primary season and "the part that he's been playing is evolving" in a way that will make him more palatable to general election voters. How utterly comforting.

Trump's new campaign guru, Paul Manafort, reportedly told Republican National Committee members that Trump has two personalities -- a private one and another one when he's onstage. "When he's out on the stage, when he's talking about the kinds of things he's talking about on the stump, he's projecting an image that's for that purpose. You'll start to see more depth of the person, the real person. You'll see a real different guy."

So his own campaign chief just comes right out and says Trump has been playing a role -- pretending to be someone he's not? This is just incredible stuff, folks.

For the life of me, I don't understand how Trump's most ardent supporters can feel comfortable relying on his always-shifting promises -- even on immigration. Those who still feel comfortable about his candidacy baffle me.

Yes, Trump won his liberal home state resoundingly, but looking back, this could be one of his worst weeks of the campaign.

" Donald Trump only referred to coach Paterno.

The Penn State case involved an ex-coach, Jerry Sandusky, who left coaching in 1999.

Joe Paterno is not alleged to have been a pedophile. "

Agree. Thanks for the history.

But it still was politically stupid for Trump to interject opinion into the whole sordid matter.

IMHO, politically, he should have stayed out of it.

We will support the Constitution Party.

I know in the grand scheme of things, me & my family are not that many votes. But, I suspect there are a lot more just like us. How many is yet to be seen.

He desperately needs to learn when to STFU !

Here's the flaw in your logic.

Those issues that caused you to flee Trumps support, how do you think that asshole Commie Sanders stands on those positions? How do you think that twat, KILLary feels about them? Then ask yourself, how they stand on the border, guns, social welfare.

Then take a step back and think, who's the only person that can beat either of those socialist scumbags.... and all of a sudden, I don't care if some sick twisted faggot dressed like a girl walks in the girls room to deposit a turd.

Despite his big win in New York on Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has had a pretty bad week.

Actually, it was not all that bad for Trump. His New York destruction of Ted Cruz mathematically eliminated the only remaining competition for a first ballot win. It sent the Cruz campaign cratering, and Trump rising in the polls so that he appears on the cusp of 5 more primary victories of NY proportions, and polls 49% in California with a 27 point lead.

Indeed, Trump's week went much better than that of the Limbaugh brothers. Life is not easy being a shill for the GOP Elites when they choose to back Ted Cruz for tactical reasons, and turn their shills out as presstitutes to spout the party nonsense.

The party attempt to open a lane for Paul Ryan, John Kasich or another non-Trump/Cruz candidate came crashing down. Having presstituted themselves for Ted Cruz, David Limbaugh is left attempting to fictionalize that Trump had a bad week when he utterly destroyed the Limbaugh's man Cruz.

As Cruz has declined to just die, and he carries on with a zombie campaign, Trump will kill him 5 more times on Tuesday. David Limbaugh can once again presstitute himself to declare that Trump's additional 5 wins, and various additional third-place finishes for Cruz, add up to a bad week for Trump.

I'll concede that no candidate will think 100% like me... I like it when Trump is blunt enough to let me know where we differ... all the others are turds painted gold and polished. Then we get the same old same old.... either party sucks

Donald Trump only referred to coach Paterno.

The Penn State case involved an ex-coach, Jerry Sandusky, who left coaching in 1999.

Joe Paterno is not alleged to have been a pedophile. The incidents are not alleged to have occurred while Sandusky was a coach.

I certainly agree that Paterno is not a pedophile and is a decent man. I believe these issues happened when Sandusky was participating in private youth camps on the facilities of Penn State. There were eye witnesses there to many strange things going on with Sandusky. Paterno probably had to know about the suspicions with Sandusky. There are moral questions that exist about not his actions, but his inactions. As i have said, he was in an impossible situation that he really didn't know how to deal with.

Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president

I agree, with the exception of inside the establishment/elite political circles. They're scared to death he may take away their grip on party power.

In addition of independents, a significant number of Democrats will cross over. Even with a complete party lock, it is difficult for Hillary to generate any signs of enthusiasm for her campaign.

What if they sent Trump a bill to make NC law illegal.

Would he sign it?

Well, first, a law can't get to the president unless a majority of Congress favors it. THAT is where the issue might be real.

He has 3 options. Sign it, veto it, or let it become law without signing. He should veto it as it's a state issue and not a fed issue. The Fed courts should rule it unconstitutional for the same reason not involving interstate commerce, and therefore out of fed jurisdiction.

But what he'd do, who knows? I don't.

I know it isn't the biggest issue. But it goes to character.

When you need someone to do a specific job, and the best one for it happens to have a private life that you'd never partake in, would you hire someone else knowing the job will be done poorly?

I'll still probably vote for him considering he is running against that dumb woman.

Trump is wild card / loose cannon. I've been saying that for a while. We like that he's anti-establishment, I like that he is not a politician, and while his changing his mind on issues shows a lack of preparation, it also shows he's willing to change his mind if he thinks it's the right thing to do and logic shows he was wrong. That as opposed to never changing positions because some special interest has paid you to take it and hold it forever in spite of it perhaps being insanity. No one else is going to change anything. Trump might. No guarantees, but with the other candidates, the guarantees we do get is more of the same that the USA has been doing for decades or longer. More corruption, more wars, more inflation, etc. That is a critical issue for the country. Though bathroom usage raises potential moral issues that can be serious, it's simply not a federal case, and not something that the president has any meaningful control over. A (very) little, yes, in the example you gave, but no more.

Is that possibility worth trading away along with someone who might actually do something about the economy that is hurting a lot more people a lot more than this bathroom issue might?

The free market solution is when businesses start making individual stalls for single person usage making all bathrooms suitable for everyone. Cost more, and makes a sad commentary on society, but it would resolve the issue.

However, that said, it was politically stupid for him to utter his thoughts on the subject. To do so exposed his thinking and inclination.

True. He's demonstrated very poor skills as a politician. But we don't want a politician. That's one way of looking at it.

He would have been much smarter politically to have stayed out of it. By running his mouth, he has lost some votes.

I would love for him to start expressing the fact that many of these issues are not presidential issues, that he's running for president, not for pope, that the people of NC have opinions about what's best for them and that they as a state should resolve it on their own.

Sure he's lost votes. Then again, he probably gained some too. Far from perfect for sure.

I know as pres he'll do stuff that I and others here will despise. Everyone's approval rating drops when they start doing stuff instead of saying stuff. Trump won't make it a perfect world. I'm not deluded about that.

There are, indeed, questions. What is lacking are really firm answers as far as any improper action/inaction of Paterno. It is possible Paterno knew about more than grab-assing in the shower, but it is possible that he did not.

He said that in Trump Tower he would let people use which restroom they wanted. But he followed up that it should be left to the states to decide what the law should be.

Based on his denial of Federal authority to legislate the issue, it would appear that he would tend to not sign such a bill. No one will really know until it happens.

Not sign it or veto it? If he simply doesn't sign, it becomes law.

But yes, no one knows. He probably doesn't even know himself, which is just as well, I suppose. The details of the law would likely be a factor as well.

However I am also not naive. If he didn't know, it's because he didn't want to know. It's like a wife saying, "I never knew my husband was molesting our daughter."

The specific question was, "Would he sign it?" Specifically, he would not sign it.

If Congress is in session, he would not sign it, he would write VETO on it, and return it unsigned.

If Congress is not in session, he would not sign it, and may stick it in his pocket and not bother to return it. It is called a Pocket Veto. The bill does not become law.

Whether by Pocket Veto or standard return Veto, the President does not sign the bill.

If Congress is in session and he does not return the bill, then it becomes law.

Unlike a member of the family, Sandusky was not an employee of Penn State, was not a member of Paterno's football program, and the report did not properly belong with Paterno or the football program.

The football program or coach would not properly be investigating alleged grab-assing in a shower when there was no connection to the football program. Paterno passed the matter up his chain of command.

Mike McQueary

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_McQueary

The university senior vice president and others have been charged with perjury for saying that McQueary had reported only horseplay at the time. A prominent Pennsylvania nephrologist (kidney doctor) says that he was present when McQueary described the incident to his father and the description mentioned hearing but not seeing a slapping sound in the other room, seeing Sandusky put his hand around the child's waist and later emerging wearing a towel. Mike McQueary's testimony for the preliminary perjury trial says that he heard 'two or three' slapping sounds before entering the locker room, and later saw Sandusky with his arms around the child's waist while hearing 'more than one' of the showerheads running and saw that the child's hair 'was wet'; although he did not see any sexual contact of hands or genitals or any evidence of arousal, just from the positions of the bodies he knew it was 'over the line' and 'extremely sexual' and 'some sort of intercourse' was taking place, and that he tried to explain what he had seen to Coach Paterno by using the word 'fondling.' Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett, who as state attorney general opened the grand jury investigation, has said that McQueary "met the minimum obligation in reporting it up, but did not in my opinion meet a moral obligation that all of us would have." It has been speculated that he was still employed because he was protected by Pennsylvania's whistleblower law.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10546874/mike-mcqueary-former-penn-state-assistant-said-was-sexual-abuse-victim-sources-say

In another previously undisclosed matter, The Mag found that one grand juror who heard McQueary testify said he doubted his credibility. The grand juror, Stan Bolton, a 53-year-old employee of The Home Depot in York, Pa., now says he was skeptical of McQueary's claim that Sandusky engaged in a sex act with the boy because McQueary told grand jurors that he didn't see penetration.

"This planted a seed with me. Either you saw it or you didn't," said Bolton, who was one of 23 grand jurors. The prosecutors "kind of glossed over it and moved on to who [McQueary] told, which started the whole Joe Paterno thing."

When the presentment charging Sandusky, Curley and Schultz was released, it was written by the 33rd grand jury. In that document, prosecutors said McQueary, identified only as a graduate assistant, was found by the grand jury to be "extremely credible." However, the 33rd grand jury never heard McQueary testify. An earlier grand jury, the 30th, heard McQueary testify on Dec. 16, 2010. Bolton was a member of that grand jury.

" Amen "

Well, we both know that if that were to occur, the perv lovers will be all over TV, crying & wailing like a bunch of stuck pigs, screaming " She took the law into her own hands, our perv had rights, our perv had rights, its unfair, she should be hung" Then all the other asshat lowlife lawyers, judges, and dipshit politicians will chime in with " wah, wah, wah, wah, its really unfair, poor perv had rights, we need to coddle perv's, after all, there might be a few votes in it."

Sound about right?

Then in that case, lets hope the targeted victim girl has her CCL, is carrying, and places a FMJ up the left nostril of the pervert, and splatters his brains all over the walls.

I do so hope - but it won't always be the case ... particularly for minors. Women's bathrooms are no place for penises, and no candidate who preemptively surrenders that fight to stay on the side of pervert "rights" will ever get my vote.

A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.

Agree, especially in the case of minors.

Here is another possibility. A minor is molested by some perv, and is caught. Goes to court, defended by some asshat activist, asshat lawyer, in fron of some asshat judge. The judge decides to be PC, and turns the pervert loose.

Two or three weeks go by, an the pervert is out strolling around, and the minors ( father, grandfather, uncle, whatever ) puts the perv in the crosshairs at 7oo yd, and administers 168gr HP BT attitude adjustment.

Justice administered.

Then all the perv defenders are wailing WAH, WAH, WAH, WAH.

Well, if they do not want it to come to that, then they need to face reality that normal people will only take so much. They should keep their little pet pervs under control, and give up their idiot ideas.

Since you were a "fan" of yukon, you are most abominable of all posters. You were kinda "close" to him and the kanary klan, correct?

We all know you weren't even "close" although GI suggests so. I didn't flag you because of an omission but because GI seems to embrace posters that are unaware of his personal stance.

Oh, I don't know. GI & I have probably had a few differing opinions, but see eye to eye on other things as well. For the most part, we have gotten along fine. Especially on firearm related topics.

n a private meeting aimed at reassuring concerned GOP leaders about Trump's positions and electability in a general election, Trump's "chief lieutenants" reportedly told them that Trump has been "projecting an image" up to this point in the primary season and "the part that he's been playing is evolving" in a way that will make him more palatable to general election voters. How utterly comforting.

Hell,I have been saying that very same thing since he first announced he was running. So have a bunch of other people.

And we were all ridiculed for it by the Trumpeters.

And many of the Trumpeters STILL don't believe this even after his staff is saying it.

People tend to believe what they want to believe because it makes them feel safe and validated. Sometimes they are right,and sometimes they are being very delusional.

Trump said it should be left to each state. I agree. Let's move on.

That's very "Hillaryesque" of you.

No surprise. Every word you write screams "cultist".

We already live in a society where perverts are free to do as they please. They can marry, they can use toilets, they can make people give them equal service in commerce.

And many can,and do,become priests and nuns. Some even become Cardinals and Popes.
