That was back in 2005. Trump was liberal then.

His comment against the North Carolina law was this year. He also said that Caitlyn Jenner could use any restroom she wanted in his properties.
(CNN)Donald Trump recently said Caitlyn Jenner could use whichever bathroom she wanted at Trump Tower – and the transgender reality star did just that.

A video that she posted on Facebook Wednesday shows Jenner walking in and out of Trump International Hotel and Tower in New York City for a bathroom break – in the women’s room.

“A trans woman in New York, I gotta take a pee. Anyways, Oh my God, Trump International Tower, I love this,” Jenner says in the video.

But Trump said in his nomination speech, “As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens” and when many people at the Republican convention clapped, he said, “And I have to say as a Republican, it is so nice to hear you cheering for what I just said. Thank you.”

Also, one of the speakers at the Republican conventions was Peter Thiel who said in his speech that he is “proud to be gay, proud to be a Republican” and is supporting Donald Trump.

Being socially conservative doesn’t mean you want gays and lesbians murdered. I mean really.

I doubt that Mr. Trump minded Peter Thiel saying that he’s “proud to be gay” in his convention speech.

Sanders confirmed he is not an atheist to CNN’s Jake Tapper, BTW:

“I am not an atheist,” he said. “But aside from all of that,** it is an outrage and sad that you would have people in important positions in the DNC trying to undermine my campaign. It goes without saying, the function of the DNC is to represent all of the candidates – to be fair and even-minded.”**

Is there any doubt the system is rigged in both parties?

Well at least the Republicans don’t have super delegates but I thought I’ve been pretty clear that I haven’t been happy with either party for different reasons.

I’m sure he didn’t. I didn’t.

At least that’s something we agree on. Many conservatives for some reason don’t think that gay people should be proud to be gay. In fact, being proud of this offends many of them and they are usually against gay pride parades.

I seriously doubt this particular election will be won or lost in the debates. Debating is considered an elite activity among most undecided voters this year. They would rather see actions rather than fancy talking. At least that is the impression I get from talking with a lot of them and reading polls.

Unless Donald Trump were to make a major blunder which I don’t rule out. I did hear discussion tonight that actually he might try to get the debate format or schedule changed. I do think if he tries to duck out , that could hurt him as well if he is seen as trying to get out of debating.

If they really wanted to be neutral they would have gotten rid of super delegates. However, they didn’t and won’t. Bernie never had a chance and there is no indication that anyone else who isn’t part of the ‘main stream’ of the party is likely to any time soon.

Hillary backer and former PA governor Ed Rendell said tonight he would favor doing away with superdelegates if caucuses were done away with too.
