1 & 3) - I would disagree, I believe Trump did cave on the issue of HB2.



Here is the footage of him on the Today Show discussing the issue. One of the big things he mentions is the economic impact and that North Carolina should have left this issue the way it was. This issue wasn't brought about by North Carolina. It was brought about by the City of Charlotte, the majority of its city council that decided to vote to force businesses within the community to conform to the transgender agenda.

I can't stand Jimmy Kimmel, but here is the second time Trump was asked about the issue.



Based on Trump's interviews, his speeches, and his lack of interest on social issues I do believe that he will cave and disappoint the Christians that he said in a video that he would not let down. You have dismissed my thoughts as mere speculation, but that is exactly what got Donald Trump elected.

2. This is from the Federal Election Commission, TRT. Trump gave himself a loan. If he's not going to pay that back via corporate donations, then can you tell me why he took out a loan?

Also, what about Sheldon Adelson? I would like to read your thoughts on that situation I mentioned in the prior post.

Think what you want pal, because it looks to me like you're going to do exactly that anyway.

But I will tell you this. he had to by law, keep exacting records of his expenditures during this campaign. Now, he could have said he anted up, or he ponied up, or he could have said he self funded. He still has to have records. Even PolitiFact, who would love to have landed on him much harder than they actually did, rated his statement as 'half true' because he has put up about 38 million for his campaign. I'll tell ya, half true in this day is like nigh on to scriptural in comparison to Hillary and corps.

And then this is worth consideration too in my view. When Trump started his campaign, he didn't know if he'd shortly get laughed off the debate stage and politics in general, or not. As a consequence he was as frugal as he could be in his spending. I think I saw somewhere that while Sanders was spending 9 dollars per vote in New York, Trump was spending 13 cents per vote. And numbers like that have been the story for Trump throughout this cycle. He isn't the clairvoyant that many profess to be these days, and didn't have the first darn clue while running, if he would win or not until Indiana when Cruz suddenly drug up. The point is for you or anybody to say he had some nefarious counter plot to get all his money back from the git-go, when he didn't even know if he could stay in the race very long, much less win the nomination is an epic stretch in my book.

So, if you're dead set to sidestep the obvious events as they have unfolded before your beady little eyeballs, there isn't a lot I can do about it. But don't expect me to join the dark side until and if something solid starts getting reported by sources other than #NeverTrump, the establishment rich, rabid liberals and other assorted extreme left loons. :biggrin:

Oh and then there is the bathroom deal in NC. The Governor has got this. Trump the candidate would be stupid to wade into that mud, end of productive discussion.
