Dumb of him to say with a 156 IQ but no Im not changing my vote... www.donaldjtrump.com
Nobody gonna change from supporting Trump because of this stance especially when you realize
who the alternatives are, Kasich, Cruz no way. Personally The problem could be solved by
venues holding more than 100 patrons having a separate third bathroom for LGBT guests as
it would probably be scary for a teenage girl sharing a ladies room for the first time with a 6 foot
250 ld. wide shouldered brute.

[h=6]- APRIL 20, 2016 -[/h][h=1]THE NEW DONALD TRUMP SHOULD SCARE THE HELL OUT OF THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT[/h]The Washington Post
Gone was “Lyin’ Ted.” In its place was “Senator Cruz.” Gone was the long-winded speech that went nowhere. In its place was a succinct recitation of states and delegates won. Gone was the two-day vacation as a reward for winning. In its place was an early morning trip to Indiana followed by another planned stop in Maryland.
Donald Trump 2.0 made his official debut Tuesday night following his sweeping victory in New York, a win that looks to net him 90 delegates and reestablishes him as the man to beat in the Republican presidential race.
That version of Trump was markedly more disciplined, gentler and more appealing than the version of Trump we've seen for much of the last year. And, that fact should scare the hell out of establishment Republicans who believed that their efforts to keep Trump from the 1,237 delegates he needs to formally capture the GOP nomination was beginning to catch on.
Why? Because it’s clear, at least for now, that Trump is listening to his new political advisers — chief among them convention manager Paul Manafort and national field director Rick Wiley. Trump’s change in tone on Tuesday night was absolutely unmistakable to anyone who has paid even passing attention to his campaign to date. The man who had built his front-running campaign on a willingness to always and without fail take the race to its lowest common denominator — was suddenly full of respect for the men he beat and full of facts about the state of the race.
“We have won millions of more votes than Senator Cruz, millions and millions of more votes than Governor Kasich,” Trump said. “We’ve won, and now especially after tonight, close to 300 delegates more than Senator Cruz.”
The change in tone is absolutely necessary if Trump wants not only to find a way to 1,237 delegates but also unite the party behind him in any meaningful way heading into the general election campaign this fall. The truth is that Trump has to play an outsider and an insider game from here on out. The outsider game is to keep winning primaries by convincing margins like he did in New York. The insider game is to show unbound delegates as well as party leaders and influencers that he can be magnanimous, that he can be a uniting force within the party.
Calling Cruz “Lyin’ Ted” is a great laugh line at a Trump rally but accusing the Texas senator of holding up the Bible and then putting it down and lying isn’t exactly the sort of rhetoric you need or want from a candidate who needs to bring the party together behind a common enemy in Hillary Clinton. It’s the difference between being voted “class clown” and being elected student body president. The former delights in taking the low road for cheap laughs. (I speak from experience.) The latter takes the high road even if it’s against his or her own natural instincts.
Can Trump keep it up? Discipline on a single night or even a single week is one thing. Discipline over several months amid what will be continued attacks from both Cruz and the “stop Trump” movement is something else. And, listening to your new advisers when they are, well, new is easier than listening to them when it’s been a few months of biting your tongue and fighting back some of your natural attack instincts.
But, Trump has shown — both on Tuesday night and over the past week or so — an ability to rein himself in that suggests he understands that this new and improved version of himself is the one that can actually win the Republican presidential nomination. Be scared, anti-Trump forces. Be very scared.

Prince was treated for an overdose just six days before he was found dead in his Minnesota estate on Thursday, a report has claimed.
News of the alleged overdose came as photos emerged of Prince walking out of a Walgreens pharmacy just 15 hours before he was pronounced dead.
Prince's private plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois, on Friday after he performed in Atlanta so he could be rushed to hospital.
Though his representatives said he was battling the flu, multiple sources told TMZ that doctors gave him a ‘save shot’, which is usually given in dire circumstances to drug over dose victims.
The sources said that doctors advised Prince to stay at the hospital for 24 hours, but when he wasn’t given a private room, he and his representatives decided to leave. When he left the hospital, Prince ‘was not doing well’, the sources added.
He was released three hours later and made an appearance at a party in Minnesota the next day, telling fans to 'wait a few days before you waste any prayers'.
The 57-year-old music icon was then seen at about 7pm on Wednesday at a Walgreens pharmacy looking ‘frail and nervous’ with a group of employees or friends. It was his fourth visit to the pharmacy this week.
It is unknown why he went to the store himself or if he picked up a prescription, though per Walgreens protocol, anyone with Prince’s phone number and address could have retrieved medication for him.
Prince was found unresponsive in the elevator at his suburban Paisley Park estate in Minnesota at 9.43am EST on Thursday and was pronounced dead less than 30 minutes later.
His cause of death is not known, but in a call to paramedics on the way to Prince's home, a 911 dispatcher said: 'Male down, not breathing.'

The legendary singer had a history of epilepsy, which according to the CDC can make sufferers more vulnerable to developing serious complications from flu.
He made several visits to the drug store, according to TMZ, which came just days after he was rushed to hospital from his private plane with severe flu symptoms.
He was aboard his private flight when he fell ill on Friday morning, forcing it to make an unscheduled landing in Illinois.
TMZ reported that the seven-time Grammy award winning singer's plane diverted to Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois, to make the emergency landing.
.
Prince had previously revealed that he was epileptic and had suffered seizures as a child. He was bullied at school over his condition which he said he dealt with by developing is iconic larger-than-life personality.
The singer, a devout Jehovah's Witness, later told his mother he had been cured by an angel.
The CDC warn that epilepsy can make sufferers more vulnerable to developing serious complications from the flu.
[h=3]HARROWING 911 CALL REVEALED[/h]Authorities have released the harrowing 911 call for Prince who died at his Minnesota home this morning.
An emergency dispatcher can be heard putting out the call for paramedics to attend the music icon's $10million mansion for 'a male down not breathing' after Prince was discovered unresponsive in an elevator at 9.43am.
After telling the paramedic Prince's address, she repeats: 'Person down not breathing.'
She advised that CPR had begun at 9.49am but by 10.07am, Prince was pronounced dead.
While Prince never made clear if he was still struggling to live with epilepsy, his song The Sacrifice of Victor tells the story of a boy who was 'epileptic 'til the age of seven'.
Meanwhile, Aretha Franklin made the bizarre suggestion that Prince may have contracted the Zika virus.
The Purple Rain hitmaker had performed at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta on last Thursday night - the second of two back to back sold out shows - and had seemed fine during the concert.
Prince made what is believed to have been his final public appearance on Saturday at a dance party in Minnesota.
He was keen for people to have 'living proof' that he was still alive, and he arrived at the bash to show off his new guitar and piano.
He didn't sing, but he did tell the crowd: 'Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.'
A picture posted by a fan on Instagram appeared to show Prince riding a bicycle outside his estate on Sunday.
Prince's $10million Paisley Park sits just more than half an hour outside Minneapolis, and the musician would host parties and record music at the estate, according to CBS Minnesota.
Construction began on the estate, which was designed and owned by Prince, in 1985 and it officially opened on September 11, 1987.
It featured a 12,000 square-foot soundstage, guitar room, game room, and 'The Vault', where he stored unreleased material.
He allowed fans to buy passes to tour the estate in 2000, but no one was allowed in The Vault.
Prince was known for his sexually charged lyrics and was romantically linked to a number of male and female stars, including Madonna, Sinead O'Connor, Kim Basinger, Kylie Minogue, Carmen Electra and Boy George, among a number of other people.

They had a son together, called Boy Gregory, in October 1996, but he was born with Pfeiffer Syndrome and died a week later.
The baby was tragically born with Pfeiffer syndrome, a rare disorder that does not allow the head to grow properly due to the premature fusion of certain bones of the skull, and died just a week after his birth.
Garcia, who split with Prince in 2000, looked exhausted and emotional today as she made a phone call at her home in Los Angeles, just hours after learning of her ex-husband's death.
Garcia spoke to People about her ex-husband's tragic death, saying; 'I can't even think of the words of what I'm feeling. This man was my everything, we had a family. I am beyond deeply saddened and devastated.'
She then added; 'I loved him then, I love him now and will love him eternally. He's with our son now.'

The superstar musician combined rock, R&B, soul, disco and hip-hop to create a unique sound that led to him selling more than 100million records during his 40-year career.
Prince was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1958 and started making music at the age of seven.
He first found fame in the late 1970s and over the next three decades became known as one of the most inventive and eccentric forces in American pop music.
He became even more famous with the release of the film Purple Rain in 1984, a seemingly autobiographical movie set in the club scene in Minneapolis.
The film was a huge success and the soundtrack album spent 24 weeks at the top of the charts and sold more than 13million copies.
The legendary singer and songwriter is best known for hit songs such as Raspberry Beret and Little Red Corvette.
He was fiercely protective of his independence, battling his record company over control of his material and even his name.
In 1993, Prince legally changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol - also known as the Love Symbol. During that phase, he was referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. After changing his name back to Prince, he was sometimes called The Artist Formerly Known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.
Prince once wrote 'slave' on his face in protest at not owning his work and famously battled and then departed his label, Warner Bros, before returning a few years ago.
Prince, an intensely private person, sold more than 100 million records during his career, won seven Grammy awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
In 2007, he played the Super Bowl in one of the most celebrated half-time show performances in history.

'Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent.
'As one of the most gifted and prolific musicians of our time, Prince did it all. Funk. R&B. Rock and roll. He was a virtuoso instrumentalist, a brilliant bandleader, and an electrifying performer.
'"A strong spirit transcends rules,” Prince once said - and nobody's spirit was stronger, bolder, or more creative. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, his band, and all who loved him.'

[h=3]PRINCE'S JOURNEY: THE SEVEN-YEAR-OLD WITH A LOVE FOR MUSIC TO THE MULTIMILLIONAIRE MUSIC LEGEND[/h]
+35
Prince Rogers Nelson was born on June 7, 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and was attracted to music from an early age, learning to play instruments and writing his first song at the age of seven.
As a teenager he joined the funk group 94 East, which had been formed by Willie Pepe, the husband of his cousin. The band gained a local following but was forced to disband in early 1979 due to the success of Prince's breakthrough album, called Prince.
That album came one year after his debut album, For You, on which Prince did all the singing and played all the instruments, which included guitars, basses, synths, bongos, congas, finger cymbals, wind chimes, orchestral bells, and woodblocks, to name just a few.
'Prince', which would eventually go platinum, spawned the hit single I Wanna Be Your Lover.
He released an album a year for the next three years, starting with Dirty Mind (certified gold), Controversy (certified platinum) and what would be his biggest album to date in 1982, named 1999.
That album, which went 4x platinum, contained three of Prince's most well-known songs including the title track, Delirious, and one of his signature singles, Little Red Corvette, which despite its undying popularity over the past 30 years never charted higher than number 6 in the US charts.
His next album took two years to make but would become his masterpiece, a work that is widely considered by music critics and fans alike to be one of the greatest albums of all time - Purple Rain.
That album, released in 1984, also served as the soundtrack to the film of the same title released that year by the singer.
Prince brought in a number of artists to sing and play on the album, which eventually went 13x platinum and contained two songs that topped the charts in the US, Let's Go Crazy and When Doves Cry. Those were in addition to the title track and I Would Die 4 U, two more songs many associate with the artist.
The next eight years marked one of the most fruitful times in Prince's career with the release of one album every year; Around the World in a Day (2 x platinum), Parade (platinum), Sign o' the Times (platinum), Lovesexy (gold), Batman (2 x platinum), Graffiti Bridge (gold), Diamonds and Pearls (2 x platinum) and Love Symbol Album (platinum).
Those albums contained singles including Kiss and Batdance from the 1989 film Batman, and Cream which all topped the charts, as well as Raspberry Beret, Diamonds and Pearls, and the Sheen Easton duet U Got the Look.
Prince went on to release 23 more albums in the past 21 years, though none reached the success of his work in the 1980s as he adopted a more experimental sound with his work.
The one exception to that was his 2004 work Musicology, which went 2x platinum and won Prince two Grammy Awards for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance and Best Male R&B Vocal Performance Male.
He released his final two albums last year - HITnRUN Phase One in September and HITnRUN Phase Two in December.
In addition to his financial success thanks to his sales, he also enjoyed much critical success, especially in the early years of his career.
He won seven Grammy Awards over the years, with his last win coming in the Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2008 for his song Future Baby Mama.
He was nominated an impressive 32 times for music's biggest prize, with Purple Rain and Sign O' the Times getting Album of the Year nods and the singer also landing a Song of the Year nomination for writing one of the most popular songs of all time, the Sinead O'Connor ballad Nothing Compaes 2 U.
He also won the Best Original Song Oscar at the 1985 Academy Awards for Purple Rain.
