When was the last time transgender people were actively persecuted by law?

Not as easy as you might think. Casual sexism is common, but casual transphobia+overt trans hatred is at least as common.

What isn't easy?  Finding discrimination against trans people?  That's really easy.

tED CRUZ IS OUT!

So much for the contested convention. Now lets see if Kasich actually drops out or remains a parasite.

Shit, Kaisich can't stop Trump from locking the first round. Did Trump offer Cruz something juicy or did the republican party get to Cruz and go with the "tank the election" plan?

After losing Indiana Trump basically had the thing on lock anyway.

Yeah, even if Kasich won every state from here on out, which is impossible, he wouldn't lock it up after a first vote.

Though the pressure will REALLY be on him to drop out.

As for Cruz dropping out, he has said or it has been said that Indiana is 'do or die', and he is simply recognizing that. I doubt Trump offered him anything. Also sucks hard for Fiorina.

I'm ok with this. Scary as Trump is, I find Cruz to be a good bit scarier. I don't see Trump being so stupid as to tank the world economy just to prove a point, which is what Cruz tried to do a while back.

Which is not to say I'd be ok a with a Trump victory overall, but I'd rather him as nominee for the Republicans than Cruz.

I dont think he'd do it to prove a point.  I think he would tank the world economy out of ineptitude.

So with the all the fun and games of the Republican primary effectively over, do we think we'll see a softening and moderating of Trump to woo those pesky undecideds? Or will he go Full Trump on the general elections?

I'd honestly question the judgment of anyone who still feels unsure, after all this circus, who they'd vote for.

Trump could still possibly do that, though less out of inepitude and more out of stupid ideas.

Anyways, funny that it's come down to Trump and Kasich. I don't know why Kasich isn't dropping out despite it being painfully obvious that he won't win (and his campaign screwed up Oregon, so, write off Oregon for him).

For me, it's definetly not Trump for one....

I adore each and every new compelling piece of evidence that Ted Cruz is the zodiac killer, and that image was no exception.

Same. That, and the "Carly Fiorina signed up just in time to lay everyone off" tweet are the elements that currently sustain my life, my wellbeing.
