Unlike John Kasich, who tossed North Carolina under his Jon Huntsman Retread Bus, Ted Cruz stood up for the people of North Carolina, according to the Associated Press:

Cruz said Thursday during taping of a MSNBC town hall in Buffalo, New York, that states can pass such laws because ‘men should not be going to the bathroom with little girls.’ Cruz says, ‘That is a perfectly reasonable determination for the people to make.’
