Trump Will Win the Nomination

Whew. It's cool. Drumpf didn't apologize for his comments about the judge - he says we just misconstrued his comments. I feel better.

"My comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of Mexican heritage. I am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent. The American justice system relies on fair and impartial judges. All judges should be held to that standard. I do not feel that one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial, but, based on the rulings that I have received in the Trump University civil case, I feel justified in questioning whether I am receiving a fair trial."

Big ass donors probably told him they're putting money into winnable Senate and Governors' races rather than dick around with more erratic bullshit anymore. Getting the Trump U cases pushed out until November was a huge win for Trump. Is hedging a little bit now since he knows that if Doral can't find a sponsor, future corporate retreats at his properties are pretty much over as well. Wants to hang on to his true believers post-election, so he revs them up about a biased anchor baby judge and gives himself an additional excuse if he loses the election and the Trump U cases. Pam Bondi shit won't end well either.
 
I wonder how many attorneys are in the Hispanic National Bar Association. I would presume a solid number since it appears to be the active Hispanic attorney affinity group. Is every single member of this association unqualified to be a judge on a Trump case because the Association's previous statement?

From there one can only presume that lots of judges should recuse themselves due to the various associations and groups they are members of. I think it's a pretty poor idea.

Nah it's cool.

I know it seems like I'm ripping on BKF, but I'm not. I mean what I said, I'm concerned about his health and mental well-being.

I've posted something similar to this before. Totally understand where this is coming from and that it's not a joke.

maybe it's time for this judge to turn the Trump lawsuit over to someone else

This is ridiculous. Unless you can show that this judge was actively involved in the call to boycott Trump businesses, it's a total non-issue. The ABA passed a resolution and issued a press release urging states, territories and tribal governments to allow marriage equality in 2010. Do you think any judge who was a member of the ABA should have been disqualified from ruling on any of the marriage equality cases?
 
Isn't it sooper annoying when someone accuses a person that they disagree with of being raciost, just because they disagree over a matter of law and/or politics, as this Trump fellow seems to be doing here? Hasn't Trump considered the strong possibility that the Judge isn't raciost against him, but might instead be suffering from some sort of medical condition?
 
Not particularly annoying with any critical thinking skills at all. Trump's statement directly implicated ethnicity and race as a reason why the judge could not do his job impartially. If Jeff Lord has some evidence that Ryan has made similar statements or any racist statements I'd love to hear them.
 
Anyone who thinks the Donald will back down on his comments tonight doesn't know this guy at all. It is simply not in him to back down or listen to anyone else's advice except his own instincts. It is the reason why he is so dangerous as a politician. The Leader of the Republican Party? What a joke. In the back rooms they are gagging, one by one. This Party which should of run away with this election and kicked HRC ass, will take years to recover.

A very bad day for the Pubs is an understatement. As I've said before; it is all down hill from here. Landslide territory.

"Not so fast my friends.

Let me rewrite the opening paragraph to represent the true Trump strategy here, one I don't endorse but still recognize for what it is:

Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump has done it again. His attacks on the Mexican heritage of federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel clearly show that Trump's campaign is still following its uncharted but calculated path. The proof is that even prominent Republican leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Speaker Newt Gingrich have disavowed themselves from Trump's attacks on the judge. Surely this is the continuation of the Trump campaign's brash efforts to separate itself from the Republican Party — not so much in reality, but in voter perception.

Trump not only doesn't need the supposed Republican ideological base, he needs to run away from it regularly to distance himself from a losing and shrinking brand. Trump needs to run this campaign almost as if he's a third-party candidate. I say "almost," because he still needs the Republican National Committee money and ground game and whatever percentage of the population that will vote for the GOP nominee no matter who he or she is.

There are also a lot of people in America who feel that they've lost a case in court because they were treated unfairly by a judge or someone else in the legal system. Almost every person I know who is going through a divorce and involved in a child-custody cases feels that way. And as Dilbert creator and blogger Scott Adams pointed out, it's more likely that Trump knows he's going to lose the Trump University case before Judge Curiel and he's simply building a persuasive case in many of our minds that perhaps he will lose unfairly. Lots of Americans will identify with that.

OK, OK, but that still doesn't answer the less polite question of who out there would actually be swayed to vote for Trump, not just based on his distance from the establishment Republican Party, but on perceived racism or racist comments? Here's the impolite, but true answer: There's no denying that Trump has racist supporters. Anyone who's criticized him publicly finds that out the hard way either in person or on social media. Trump is trying to court and greatly expand the white vote, which has been shrinking in the last few elections. Clearly and sadly, this is one way to do it.


But Trump's comments also speak to those non-racists who don't like supposedly harmless liberal identity politics, like Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor calling herself a "wise Latina," or Hillary Clinton talking about how men are often stupid. Those kinds of comments and strategies can produce not-so-harmless responses and reactions. Are there enough potential voters out there who react that way to help Trump? The primary-election results say "yes."


If you don't condone the divisive and racially-charged comments by Donald Trump about Judge Curiel, it probably speaks well of your soul. But it won't speak well of your observational skills if you don't see how it's really all part of what's been a winning strategy for Trump so far. Don't expect this Judge Curiel controversy to hurt Trump in the polls for more than a week or two, if that. It's really all part of the plan."

. and young millennial liberal ideologues are the worst of the worst in that regard. It's almost laughable, considering how little actual experience they actually have with any of these issues in which they are fully confident that they already have all of the answers.

Since this was in response to a post about racism, what do you mean when you say "little actual experience" with the issue of racism?

Have you ever used a "Whites Only" bathroom? Bkf has.

Just to be clear, you don't see any daylight between the demands of the Civil Rights Movement from the 1960s and modern political left's policy positions? Isn't it possible that he could have been in favor of allowing race-blind access to civil and public services and opportunities (what was missing in the 1960s) and opposed to day modern grievance mongering?

Haven't you heard? Rainbow is the new black.
 
Got a pretty heated PM from 19Deac92 using the term "usual suspects on the left." Is it possible that the same person runs both RJKarl and 19Deac92 parody accounts?

Numbers, you are an effete millennial pissant.

Since you want to make it public, here is the "pretty heated PM" that I wrote to you in response to your neg rep for my "if they don't die first" quip earlier today.

"Get over yourself. You and your millennial brethren have absolutely no qualms whatsoever in calling other people stupid, racists, sexists, bigots and nazis on a daily basis when they don't agree with your view of the world. Frequently, like today, there is even enthusiastic discussion about "OWGs" dying off so society can "progress." Mine was a simple retort that was pretty timely and on point. jhmd even spelled it out for you in a follow-on post, since you and your brother were apparently unable to follow along. The fact that you are so butthurt thinking that I crossed some imaginary line of yours, one that is eviscerated dozens of times by the usual suspects on the left, is hilarious to me.

Have a nice evening and a good night's sleep."
