>> However, I don’t know why they haven’t filed a motion for recusal. I think they should have done that, and let it speak for itself — rather than Trump complaining publicly. <<

I agree.

Wrong?

They trumpet their ethnicity at every corner

You’re playing by Paul Ryan’s rules

I’m not nor have I for a long time

Your way has a history of loss ma’am and more than just political

Our national identity and the west in general

Sucking up to non whites and non Christians has destroyed us

I’m out west now with two of my boys in Santa Fe headed to Gunnison

This is not the America I grew up in

One big brown secular blob asking me to pay for it all

Build a wall

Send their asses back

Eff La Raza and its off shoots

Don’t go wobbly on us honey!

Is your argument that American citizens can be judged based on the national origins of their ancestors ? That is surely a losing argument in so many ways.

Exactly. Eisenhower damn sure called them WETBACKS. This PC BS is killing us. Trump is what we need. No more PC BS.

We damn sure used to call Italians Wops, These free loading Mex’s we called Wetbacks. The damn Chinese were Chinks. What is the big deal? The damn blacks call whites all kinds of names. These jerks are getting free rides while we pay.

Oh lord what PC snowflake?

Is America supposed to reflect the world or our historical identity?

Look how minority groups in general vote and behave here today baring a few exceptions but even they tend to vote democrat

Do you think a non white majority USA will retain our culture and freedoms

I sure as hell don’t?

We’re allowing in so much immigration it will dwarf us and destroy us paid for by us and enabled by us

Naive sensibilities like your kumbaya is going to get my descendants killed

And their birthright obliterated

Where the hell do ninnies like you live

I’m guessing somewhere pastoral

It’s not race. It’s state of mind. It’s generational dependence on government and rejecting ownership of your life. It’s resentment, envy, greed, violence, and the glorification of criminality.

It’s falling thrall to a government that has no qualms about generational theft to support this economic and moral enslavement ... and that has no qualms about lying to protect that generational scheme.

It’s the disregard for laws, the Constitution, and the American tradition and culture.

It’s the rejection of the foundation of the faith - and its responsibility it places on us - that was integral to our country’s founding.

It’s a complete lack of respect for others, for oneself.

It’s not race.

And it’s only race because those in power who will do *anything* to stay there make it about race.

They bank on us not knowing how the early Republican party was represented by numerous, accomplished, eloquent and, most importantly, freedom-minded black Americans. Which of course had to be destroyed by the KKK.

I’m glad some can see it for the gaffe it was. He never should have used the language “Mexican heritage” when citing a reason to distrust Judge Curiel. It’s just not defensible in the public arena. To far too many, to impugn even one’s nationality is to be “racist”. It doesn’t matter if technically speaking, by the mere definition of words, it’s actually not racist. It is in the dim minds of the left, and that’s all that matters, again in the public arena (which sadly they control)

He should have said right out of the gate that it was because of the Judge’s associations with La Raza that his impartiality can’t be assumed. Leave his nationality out of it. It’s too late now though. Hopefully, as you said he moves on. In his victory speech last night he said he’d be giving a press conference sometime around Monday all about Clinton. So that’s good. Get back on message so to speak.

As to the OP, I must say, sadly as a former Cruzer, Sen. Cruz shouldn’t be enabling the further bloodletting surrounding Trump’s gaffe. He should stick to the job he has now, being a Senator, the race is over. Any more criticism about Trump from him comes across as sour grapes.

If a judge walks like a Mexican, talks like a Mexican, acts like a Mexican, belongs to La Raza and supports a racist Mexican legal organization, he may be a biased, racist Mexican!

That was indeed his mistake.

But he’s learning. Helluva time for a learning curve, but we are we are.

I reject the Aryan Nation argument. All American citizens share the same birthright independent of their ethnicity.

MSM, the democrats, some RINOs and even some supposedly close to Mr. Trump have all blown this story way out of proportion for their own personal gains (or losses) because I'm certain Mr. Trump's comments were directed at the wide audience in San Diego, twelve of whom who will hear his case sometime in November after the Presidential Election. BTW, I am now back home, residing in San Diego.

You’ve got to be a woman

This is, without a doubt, the most ridiculous post I've seen all week.
