Trump defends criticism of judge with Mexican heritage
CNN ^ | 6/3/2016 | Theodore Schleifer

Posted on 06/03/2016 2:40:25 PM PDT by GilGil

Donald Trump on Friday vociferously defended his claims that a judge overseeing a lawsuit against Trump University is biased because of his Mexican heritage -- pushing back against criticism that his objections are racist.

Speaking with CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead," Trump repeatedly referenced his plans to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico and renegotiate trade agreements between the two countries.

The presumptive GOP nominee said U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, a federal district judge in the Southern District of California, has made "rulings that people can't even believe."

Trump will win the presidency.

How do I know? Because he hides from no media. He is not intimidated.

Clinton has not faced a news conference in 6 months. There is so much pent up momentum to bury Hillary with questions about so many of her scandals.

Meanwhile, Trump is doing what he did to the other 16 candidates. He controls the media narrative and he faces his enemies daily and diffuses any media bombs and he keeps redefining Hillary as the sleaze bag criminal that she is.

Hillary hides.

Trump will be president. He hides from no one. No doubt!

MSM hates him but they love the ratings he gets them.

Hillary puts people to sleep.

I’m on record here as saying she’ll win due to demographics and massive vote fraud.

But that scenario is becoming less and less plausible to the fact she’s an appallingly bad candidate.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the CW about her is upended in November.

Remember, this is the day that he backtracked on his suggestion to debate Sanders.

He knew that calling this judge a Mexican would get the Sanders debate story completely off the news cycle.

Looks like this judge is a member of LaRaza

The suit has been brought by a Clinton crony:

Starting to look like a plot to me.

Trump makes the news.

Media is fascinated with him to no end.

He keeps drawing above capacity crowds.

There’s an excitement about him people don’t feel about Hillary.

And she’s struggling to fend off The Bern.

Maybe Trump should just tell Hillary that Trump U was a “MISTAKE”. Boo-Boo all better now, right Hillary?

So now it’s “racist” to object to a judge being a racist and being a member of a racist organisation? Not sure that’s how racist works...

I call it treason and it is punishable by prison or death.

"massive voter fraud"

That is the ONLY way Hillary wins. I think this is why Team Soros supplies plenty of Mexican flags for these riotous protests, to motivate the illegals to get out and vote. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS ODUNGA HAS ACCELERATED THE FLOOD OF ILLEGALS AHEAD OF THE ELECTION!!!

FReepers say "oh no, they cannot vote" but.. WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE LATE HOURS WITH TONS OF PROVISIONAL BALLOTS DUMPED INTO HUGE DRUMS AT THE POLLS AND THEY'LL BE THREATENED WITH LEGAL ACTION BY TEAM ODUNGA IF THEY AREN'T COUNTED.

Think judge is member of La Raza group of California lawyers
Not the same as La Raza organization we all know about nor affiliated as far as I can find out.

But judge is a looney leftist and we need to find out if he is politically active on the bench and off, by his rulings and history.Anybody know?

I don’t know why people think that Trump needs the votes of all Hispanics. This all goes back to that 2012 GOP “autopsy” that incorrectly concluded, “It is imperative that the RNC changes how it engages with Hispanic communities to welcome in new members of our party.”

The GOP cannot compromise its principles chasing the illusion of Hispanic votes. Trump knows that there will be plenty of Hispanics attracted by the new jobs that he plans to create. That is the way to approach a proper outreach. The party neither needs nor wants Hispanics who aren’t attracted by a program to improve their economic opportunities.

He is but there are suspected ties of LaRaza Lawyers to LaRaza. There are several people looking into his affiliations. Trust me.
