Here's an interesting exchange between NBC News and former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz that happened just now:

NBC: Donald Trump's remarks about Judge Curiel, are his concerns legitimate?

Cruz: Of course it's inappropriate to be attacking a federal judge's race or ethnicity. You're going to have ask Donald to explain the reason he says the things he does. I'm not going to try to do so.

NBC: Ben Sasse said that what Donald Trump said about the judge is pure definition of racism. Is Donald Trump a racist?

Cruz: As I said, it is obviously inappropriate to attack a judge's race or ethnicity. Beyond that, you're going to have to ask Donald.

NBC: (As Cruz walks away): Last question — Senator, can you fathom though still at this point supporting Donald Trump in November?

(No response -- goes into office)

Texas was from a rebellion it was a country for serval years before it became a state. California was conquest and the land purchased was the Gadson purchase witch is a small piece of land on the border of Arizona and New Mexico that the USA purchased to put in a portion of santé fe railroad . the United states also got Mexico to sign off on the current border that had been gotten through war.

We darn Trumpsters!

Kinda easy to spot - When Teddy Boy goes DNC or Liberal talking point, they don’t call Teddy out on it. There will usually be something in some other ........ direction, if they comment on the thread at all.

[SaveFerris]

Oops missed ya. And now I need a nap after typing your handle, lol.

I just love it when a HTML demon sneaks in does its black magic on a reply.

I asked the mods to zot that reply.

Your analysis is spot on!

>But it is appropriate for a judge to be a member of a racist organization, I guess.

And I thought my opinion of Ted Cruz couldn’t get any lower. The man is slime.

[RedWulf]

>But it’s appropriate to say that Cruz would have won the Hispanic vote because he happens to be Hispanic, but suggesting ethnic bias in any other context is a no go. These pricks make me sick.

He never had a chance with Hispanics other than Cubans. Mexicans hate Cubans and won’t vote for them.

Too bad Cruz could of found a moment to be supportive to the nominee. Oh Well.

What's with all the gloom & doom funeral stuff - he still has a bright career ahead of him -

"Trump did not attack the judge's ethnicity or nationality, just his bias and corruption (stated or not). "

My recollection is that he said the judge was biased because his parents were from Mexico.

Do you have an exact quote?

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

This is true. My mother is Spanish, straight from Mexico. She hates Cubans, thinks they’re mostly sexual perverts and thieves.

And well, with Cruz’s unresolved affairs allegations, and his creepiness in general, she’s probably right.

Very easy to spot, and they deserve zero tolerance as we gear up to beat the Clintoon and her left wing thugs.

[Grampa Dave]

Freep mail the one I missed!

[Sir Napsalot]

Still striving to be more relevant than he can be, I see.

Excellent summary of the sad state of our sick PC world, thanks to the liberals and GOPe!

Everybody believes in it, even Supreme Court justices talking about the benefits of being a "wise Latina," but when Trump says what is objectively true, all of a sudden we're all Americans and are not allowed to think in terms of race.

[Grampa Dave]

Please post Ted’s Canadian Business card!

Thanks!

And the same week Clinton gets enough delegates to secure the nomination, to boot!
