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)

The judge is a member of La Raza.
The law firm handling the case, works for/supports La Raza.
The chief of police in San Jose is a member of La Raza.
Ergo, they do not support this country.
La Raza wants to see the entire Southwest section of this country turned over to Mexico. To me, what La Raza and it’s supporters do borders on sedition, treason and anything else someone can think of. They should be declared a terrorist organization.
Trump has called them out and exposed them. Sunlight, something Cruz would never shine on that a$$clown judge and law firm.
rockabyebaby to cruz, you’re irrelevant, no one cares what you think.
Hot today in Mumbai?
The Judge PROVOKED Mr Trump, He Deserved it and had it coming.
Isn’t that the NEW Standard now??
Let’s all jump on the bandwagon in a last ditch effort to take down trump. That’s all this is. Trump should ignore them all and continue bringing the people on board
Ted,
QUIT DIGGING!
So if Trump doesn’t SAY it, it doesn’t matter?
Congratulations Mr. Cruz. You have now gone from presidential candidate to useful idiot. Nice going.
if you listen to trumps attack it was him being involved with a group called laraza that’s stated aim is to recover all of the southern border of the united states lost through war and treaty. the organization is as vile as the clan when it comes to its tactics and goals.
Ted, shut up and go sit down.
“It’s inappropriate to sign a pledge and not endorse the nominee.”
Bingo. Even Mitt Romney had the good sense to shut his mouth.
Rafael’s behavior is borderline treasonous.
So Cruz won’t mind white guy judges belonging to the KKK. Got it.
That was soooo worth repeating!
So, Cruz...its OK tho for him to be a La Raza member? POS.
It would be inappropriate to attack the judge on his race or ethnicity.
Trump did NOT attack the judge on his race or ethnicity. He attacked him for being a card-carrying member of LaRaza.
Ted is being Slick Willie Slick with this statement. Accusing Trump of something by implication without really accusing him of something.
Even David French would be a better candidate then Cruz, what a shmutz
Oops, Ted’s got it wrong this time. Being the presumed legal genius, he must be uninformed on the matter but spoke anyway.
I think you missed the point.
If Trump had pointed out that the judge belonged to an organization that advocates for illegal aliens (a fact in evidence), is affiliated with an organization that is actively protesting Trump at rallies (also in evidence), the judge would now be on the defensive.
Better yet, Trump should have just let his lawyers file a motion for recusal, and point reporters to the filing with no comment other than "we have filed that motion".
But now, Trump is on the defensive.
If this asshole came down with a terminal disease, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.
