If you don't understand why Trump is on the defensive now, you are completely tone-deaf.

This is dumb since the other poster refuted your original point, and you just moved on to criticizing Trump for not explaining what La Raza is.

No, he didn't. He actually reinforced it my point.

Without context, there is nothing objectionable about belonging to a Latino lawyers association. It's common, and will get no traction with anyone.... unless of course it's the "white lawyers association". You and I don't have to like that double standard, but it's just the way it is.

And Trump isn't going to get a judge to recuse himself on that basis. He has to show how the judge might be swayed by the stated position and affiliations of the organization. And there's plenty of evidence for that, but have you heard anything about it outside the conservative blogosphere?

BTW, "La Raza Lawyers of San Diego" (to which Curiel belongs) and "National Council of La Raza" (the organization that many consider to be "La Raza") aren't the same organization.

But, I'm bringing this up so that you are armed with the facts if someone points out the difference. The website clearly links the two:

San Diego La Raza Lawyers Association

Check out the "community" links on the left. You'll find a long list of organizations. It doesn't take much effort at all to link some of them to anti-Trump sentiment.

This is what Trump should have done at the outset.
