Being a member of a race based association already raises serious red flags for any normal person and proves Trump's point. This is why your argument is so weak. Just because people might not be familiar with La Raza doesn't change that. It's enough to know it's a race based organizatio, likely political, and, if anything, it will only get worse as people begin to look up La Raza to discover the full scope of their activities.
Most normal people think to themselves: 'okay, so is he really biased?" And they will discover that quite easily despite the media never telling the truth about anything.
unless of course it's the "white lawyers association"
Since leftists are OK with La Raza, The Black Panthers, etc., I think it's time conservatives started establishing white associations to defend white interests. Blacks and Hispanics will always look out for their interests before that of the nation. Just whining about leftist identity politics isn't working. It's time to confront them to their faces and use it right back at them. Decades of leftist voting proves that there will never be some magical Republican candidate who will ever win a majority of their vote-- though Trump will probably get a larger chunk than Romney.
When leftist talk about inherent white evil, conservatives should embrace it and defend their heritage and the accomplishments of their ancestors.
And Trump isn't going to get a judge to recuse himself on that basis.
It won't work because the supreme court ruled some time ago that you can't dispute people on your jury based on their skin color (if my memory serves), even though it's common knowledge that lawyers LOVE majority black juries to try black criminals because of the well-known phenomena that they are extremely hesitant to convict a black defendant. Political correctness determines law-decisions, unfortunately.
Nevertheless, it doesn't change the fact that the judge cannot provide a fair trial. It's just that it's politically incorrect to conclude that Hispanic or black judges might be biased based on their ethnicity and membership in racist nationalist organizations.
I actually agree with you. But, the reality is that it is not a red flag with just about everyone else outside the conservative blogosphere. You and I don't like it, but that's the way it is.
This is why your argument is so weak.
It's not an "argument". It's simply an observation of how the public perceives this issue. I'll offer the same challenge that I made to another poster: go stand on a street corner and ask 10 people above the dispute between Trump and the judge. I'd be very surprised if even one person knows anything beyond "Trump thinks the judge is biased because he is Mexican."
And if you are lucky enough to encounter someone that actually knows the truth, that person would have voted for Trump anyway.
