Pat Buchanan is an excellent historian, with a special gift for articulating positions efficiently and clearly. This is a case where Trump would've fared better if he mentioned the LaRaza connection instead of the issue being Mexican descent.
Pat Buchanan would've been concise about that.
Trump (and Buchanan) are right on this, even with the ‘appearance’ of pre-existing bias, if that.
Screw optics, screw ‘feel good diversity’, screw ‘reaching across the aisle’, screw all the appeasing PC crap that goes with it. Screw any quisling ‘concern’ RINOs that decry Trump’s comments. Screw Gingrich.
His rulings are about to be the most scrutinized rulings in the country since Judge Roberts "it's a tax" scam.
If Trump had not stated the case in terms that all of us can clearly understand this case would have been a drag on the election. Trump now has months to hone his message and get it just right - and he is the only one in the race who knows how to do it.
Of course Hillary was going to use Trump university against Trump. It was just sitting there. But Trump has now tied the issue to an incompetent judiciary (forget corrupt - the real problem is incompetence - judges do their damnedest to let cases drag on, and costs and fees mount while deciding what could have been decided in about 1/2 hour of paying attention and deciding what justice would be).
Now she can't, without dragging up all of our complaints about the judiciary, front and center, a system of which she has been a complicit part since she graduated from law school. Trump he's just another victim, a surrogate for all of us and our anger at another part of our governance that is not working at all, something in which GOPe is rushing to take credit along with the Democrats.
I agree with you. La Raza should have been the first and last words out of Trump’s mouth. Don’t muddy the waters. Make it clear who the enemy is. Identify, isolate and destroy. Trump shoots from the hip, and sometimes the shot placement is sloppy.
