The rest of the story: Why Trump is right about Judge Gonzalo Curiel
Worldtribune.com ^ | June 8, 2016 | Jeffrey T. Kuhner

Posted on 06/08/2016 9:43:30 AM PDT by Biggirl

The establishment is now looking to finish off Donald Trump. The presumptive Republican nominee is under intense criticism for his comments about the federal judge presiding over the Trump University class-action lawsuit. Our political and media elites are trying to turn this into Trump’s version of Mitt Romney’s infamous “47 percent” comment — a watershed moment that cripples the GOP candidate’s electoral viability.

And.. let us NOT forget..

WASHINGTON — In 2001, now Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an appeals court judge back then, gave a speech declaring that the ethnicity and sex of a judge “may and will make a difference in our judging.”

After reading this, you could very well change your mind:

Change my mind about what?

I know the truth about La Raza...

My point which you seemed to have missed is perception IS reality...

What Trump said sounded "racist" though it really wasn't because he make the issue about his ethnicity rather than his La Raza perceived ideology and unfairness presiding over his civil trial...

My point about this being the general election basically is saying he no longer has to say controversy comments to keep in the news cycle, which I think his "mexican" comment was really about...

He's the nominee and his controversial comments will get a lot more scrutiny by the general public who are now starting to pay attention...

I have some very good news though.

With the summer season being here, people are not going to be paying much attention to what is going on until Labor Day holiday or weekend, right afterwards. That is where people are going to start to PAY ATTENTION to the general election. Folks right now are taking their vacations or just want to be outside more. Just saying.

Thanks to Social Media, Americans are quickly learning the truth about “La Raza”.

I understand the argument that “it’s not about his ethnicity” but his membership in racist organizations such as La Raza, but IMHO, IT IS about his ethnicity. It’s not guaranteed that he’s biased against Trump whether or not he’s a member of La Raza, but even if he were not, the fact is that 80+% of people of Mexican descent, and virtually all of their leaders, view Trump as Public Enemy Number One based on his views about the border with Mexico. Does political correctness control things to such as extent that it’s “racist” to point out that obvious fact?

Like it or not, this general election year is NOT going to be a NICE ELECTION year. At least Mr. Trump is a FIGHTER.

I am a little worried that his latest on the issue is watered down

But maybe he figures now that the issue is out there his backers will see that the truth comes out

People are still missing the point: Trump’s rise is because people are SICK TO DEATH of watching people’s lives ruined because of a misstatement or some perceived slight.....Political Correctness is Satan’s best tool on Earth.

Ever hear of video?

This little perceived misstatement is going to be hashed over by the democrats until election night...

You can't unring that bell...

Trump needs to turn the "Mexican" narrative around to a "La Raza" narrative...

FYI - “La Raza” is a “Mexican” narrative. Virtually impossible to un-ring that bell.

The thuggery in Palo Alto IS what we are talking about. This is all of a piece. Trump is going after the left establishment in the US. That includes, especially, LaRaza. This is civil war with a segment of our political structure that opposes Constitutional government. They will kick and scream and cry all manner of foul while being driven out. But driven out they will be. Trump is teaching us to trust him to be on the patriotic side of American life. We need to have his back.

Trump did not put his foot in his mouth. The leftist establishment is trying to cram their feet down our throats. Stop believing lies. If you do not know what that is then stop believing every single word out of the mouth of anyone representing the left or the political establishment. You will be in good shape 99.99% of the time.

Trump did put his foot into his mouth...

This isn't about that the judge parents are Mexican, it's about his perceived relationship with racist organizations:La Raza...

Trump said he was being unfair because of his Mexican heritage, which is impossible to prove, it easy to connect he dots to LA Raza...

The leftist establishment is trying to cram their feet down our throats....If you do not know what that is then stop believing every single word out of the mouth of anyone representing the left or the political establishment.

After following the corrupt media for 35 years, I never quite figured that out. / S

Thanks for giving me that heads up, that the media has an agenda, is corrupt, is disingenuous and liars... :)

You need to read some transcripts of Trump’s actual words. He said precisely and specifically what you are suggesting he ought to have said. Do not expect any mainstream media to tell the truth about Trump. They will lie and distort with absolute consistency.

Stop it. You know you are on the wrong side of this. The fault does not lie with Trump’s words but with the distortion of those words by a deceit filled leftist media and political establishment.

You seem to be in need of extensive counsel. I am happy to do my part.

If a judge walks like a Mexican, talks like a Mexican, acts like a Mexican, belongs to La Raza and supports a racist Mexican legal organization, he may be a biased, racist Mexican!
