Very good assessment, with quotes, from Washington Examiner. If DT loses to Bernie there is only one person to blame. The one who doesn't take advice unless it's from a lawyer.

Byron York: Trump's self-destructive rambling baffles GOP strategists

In a speech that went a little less than an hour, Trump spent more than ten minutes talking about Trump University. Ten minutes is a lot of time. It was far more, for example, than Trump spent talking about jobs — one week before a terrible jobs report raised serious questions about the recovery. Ten minutes was more than Trump spent talking about illegal immigration, his signature issue. Or veterans, a recent favorite. Or even, astonishingly, the damning State Department report on Hillary Clinton's email scandal.

No, Trump spent more time talking about the Trump University lawsuit than all of those. He discussed individual plaintiffs by name. He discussed various law firms. His opinion on summary judgment. And more. And, in the course of his extended remarks, Trump said of Curiel, "So what happens is the judge, who happens to be, we believe, Mexican, which is great. I think that's fine..."

And it was off to the races. Trump spent the next several days — it's not over yet — sharpening his attack on Curiel and setting off a wave of indignation, anger, criticism, and embarrassment that sent Republican allies running as Trump dug his hole deeper and deeper.

But it all started not with a rival's attack but with Trump himself and that ten-minute soliloquy in San Diego.

Bernie?

BTW, people have written off Trump before and pronounced him DOA.

Funny thing, is all those predictions were dead wrong.

They still don’t understand what makes Trump tick.

That he brought this up himself is what worries me. Either he has a plan that is not clear yet or he is more worried about this lawsuit than moving to the general election.

I guess there is another option that he is trying to diffuse this before September so it is not a viable attack. I’ll just keep my fingers crossed that he knows what he is doing and can turn this around.
