Tim Scott of SC, the only black Republican senator, said of Trump’s remarks.

They say: “By displaying this sticker you’re taking a public stand against Trump and his bigotry!”
“I want to support the area of agreements”.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said that for Sanders “I think the math is unforgiving”.
The latest hand-wringing over Trump came after his comments over Judge Gonzalo Curiel prompted a firestorm when he suggested that the Mexican heritage of the federal judge prevented him from ruling fairly in a case over the now-defunct Trump University. He added: “I will make you proud of our party and our movement”. “I do not intend to comment on this matter any further”.
On Tuesday, he released a statement in which he sought to quell the intensifying criticism, saying his remarks had been “misconstrued”.
Trump said all judges should be fair and impartial, and said he doesn’t feel that one’s heritage makes them incapable of being impartial.
As for Bob Giullo, another frequent Trump critic who claimed on paper to have found Trump University worthwhile?
Callers and e-mailers to my radio show who identify as patriotic Americans (and as Republicans) having Mexican heritage have mostly been strongly pushed away from supporting Mr. Trump because of the last few days of what many unbiased observers, not to mention a few biased ones, consider anti-Mexican rhetoric.
When Trump first unveiled Trump University in 2005, he did indeed line up a roster of well-known business professors to consult on and develop a course of study.Earlier this year, the Daily Beast tracked down Roger Schank, who has taught in the past at Northwestern University and Stanford University, and who said he was responsible for the initial curriculum.
“I haven’t endorsed him yet”. Many are anxious about embracing the nominee too closely, fearing they would alienate Hispanics and independent voters.
One GOP senator who had previously indicated support for Trump withdrew his backing. Mark Kirk of IL, who faces a re-election contest in November, said in a statement. But for later editions, the tabloid splashed “HER” on the cover over a photo of Clinton as she assumed the historic mantle of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. But it turned out that most Republican primary voters agreed with him.
But with 24 GOP Senate seats to defend this cycle, including a number in swing states with large Hispanic populations, Trump’s comments continue to put vulnerable Republicans in a tough spot. It troubles me greatly that he is a member of more than one group which focuses on Latino cultural identity (though not the National Council of La Raza) rather than simply on the rule of law and the Constitution.
Sen. Roy Blunt, who faces reelection in Missouri, said, “I don’t agree with the comments” about Curiel. Visibly uncomfortable with the device – which displays a scrolling text to the speaker – Trump mixed in frequent digressions and observations not included in his prepared remarks.
“I just disagree with his tone”.
Hillary Clinton warns that Donald Trump is “temperamentally unfit” to be commander in chief, and she may be right about that. I have never said that.
Some of Trump’s former opponents have indeed criticized him for the Curiel attacks, including Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and John Kasich. “The men had a very big head start on us, particularly white men, as you know. All judges should be held to that standard”, the presumptive nominee said. When pressed by CNN if Trump’s recent comments could change that, he replied with an answer most Republicans voiced: “What’s the alternative?”
Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Illinois, agreed with characterizations of Trump’s comments as racist. They booed when he said he had “a gracious phone call” from Clinton.
