While Trump’s supporters continued to believe he would rebound after the lacklustre week, there was also tacit acknowledgement that the candidate’s message had gone off the tracks.

Republican leaders including House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell have distanced themselves from Trump’s comments, saying they are anxious the tone of his presidential campaign could enrage Latinos, who are a growing US voting bloc.
Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump “doesn’t really have ideas” but “makes freaky rants and engages in personal feuds and outright lies”.
“I say he’s got bias”, Trump said during an interview that aired Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
It’s possible, yes, Trump said. Yes.
“My concern is that it’s hurting other people”.
In reality, Curiel was born in IN to Mexican-born parents, making him as American as Donald Trump himself.
Curiel has not responded publicly to any of Trump’s comments.
“All of us came here from somewhere else”, McConnell said.
So far, Mr Trump has refused, reiterating in interviews broadcast yesterday that US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s Mexican heritage means he can not ensure a fair trial involving a billionaire who wants to build a border wall to keep people from illegally entering the United States from Mexico. He received undergraduate and law degrees from Indiana University and served as a federal prosecutor and a judge in the California state judicial system before being nominated to the federal bench by President Barack Obama in 2011.
Host John Dickerson later asked if Trump thought a Muslim judge would also be biased against him due to Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States.
Trump also has questioned whether Curiel, who is Hispanic, is biased against him because of his call for deporting immigrants in the USA illegally.
Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the Armed Services Committee chairman who has provided key Republican support for Trump’s foreign policy stances and is also often named as a prospective vice presidential candidate, rebuked Trump’s comments about the judge on ABC’s “This Week”. Instead, self-inflicted wounds and a blistering barrage from Clinton left him on the defensive.
With her address, she assumed the role of the Democratic presidential nominee, even if the numbers won’t ratify that until Tuesday night. Bernie Sanders won at least 20.
The federal judge who’s hearing a Trump University lawsuit is “a hater of Donald Trump” and ought to be removed from the case.
A top Trump adviser acknowledged the task in a Huffington Post interview published May 25.
Clinton wasted little time taking advantage of Trump’s return to form, which seemed to accentuate the points she made in a speech in San Diego on Thursday focused on foreign policy. In response, Martinez’s office said she would meet with the mogul.
Donald Trump said Monday it was “inappropriate” for Newt Gingrich to demand he drop the subject of an American judge’s ethnicity and start acting like “a potential leader of the United States”.
It’s quite telling that despite Trump’s recent rhetoric, his legal team has not sought to have Curiel removed from the case, likely because they know it would be a ridiculous, losing move. He is an American citizen. “(Trump) says on other occasions that he has many Mexican friends, et cetera, but that’s irrelevant.
“This is one of the worst mistakes Trump has made”, Gingrich told Fox News. “Right? I think we can win”.
“He has every right to criticise a judge”. Even after moving to California, Curiel has maintained his Hoosier ties, Aguilera said. But first of all this judge was born in Indiana.
Like Ryan, all three Republicans have endorsed Trump. The declaration looked more like resignation than an affectionate embrace. “He needs to get back to exploiting them which he has done in the past with devastating effect”.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks declined comment.

But the lawsuit says students were asked to rate the product when they believed they still had more instruction to come and were reluctant to openly criticize their teachers on surveys that were not anonymous. But given that Trump is slipping in the polls and actively destroying his credibility on judges, it’s looking increasingly like the bigger concern may be that Trump drags the whole party down to such an extent that Hillary Clinton ends up with a Democratically controlled Senate to rubber stamp whatever Supreme Court nominee she wants.
