“I’m building a wall”. The Indiana-born Curiel has Mexican heritage, but Trump has said Curiel can not be impartial because he is a “Mexican” and Trump wants to build a wall with along that country’s border. Donald Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. Check. Trump’s insistence that Curiel was an Obama appointee, when in fact he was tapped by California’s GOP governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, merely confirms what we knew about Trump’s tendency to shoot first, aim later (or never).

Newt Gingrich, former Republican Representative, explained, “If a Liberal were to attack Justice Clarence Thomas on the grounds that he’s black, we would all go insane”.
“I think what we’re talking about is jobs and security and bad trade deals”, Lewandowski said, describing the end-of-May deadline as a false one. But Rubio had made what he viewed as a “binding agreement” to support the nominee, and he emphasized that he still thought that Trump was the better option. Though saying he does not speak for all Americans of Mexican descent, Vela concluded: “I am sure that many of these individuals would agree with me when I say: ‘Mr”. I think that should be absolutely disavowed.
“You own his politics”, wrote longtime GOP strategist Rick Wilson, a Trump critic, in a weekend column. That supporter, congressional candidate Gregory Cheadle, told CNN he wasn’t offended, but acknowledged others were. He previously proposed to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the USA and to shut down mosques should he win the presidential election. We shall see. He asserts that no honest judge could have failed to dismiss the lawsuit itself, the gist of which is that Trump University duped often vulnerable people into spending their savings on learning Trump’s overblown business “secrets”. When Barry Goldwater voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, some of the most prominent Republicans in the country determined that they could not support him as their party’s nominee in that year’s election.
But Monday was a reminder that the distance between them is wide, and that “party unity” has its downsides for the House speaker determined to roll out his own policy vision. If he were just a real estate developer and reality television star, the matter of the “university” would concern only Trump, his conscience and the relevant local, state and federal authorities. “His name is Gonzalo Curial”. (We do, which one might think meant that there is no rule actually saying that someone who has been a Republican in the past must vote for a Republican in every circumstance.) McConnell did manage to express his worry that the Party would lose Hispanic votes.
This morning on the news I heard a journalist calling Trump’s current fixation on federal Judge Curiel as “inexplicable” because his comments are racially motivated, factually indefensible, and attracting criticism from outside and within the GOP. (Washington, D.C., will hold a Democratic primary the following week that won’t affect the race.) Trump has already sewn up the Republican contest.
Donald Trump’s Republican endorsers – ranging from the enthusiastic to the halfhearted to the come-lately – together staked out a freshly warped position Monday: I’ll take the candidate, but not his fights.

The seemingly tamped-down comments come after reports surfaced earlier in the day of a conference call with supporters where sources said the businessman vowed to keep up his criticisms of the Curiel. He also made it clear that he would not apologize for his comments about the judge.
