I was a Cruz supporter in my recently past life. I always said if Cruz fails, I will go with Trump. I have been very frustrated with the #nevertrump crowd, the elite of the gop and any supposed republican that thinks for an instant that Hilary would be better than Trump. The link below explains my feelings better than I ever could. If you are a republican, please, please read the article.

That's all we need to know when assessing a value for that article.

If white juries can be biased against black defendants; if white employers can have built-in, internalized biases that, despite good intentions to be non-judgmental and discrimination-free, dictate their behavior anyway; if basically every time a white person does something to a black person it is racially motivated because we cannot control our inner racist no matter how much we try; then why can’t a Hispanic judge or employer or juror be riddled with the same invidious racist tendencies that influence their decisions and behaviors as well? Because only whites, conservatives, and Republicans are racists.


"GO TRUMP" he rejects the BS and we do too.

It just doesn't hold water when it comes to Trump's allegations against Judge Curiel.

The class action lawsuits against Trump University started early in 2010, way before Trump declared his presidential candidacy.

Some of Judge Curiel's rulings are very favorable to Trump. He delayed the trial until after the presidential election for example, which is very favorable to Trump.

That's for Trump to decide. Just as it would be for everyone in similar situations. The people involved are subjective and may not see it the way those not involved do. It's up to each individual to decide and they have a right to raise the issue and have it looked at objectively. There have been opinions for and against so it's not cut and dried.

Of course it does. It doesn't take a Rocket scientist to look at all the anti-Trump folks who have weighed in against Trump, and see they are the same folks who have been against him from the start.


The Judge should have stepped down from this case, when the conflict was brought out in public, regardless of how he really feels. His involvement in a group that supports Illegal Aliens, and Donald stance on Illegals are enough grounds to create doubt among a majority of unbiased people.

I am still a Cruz supporter and Trump is a pathetic fraud and a clueless idiot. When your party has major problems with women and minority voters, the very LAST thing you want to do is constantly attack and insult women and minorities if Trump were a life long Republican with strong Republican values, he would get a lot more of a pass. However, he's a pathetic RINO fraud who has been a liberal funding Democrat for decades and he has no Republican values, thus the great hesitation with Republicans backing him. Him making absurdly stupid racist and sexist comments nearly every week sure doesn't help either.

Trump can hold whatever distorted opinion he wants, but it still remains only his opinion. If there were actual signs of bias by Judge Curiel, Trump's high-priced lawyers would not have hesitated to take the appropriate legal actions.

The problem in the party has been the Republicans you prize so highly. They have strong principals not shared by most of the people and lack the ability to change. They are without the will to win. Losers !!! That's the only thing they have excelled at.
